Minecraft Steve Costume

This costume is for my son who is 7. He wanted to be the character from Minecraft. I made the shapes from cardboard then covered it with white paper. Next I measured out squares and randomly painted squares to mimick the texture from the character. I covered the entire thing with clear packing tape. I added 3/4" pvc in the arms for him to hold so that the arms wouldn't slide off and padding around the neck hole for comfort. The head is attached with velco to keep from falling off. I also built a stand for it when ever he isn't wearing it.
