I like to make things out of plastic canvas. I'm hoping to get good enough to sell what I make. I've made Transformers, Daleks, and even gaming dice, all in 3D. I just finished my latest project and was trying to figure out what my next one would be.
I started wondering if a plastic canvas dice tower would be something people would buy. The outside would have different patterns on it - like the Tardis from Doctor Who, or the Autobot/Decepticon symbols. Stuff like that. Maybe even just stripes and zigzags of colors.
So, would something like that by a thing that would sell?
I imagine it would. Though I'm not sure what the legal complications of using images and designs from such properties in a for-sale product would be.
It wouldn't be too much different than all the people who sell prints of fanart and similar merchandise at conventions, I assume. Just a week ago, I bought a Pokemon keychain from one.
I got my tower prototype put together and it works perfectly. I didn't bother filling in the sides with yarn since I wanted to make sure it would work before putting in all the effort. Now that I know it does, I'm going to take it apart and fill it all in. I have to take it apart anyway since I sewed a platform in crooked and I want to write down exactly what square it should go in for future towers.
What the duece is a dice tower.
And can't I just convert the tower I'm building in my garden to having a bucket of dice to dump on the opposition rather than hot oil, wouldn't that be the same thing?
Also, what the f@&& is plastic canvas. :-D
Whatever they are, enjoy your craftiness, sounds fun! :-)
Assuming they can withstand a siege I'm game!

Like painting 8"x8" CMUs/cinderblocks as dice and dropping them on the opposition? Sweeeeeeeeet.
Just gotta make a tray to catch the dice. I didn't make that part for the prototype.
