Okay, a little tip of the hat to the Grammar Police. No such word as DICES like no such word as MICES. That said, what a clever gift idea for your favorite rocker! I can think of several people in my life who would get a real kick out of these. My husband is a magician and frequently does tricks with die, so I may make him a set, too.

My oldest brother sported a set of fuzzy dice from the rear view mirror of his first car. I think they were purple. This project brought back that memory. We are not kids anymore and this would be the perfect gag gift as I have not seen dice hanging for quite some time.

I have been looking for a pattern like this to make for my son's car! I want to use eyelash yarn (fuzzy dice). I am not sure I want to use styrofoam blocks for the inside of the dice though. Does anyone have any suggestions for another way to have the dice hold their shape? Simply stuffing them would make them somewhat rounded.

Hmm, I cannot think of another way to firmly fill these car dice, so I am going to suggest another way around that dilemma. Maybe look at adding the structure to the crochet side of the dice by slipping color matching pipe cleaners down all the sides? Personally I think the styrofoam is perfect.
