Go Team! Go UCONN Huskies! This college dorm cube is so versatile that everyone is going to want one, not just college students. This cube is flexible enough to be propped up in bed for all those long hours of reading, and it can spring as an impromptu seat when friends come to visit the dorm room. Need something to sit on while gaming, just pull it up, or maybe use it as a table for your soda next to your favorite chair. The uses are limitless. Customize it to reflect your school’s mascot. Use faux-fur like this husky material from Shannon Fabrics, or maybe use printed fleece with your school’s logo. Any sturdy material will work with this project. The finished size of this project measures 14 inches cubed, but you can make it any size you desire by adjusting the measurements. This project is perfect for the entire family as they gather together in the family room or lounge in a bedroom.
