Directions

1. Select the character

Obviously, your child will know what he or she wants to be, but some characters are more complicated than others.

By definition, all Minecraft characters are boxy in shape, but those that are long and thin and have many appendages can be more challenging. Steve is actually quite easy. My boys wanted to be Steve and Ironman. And yes, there is a Minecraft version of almost any superhero, movie or gaming character.

IMPORTANT:

Just because I provided examples for Minecraft and Roblox characters that appeal to boys, don't think those are all you can do. You can make costumes for girls, too. You can use ANY image that you can find that's a 3D, of a skin. no matter how small it is. If it is a vector graphics on paper craft, you can scale it up or down and make it into a costume like this using exactly the same directions. Basically, your only limited by your imagination!
