How to Make a Simple Minecraft Steve Costume for Halloween

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?

Unfortunately, it's hard to actually get away from playing Minecraft to actually make a cool Minecraft costume. So, more than likely, most of you will resort to last-minute costume shopping. But it's really simple to make one, as long as you've got foam board, a cardboard box, heavyweight paper, cutting utensil, glue, and the templates.

Creating Steve's Head

Check out the video tutorial below from BeforeAndAfterTV to see how to make a Steve head. If you don't want to make a Steve head, you can always snag one off of Amazon.

Creating Pickaxes & Swords

The video below is for making pixelated foam replicas of pickaxes and swords. Again, if you don't want to actually DIY one, you can get one off of Amazon (see below for links).
