PAPER KIT WHITE BLOCK CUSTOMIZATION

Making each artwork truly yours

White Hexspire blocks are designed as a creative blank canvas. They allow you to step beyond predefined colour palettes and turn the building process into an expressive, hands-on art experience.

The 250g paper used for the blocks is thick enough for bold experimentation. It absorbs color well, holds its shape, and remains structurally stable even when exposed to moisture, paint, or layered finishes. Lighter papers would warp or lose precision — these are built to handle it.

Below are several proven techniques you can use to customize your blocks before folding and assembly.

HEXSPIRE Block Colours — SOLID vs LAMINATED

  • HEXSPIRE Block Colours — Solid vs Laminated

    Solid Colour

    Premium quality, colour-soaked paper with no white edges on cuts. Works like classic paper — easy to draw on with markers, pencils or watercolours.

    Laminated


    Colour-printed with a shiny plastic coating that protects the surface. Resistant to splashes — simply wipe clean with a wet wipe. Note: the laminated surface doesn't absorb ink easily, so use a permanent marker or latex-based paint for drawing or colouring.

  • Hiding white edges on Laminated blocks:

    A regular inexpensive marker — the kind kids use — works perfectly. No exact colour match needed, just a similar tone. The laminated surface won't absorb the marker, so any mistakes wipe off cleanly. The colour soaks only into the cut edge, hiding the white in seconds.

  • COLOR SPLASH — CONTROLLED CHAOS

    Splash, drip, and let the paint move.

    Colors bleed, mix, and blur as you tilt or press the paper.

    The 250g paper is thick enough to absorb the paint without falling apart — each block captures a unique moment of movement.

    Splashing is fun.

    Cleaning afterward… less so.

  • COLOR SPRAY — METALLIC & SOLID FINISHES

    Spray paint allows fast, even coverage and strong surface character.

    Metallic finishes like gold, bronze, or copper give the blocks a reflective, architectural feel.

    Solid colors create clean, uniform surfaces with subtle texture.

    DECOUPAGE — TEXTURE & PATTERN

    Layer thin paper, prints, or textures onto the surface.

    This technique adds visual depth and tactile detail that changes with light and viewing angle.
