You can’t see it in the photo, but I basically just wrapped strips of packing tape around the pieces you can see in the photo, that way the tape wouldn’t be visible. I used packing tape to tape the sleeve to the body. Turns out, I needed to cut them all the way to the bottom (see photo): I held the sleeves up to the body, and traced the arm cut outs from the holes in the body, and cut them out. I used both ends of the box for the two sleeves. Next, I had a long skinny box I was able to cut the “shirt sleeves” out of. We cut a couple of holes for the arms and head, and then Corey tried it on. This seemed to fit eleven-year-old Corey perfectly □ The box for the body was a bit too thick, so I cut and folded and taped until I had forced the box to be 14 inches wide (shoulders) by 12 inches deep, by 22 inches tall. The one for the head was 12 inches by 12 inches by 12 inches… the perfect size. We started with 2 boxes, that luckily, I had in the garage. I wanted to get this post up, so you’ll still have a bit of time to make your own Steve before Halloween. So we aren’t quite done with the costume yet, but close enough to give you the basic idea. At the bottom of the post, I’ll put pictures of some of Corey’s homemade costumes of the past, but for now, If you want to make your own Steve Halloween Costume… Here’s Steve! I’m super happy Corey decided to be Steve this year, because we always make his costumes, and Steve is basically a few boxes… Not too bad. If you’re not familiar with Minecraft, then you probably don’t need to be reading this blog post □īut, if you want to check it out anyway, Steve is the one between the pig and the sheep. So this year, Corey decided he wanted to be Steve from the game Minecraft. By the way, don’t forget to check out my books for the 9 to 13 year olds out there! Click the covers for more information.
