You’ll capture the essence of their enigmatic presence and teleportation abilities, becoming a memorable part of the Minecraft universe. He didn’t even end up wearing it trick or treating because it was so painful and pulled out one of big brothers old costumes instead.

Use your craft knife to cut straight lines down from the marks you made down to the bottom of the foam. We got a lot a mileage out of it, too, since he wore it to Boo at the Zoo, Grant’s Farm Halloween Nights AND neighborhood trick or treating! Measure from the front of your chest to the furthest point away on your back to determine how deep the armor needs to be.To hold the box comfortably in place, we’ll be adding a craft foam headband inside the top of the box. Make sure the corrugation inside the cardboard runs parallel to the strip's width, or else it won't fold easily.

If you don't have pockets, either use a black fanny pack or tape the battery pack to the pants with black duct tape. If you want to simulate a creeper exploding, then carry confetti or party poppers in your pocket so you can throw them if people get close to you. You can use these to make an inner ring to position the box on the kid’s head and keep it from wiggling around. The mask has a cube shape and has a pixelated design, just like the rest of the pieces of the costume. It took a while to hot glue all those squares to his costume, but having a soft and flexible suit that a sixyear-old boy can run around in was well worth the effort!When you put it all together, your child gets a simply designed costume that's perfect for any Minecraft player! As much fun as the Creeper was, I’m very relieved that he picked asimplermonster for this Halloween: the Enderman. It’s covered with purple tissue paper, laminated with packing tape and lit up with battery powered mini twinkle lights!

Fold the top flaps down so they make a flat and level surface before taping them together with packing tape.If you’re not familiar with Minecraft, the Enderman is a tall black creature with eery eyes who teleports around the game.

Last year I tried to have Mitch look out of the Creeper’s eyes, but it limited his visibility and he kept taking the head off. Once the squares are in place, seal the particles with a second layer of tape and cut off the excess. Cut out 2 strips of foam that are the same length as the armpit mark to the bottom edge and as wide as your chest depth.Once it’s glued to the square, you can also glue it to the rectangle perpendicularly along the short edge. Draw the details, like eyes, hair, and additional “pixel” squares around the box, or cut them out from construction paper and glue them in place. At first, I was worried about the safety pins standing out, but since the wires of the lights were already silver, the safety pins don’t really show.
