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! I've found that one of the keys to making a great costume is to have it scaled correctly. I've seen lots of pictures of Minecraft costumes where the head is too small compared to the body, or the arms are too large compared to the body and head. These were most likely made with pre-existing cardboard boxes. To make ours truly to scale, we were going to need to make our own boxes. And to do that required a complete set of dimensions. Grab a square box that fits you or your child’s head. Print the base file, and apply it to all but the front side of the box. Print the face file and apply it to the front of the box. Cut out eye holes (choose one of the squares if you want it to be covert) and Voila! A creeper head costume! Wear all green and you are good to go. Perfect for the game-minded person in your life!

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. you may have just saved my sanity! We’ve been looking all over for printable minecraft costumes!! Thank you thank you!! Thank you so much for the wonderful graphics you created that are ready to print! It worked out perfectly on 11×17 paper. We have a very happy 6 year old, feeling ready for Halloween! 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. 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.Rub the lamp and a genie just might appear! Well, maybe not but your little guy will look adorable as Aladdin this Halloween. This project does take some time to do BUT it is really easy and it’s something you can your kids can do together. 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? 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 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! 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! So, I like Minecraft. You might has guessed as much after my DIY Creeper Peeps and Minecraft World Building Marshmallows. So it may not come as a surprise to you that one of our ideas for Halloween this year is to dress up like Steve (the player character) and a Creeper! 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!reddish brown (I see that I used red so I must not have been able to find reddish brown at Michaels) 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. Pika pika pikachu! Your little one will be hard to catch in this Pikachu costume made from a hoodie!

I’m SO GLAD Lisa! Honestly, it is a GREAT costume for very minimal effort. A total parenting win in my book! About: A mechanical engineer by training, but often seek out fun projects at home to satisfy my need to create stuff. I love halloween, cardboard projects, and attempting to teach my kids that making stuff is much mo…

hi there trying to make my son a last minute halloween costume. there isnt a link for the steve printable. unless im missing it completely? For people going BIG who need the full size, a copy shop with poster prints would definitely be the way to go! Wish you had a Minecraft Alex printable–my daughter wants to be that for Halloween this year and we are having a hard time finding.
