Minecraft's Steve Costume

My 9 year old son just loves that game Minecraft so of course he wanted to be Steve from Minecraft this year. So we bought a bunch of boxes and altered them to look like the different body parts of Steve (Head, torso & arms). This required some cutting and hot gluing. Then we cut a small piece of pvc pipe to fit inside each arm and hot glued those into place so he could hold onto to the arms to keep them in place. For the sword we made a cover out of cardboard to slide over a foam toy sword that he already had that wasn't Minecraft. After that came the tedious part of marking all the boxes with many many squares and then painting everything to look the real Minecraft Steve. To save some time I painted the shirt, paints and arms one solid color and saved all of the detail for the head.
