Styrofoam Nether Gate
This is a Nether portal made by cutting polystyrene foam.
Because it’s a simple build that only involves making the frame, it’s especially important to measure the block sizes accurately and to replicate the fine details of the patterns.
The obsidian blocks used for the Nether portal have a distinctive jagged texture, so use a cutter to carve those lines.
Once you’ve etched the pattern across the whole surface, paint it with an emphasis on gloss and an eerie feel.
Attach the ominous destination visible through the frame, and it’s complete.
Dollar store Minecraft block
Grass-covered dirt blocks are a common sight in the world of Minecraft! There are also plenty of others, like cobblestone and wood.
How about making different types of blocks and giving them as a gift? Drill a hole in a square wooden block and embed a small magnet.
Paint and decorate the outside, and you’re done! Since the magnet is embedded, you can stack or attach the blocks together.
It takes some effort to make, but it’s a great way to enjoy the world of Minecraft outside the game, so I highly recommend it!
Microbead Minecraft ornament
This is an easy-to-follow guide for making Minecraft characters with Perler beads.
Since you arrange beads on a pegboard using the grid as a guide, it’s also easy to create Minecraft’s symmetry.
While flat designs are the standard for Perler beads, it’s also recommended to make the sides and back in the same size and combine them to form a 3D piece.
Think of each bead as one block, and build up the design just like in Minecraft.
Felt Snow Golem
This is a mascot of the Snow Golem from Minecraft, made by combining pieces of felt.
Since it’s a character that evokes a seasonal feeling, it would also be a great fit for seasonal celebrations.
Cut the felt into identical squares with perfect right angles in mind, and assemble the character while considering left-right symmetry.
If it doesn’t hold its shape well, try layering the felt or inserting a piece of cardstock inside.
When sewing or gluing, focus on keeping the corners crisp.
Minecraft Garland
There are lots of enemy characters in the world of Minecraft, right? Creepers, zombies, Endermen—if you enjoy playing Minecraft, you probably have at least one favorite character.
So how about making a garland inspired by those characters? Garlands are great for decorating your room and can also be used as birthday decorations.
They’re easy to make with colored construction paper or felt, so they’re perfect as gifts, too!
