first I started with a 5ct Ferro Rochette pyramid and lightly sanded the black number off of the side.
then, after printing out my design, I marked out with a sharpie which parts I wanted to remove for the cutout design.
I then used a box cutter knife to cut out those portions so that you get the depth shown in the pictures.
I decided it wasn't in my best interest to cut out the small triangles at the top because I didn't trust my own hand. lol so I filled them in from the inside and then painted the entire thing gold from the inside.
I then traced my earlier picture in foam core so I had my lining. I cut 2 triangles out and then sliced them in half so as to thin it out and to give me 4 sides.
I made up my design and printed it out to check my size. I then covered the peices (printed pics glued to the foam core) in clear packing tape to give it a shine and to keep it from falling apart.
I hot glued the peices into place. I painted the bottom and then hotglued it onto the bottom to finish it off. (note that I lined the spaces between the 4 black peices with hot glue to support it and secure it. I'd recommend doing the same)
turned out remarkably well for what I was expecting. Due to the different depths it's not very photogenic - camera has touble focusing on all parts. here's the custom made image I used for my sides.
