This too had flanges that were used for gluing to the body section. A square shaped hole was later cut into this end cap to allow my son's head to fit through.
Arm holes then need to be added on the side surfaces. Make these oversized to facilitate the process of putting the costume on and taking it off.
Tip: score the cardboard before bending to allow for much cleaner folds. The head, which is essentially a cube, was constructed three separate pieces. The first piece makes up the top of the head and three sides. The three sides fold down from the top surface, which starts to make up the shape of the cube. The edges are secured together with cardboard angles and liquid nails. Sheet metal screws are again used to hold everything together while the glue dries.
The fourth side surface is added and again attached with cardboard angles. If my cardboard sheet were large enough, I would have made this just fold down from the top surface. Lastly, the bottom surface needs to be added. It has a square hole for a head to poke through. This is attached with cardboard angles. The arms are essentially rectangular boxes that are capped on one end. Measure, cut and fold your cardboard to form the box section. The cap piece is made from a flat piece with two flanges.
We experimented with some different ways to configure the end where your arm fits into and found the most comfortable design was to leave that end open and add a large "D" shaped cutout. A round hole was then added at the "hand" end to allow for holding a pickaxe or sword. The first step is to make your skins. As previously mentioned, we used a high resolution papercraft template as the sorce image for our Minecraft Steve. It took some time to find one that had a high enough resolution to not lose its definition when blown up to 18x its size.
Once you settle on your image, open it in Photoshop. Next open up a blank Photoshop file and set the canvas size to exactly match the dimensions of your surface of interest on the costume. For instance, each side of our head measured Back in the papercraft image, select the surface you wish to enlarge and paste it in the new canvas. Perform a free-transform to stretch it to completely fill the canvas.
The file can then be saved to a. I have attached my. Keep in mind, these were sized to fit a 10 year old. They are of a high resolution, so you could stretch them to whatever scale you need. The file can then be opened in Adobe and printed to a color printer.
You will have to trim the resulting prints and tape them together. The easiest way to trim the prints is with a sharp Exacto knife and a straight edge.
Before attaching your skins, tape all exposed seams on the cardboard with masking tape. This smoothes the transitions and covers the cut edges. Use 3M spray adhesive to attach the skins to your cardboard. Again tape all of the exposed seams - but do so with scotch tape this time so that is not noticeable. As much as I love the 3M adhesive, it does tend to peel back at the edges over time.
The tape prevents this. With the heavy construction done, its time for some final details Velcro the head: The head, which ends up being pretty large relative to the body, needs to be secured in place to prevent it from inadvertently flopping off. We used some strips of 2" Velcro and Gorilla glued them to the body and underside of the head. Eye-hole: Next, cut a hole in the head so that the wearer can see out of it. We cut along the pixel borders to keep it as clean as possible.
Hand grips: Since the costume arm is much larger than the wearer's arm, we needed to add a feature that could be grabbed with your hand to keep the arm from falling off.
We cut a U shape piece of styrofoam and glued it near the circular hole with liquid nails. This worked really well, and allows for maximum flexibility when defending yourself against creepers or mining for cobblestone.
