How to Make A DIY Rubik's Magic

[512456]

I just got my DIY tiles and strings today. Just wondering, do you print the rings on a piece of thin papar or harder stuff like cardboard? By the way, are the rings on this site http://www.rubiks.com/World/~/media/Files/8panel_black_magic.ashx exactly fits the tiles?
One more question. Do you use 16 tiles for a magic 8?

Thanks.

Go with just regular paper, no point in making it any harder or thicker than necessary.

are the rings on this site http://www.rubiks.com/World/~/media/...ack_magic.ashx exactly fits the tiles?

They look about right. My tiles are approx. 2"x2", so the paper will be approx. that big.

Do you use 16 tiles for a magic 8?

Do you mean for a magic that is 2x4? If so, yes, it takes 2 half-tiles to make 1 piece of a 2x4. The paper goes into the middle.

Thanks. Just stringed them although they are not as good as those factory-made ones.

I have some questions:
Where is the best place to buy magic? (cheapest and best quality)

I got mine from Mitchell at opticubes.com . Not sure if he still does them.
