Steve Minecraft Costume, Halloween Costumes For Boys Available In Sizes S, M and L

Product Information

For years we have been trying to convince our kids that Halloween is all about making your costumes, not buying them. Sadly, this has fallen on deaf ears year after year after year. Our vision of what would be awesome and their vision of what would be awesome has never aligned... until now! Thank you Minecraft! Arch-nemesis: Does your Minecraft Steve need a motral enemy? Build a Creeper Costume --> https://www.instructables.com/id/Telescoping-Minecraft-Creeper-Costume/ The printable is designed so that you can cut it out and “tile” it (laying each copy slightly over the next to make a finished piece) so I’d recommend maybe 11x17in paper, but print several sheets and then cut/glue them on to the box until it is covered. Hope that helps! Before attaching your skins, tape all exposed seams on the cardboard with masking tape. This smoothes the transitions and covers the cut edges. Before I get into this I feel compelled to apologize. When I made this for my son I had no idea I would end up putting on my blog so I didn’t take any pictures for a tutorial. I didn’t even take great photos of the head itself. Trust me when I say this is really easy to put together…even without step by step pictures.

Painting Steve's body is pretty straight forward. I spray painted the legs (royal blue) and torso and sleeves (teal) to save time and effort. To paint just the sleeves and not the whole arms, I taped a piece of newspaper over the arm leaving the flesh part covered. When those parts dried, I painted the flesh color on the arms and set to work on the head. My son was so into Minecraft that he carved a Minecraft themed pumpkin. My daughter, Gretl from “Sound of Music” was not too sure about it… This project does take some time to do BUT it is really easy and it’s something you can your kids can do together.The box was 16x16x16 and since there were eight squares across and down pictured I knew my squares would have to be 2×2. With my paper cutter ready to go I spent the next hour or so cutting up a bunch of squares.

reddish brown (I see that I used red so I must not have been able to find reddish brown at Michaels) The problem with Minecraft Steve is that there really aren't any action figures to measure (at least not in my house). There are, however, hundreds of papercraft templates out there on the web. Step one is to search for a high resolution template. This will give you every dimension you will need for every component to the body. It will also serve to provide the 'skins' for your boxes... but more about that later.

HI! im trying to make a steve shirt for my 7 year old using the steve printout and a box. what size paper should i use at kinkos so that i can cover the box? poster size?

Hi! I’ve done this steve head before a few years ago for my nephew, and now my son wants to be creeper head. I think on the steve head I did like a 14x14x14 box, and it left a little overlap on each side so everything went together good. This year I think Im gonna do maybe a 11x11x11 for my kiddo. What size should I print the file to make it overlaps each side? Im printing it at fedex so I dont have to ‘ piece ‘ them together. Thanks so much! Paint - I used 2 cans of Spray Paint from Home Depot for the royal blue pants and teal shirt. I also bought a handful of Acrylic paints in white/tan/beige/flesh from Hobby Lobby for the head. Get a bigger bottle of dark brown for the hair. The fourth side surface is added and again attached with cardboard angles. If my cardboard sheet were large enough, I would have made this just fold down from the top surface. Want the Minecraft Steve Head Template? Print and use it as a guide when gluing your pieces on the box.There's no doubt going to be a lot of Steves running around this Halloween, as Minecraft still has a huge community, but those posers are probably just buying their Minecraft costumes. Isn't the best part about Minecraft creating? So why let someone else create your costume?

Shoulder pads: Foam was also added under the top surface of the body to prevent the cardboard from digging into my son's shoulders. This significantly improved the comfort of the costume. The head, which is essentially a cube, was constructed three separate pieces. The first piece makes up the top of the head and three sides. The three sides fold down from the top surface, which starts to make up the shape of the cube. The edges are secured together with cardboard angles and liquid nails. Sheet metal screws are again used to hold everything together while the glue dries. For people going BIG who need the full size, a copy shop with poster prints would definitely be the way to go! thank you for posting this minecraft costume. My son’s 7th birthday theme is minecraft he love so much minecraft. This is a big help! Can I ask also if you have some printables minecraft birthday themes.You can do just about anything in Minecraft! You can explore the world, bump into interesting creatures, and build some amazing creations using nothing but your imagination. It's a true sandbox! But, then again... so is life! There's really nothing stopping you from suiting up in this Steve Minecraft Costume and heading out into the biome of your neighborhood. You can meet some interesting critters, building something of your own, and maybe even run into a Creeper or two! Additionally, if you want to be a little more authentic, use a rectangular box as a chest. I’ve included a texture to print and paste onto the chest box to mimic the Creeper’s chest. That’s going all out! If you have Adobe Illustrator ( free trial here), you can open the file up in it and select your size paper (making sure it corresponds to the paper size selected with your printer), then choose the "tile" option and select "imageable areas". For the head, this will print it out in 7 sheets if you're using legal sized paper. If you're using letter size, you'll need twice that. Once you settle on your image, open it in Photoshop. Next open up a blank Photoshop file and set the canvas size to exactly match the dimensions of your surface of interest on the costume. For instance, each side of our head measured 16.25 x 16.25 so we set the canvas size to that for all surfaces on the head.
