Glue the purple eyes onto the box along either edge wherever it looks best on your mask. In our case, we lined them up with the eye holes made in our mask. I then enlarged the holes, even more, to line the eye holes up with the top and bottom of the purple eyes. You may notice that in the photos of the finished costume that the size of the mask is smaller and the eyes are placed slightly differently. When my son was smaller, we had done the costume differently. We also tried making a hole in the foam behind the eyes for single LEDs with batteries to light up the eyes. This year we simplified! Putting the enderman costume together Print out the file for the enderman eyes onto waterproof photo paper that is 10×15 centimeters (4×6 inches). Cut off the excess white areas and then cut what’s left in half across the purple stripes. (You want all 3 bands on each section.) Cut each section in half again. (You now have 2 sets of eyes. You only need one, but have an extra one just in case.) Continue in the same manner, adding on the other 2 rectangle pieces until you’ve formed a square box with an open bottom. Adding the headband If you don’t have a printer, you can use two different shades of purple craft paint to paint the eyes on instead!

Enlarge the holes into rectangular eye holes that are large enough to give good visibility. (You may want to wait to completely enlarge them until after adding the creepy eyes!) Adding the eerie enderman eyes First, if your box still has flaps, remove them, but save the scraps. You can use these to make an inner ring to position the box on the kid’s head and keep it from wiggling around. See the Creeper post for details if you need pointers.Add a strip of translucent fabric to the eye hole so you can’t see the kid’s face. (We tried this for a while, but Mitch didn’t like it.) Then, have the person try on the mask again to make sure the holes are in the right place for them to see out of them. Make a note of which direction you should enlarge the holes to make them easier to see out of. For the last piece of craft foam, cut a long strip of craft foam that is 9 centimeters wide. (Measure from the top of the head of the person who will wear the costume to the point just above their eyebrows for a more exact measurement. In the case of my son, it was 9 centimeters.) Wrap the strip around their head and cut it to a length just past where the circle overlaps (leaving room to glue the pieces together).

Creepers can be a nuisance, but bumping into Enderman? Woo! You'd better make sure you don't look one in the eyes, or they might just teleport right next to you and get you! They're one of the most dangerous mobs in Minecraft when provoked... and it makes them one of the most popular baddies in the game. It's also why most kids want to dress up like an Enderman when they wear a Minecraft costume! This version of the character helps your child bring the character into real life! Product Details Once cooled, have the person try on the head mask and see if it fits comfortably. Make adjustments as needed before completely gluing the strip in place. If it looks good, run a line of hot glue along the seam to reinforce the band. Cut eye holes To get an idea of where the eyes will be,have the person try on the headpiece and press against their eyes. Mark the eye area with a piece of chalk. Make sure the marks are centered across the width of the front of the box. If they are off-center, move both marks as needed to center them (keeping the same amount of space between them). Begin with the square piece and one of the craft foam rectangles. Dispense some of the hot glue along one of the edges of the square and then place the edge of the rectangle perpendicularly into the hot glue. Make sure to use the side that’s 30 centimeters long and line up the edges on either side with the square piece. The idea is to form one side of a “box”. It may be easiest to work in small sections, dispensing about ten centimeters of glue, pushing the craft foam in place, and then continuing until the whole side has been attached.Cut out a small circle in the marked spot for each eye. This is only the initial cut, so keep it relatively small. Before completely cutting out the rectangle, you may want to print out the enderman eyes. This will allow you to line up your cuts with the glued-on enderman eyes for a more professional-looking finish. The first time my son wore this costume, I hand-sewed the lights in place onto his pants. Not only did it take me longer than I would have liked, but a lot of the stitches broke as he ran around the town on Halloween. It got progressively more difficult to keep them in place.
