I was DELIGHTED last year when in October, my son wanted to be Steve from Minecraft. You have to understand, the previous 4 years, he always wanted to be some version of Sonic, and quite frankly, I was running out of ideas on how to make another version!
I found a number of ideas on Pinterest, but this one really inspired me!

I found a bunch of boxes at work that I could use to make the body and arms. I painted them blue and let them dry. I then raided the blue and gray paint swatches at my Home Depot and I glued them randomly to the boxes, My hubby cut out the head and arm holes next,,,the final step was finishing all of the edges with black duct tape.
My son already owned the Steve head and the diamond sword, so the costume was complete! All he needed was jeans and a light blue shirt.
He turned out to be a pretty cool Steve and got a TON of compliments!
