It's a tray, and it's a hexagon, and it stacks! Pick you own pattern to personalize it or match it to a specific game. Hope you like it! My favorite step is when you curve it around and it pops up into a 3D hexagonal ring - I'll never get tired of how satisfying that is!

You have the best intro I've ever seen or heard. Thanks for the template!

[EtheraVenlivrenVari]

Tried it out for a game I'm gonna DM for my siblings next week. It's perfect for it and wasn't too difficult to put together either!

[GClubChannel]

That's really clever and it makes me feel like it's simple enough that I can do it.

Also, I love the soothing tone of the video like watching Bob Ross paint. #happylittletrays

Great video; short, clear instructions and a template to download. Well done!

[beastdude]

I like how simple this is. And so easily customisable too. Thanks.

[RupertAndi]

This is a great idea. Not just a dice tray but you can use it for playing pieces, like those darn virus cubes in Pandemic or the resources in Architects of the West Kingdom. Thank you for this great idea!

Your vids are great and high quality! Keep up the good work

Came here from today's Winter Spectacular launch video - just starting to explore your channel now, but I love it so far! Very calming, kind, encouraging voice, nice paper sounds, and pleasant music.

I honestly get feelings of anxiety just imagining myself trying some of these (especially the dice tower), but I definitely love the channel and this one looks so useful and pretty simple. I could see myself giving this a try over winter break. Thanks!!

Thank you!! I'll try to make one today. Seems I can do it.

You are a genius that is totally sick. Nice Idea will try it tomorrow.

Hi there, I love this idea. this would work for Roll Playing games or any game that used dice, thank you for making this tutorial and free template.

[BigRedGamer]

Awesome work! Look forward to your next project. These videos and projects are high quality and I hope more people discover your talent.

[GameVinereviews]

That is so clever! Now I need a how to make a Dice Tower now.

[shorelessskies]

As an experiment I made one of these using only printer paper (no cardboard) and it works just fine. Obviously, it's light and not as durable, but it's much quicker if you just need to get some made.

[TheMegaSkyDark]

Hope you can make videos this good again very soon

[nonopedraza]

Just great. Very useful and nice. Thank you so much. How about a dice tower? Impatient for your new video...
P.D.: done and fully operational.

For the scoring step, you can not only use a knitting needle or a butter knife. An empty ballpoint pen will work too!
