[Crafts] Perfect for birthdays! Minecraft DIY decoration ideas (11–20)
Felt Creeper
This craft project uses felt to assemble a Creeper, one of Minecraft’s most iconic characters.
Larger sizes can be hard to make stand, so I recommend making it as a cute, palm-sized mascot.
The key is to carefully measure each face and cut the felt accordingly; precise dimensions help convey the character’s inorganic feel.
It’s also important to keep the left and right sides perfectly symmetrical and to join the pieces in a way that keeps the corners from becoming rounded.
Minecraft balloon
This is a craft project where you start with a balloon and attach facial features inspired by Minecraft characters.
Focus on how various things are represented using combinations of squares, and add expressions with masking tape or vinyl tape.
Making the face clearly symmetrical and using simple lines will help convey the Minecraft look.
You can also cut the tape into perfect squares and arrange them to create a Minecraft-like feel.
LEGO Steve
LEGO, the toy where you combine plastic blocks to play—it’s so famous that hardly anyone doesn’t know it.
How about recreating the world of Minecraft using those bricks? For example, you can relatively easily make Steve yourself.
Or you could buy one of the sets that are sold.
Either way, I hope you’ll enjoy the unique fun of LEGO that comes from building with your own hands.
By the way, the lineup of sets is quite extensive.
Cardboard Diamond Axe
In the world of Minecraft, wood is an essential item! So when you find a tree, you’ll chop it down—and that’s where the axe comes in.
Axes can be made from various materials like wood, stone, and iron, but I think many kids really want a diamond axe! It looks cool, and it’s durable and cuts wood fast.
So why not make a diamond axe as a birthday present? Use cardboard for the base, and colored construction paper or colored tape for the colored parts—easy! Be sure to make it a size that your child can hold and play with.
Felt turtle
Sea turtles on the sandy beach are creatures many people go looking for, since you can craft a turtle shell that lets you breathe underwater using the turtle scutes they drop.
Kids might simply want to see sea turtles because they love them.
So why not try making a turtle doll out of felt? Small ones can be held, played with, or displayed, and larger ones might even work as cushions! Felt is sold at 100-yen shops, so try making one and giving it as a gift.
