He even had a Minecraft birthday party theme this year. So when he told me that he wanted me to help him make a Minecraft Halloween Costume, I wasn’t too surprised. But then he said he wanted to be a Villager. Um, what is a Villager?? I had to Google what a Minecraft Villager was and what it looked like. And then, I was able to create this free printable Minecraft villager head for you that makes a great DIY Minecraft costume idea for boys and girls.See also: ‘No-mess Minecraft Creeper t-shirt DIY’ »It was so cold in Chicago on Halloween that we had to wear jackets and gloves on top of our Descendants and Minecraft Halloween costumes. The Minecraft cardboard head actually kept Liam’s face and head warm. Leave it to Chicago to have snow on October 31st! What a trick!If you like this easy DIY Minecraft head costume, see my other easy DIY Halloween costumes for kids:—Download my free Minecraft Villager printable with 3D nose. There will be 5 pages to print: 1 Villager face, 2 sides, 1 top, and 1 back. Be sure to print on bright white cardstock paper for the most vibrant colors, and try to use a color laser printer if you can to minimize the chance of colors running if Halloween is a little rainy. Use your craft knife, metal ruler, and self-healing mat to trim away all the white edges. Each page has an extra strip of pixels in case you need to fill in blank slots on your cardboard box as needed.Use your purple glue stick to adhere the 5 Minecraft skins (face, back, two sides, and top) and Villager face to a cardboard box or 5 pieces of foam core or cardboard cut to be the same size as the printouts. I cut 5 pieces of black foam core the same size as the printouts. Let dry completely. Carefully cut out eye holes from the Minecraft face using a craft knife, metal ruler, and self-healing mat. Then made a cube by gluing the sides of the Minecraft head together using strong glue or a glue gun and glue sticks. Let the Minecraft costume dry completely.Here are the finished dimensions that I used to make my son’s Minecraft head for his Halloween costume:front side: 9″ tall x 8″ wideback side: 9″ tall x 8″ wideright side: 9″ tall x 9-3/8″ wideleft side: 9″ tall x 9-3/8″ widetop: 9-3/8″ wide x 9″ wideYes, I realize that this isn’t actually a square block. Not very Minecraft of me, is it? Ha! 😀 I think we must have made it that way to make room for my son’s nose? I don’t totally remember. But trust me, no one will notice that it’s not a square block!I recommend testing these dimensions out on your child first before you cut the foam core, and if you need to adjust the size then you can print out some extra sheets of my pixels, cut some rows out, and glue them onto the foam core to extend the size to fit your child.Glue the Minecraft villager’s nose pieces onto cut pieces of cardboard or black foam core using a purple glue stick and let dry completely. Then glue the pieces into a 3D nose using strong glue or glue gun and glue sticks, and let dry completely. Once dry, glue the nose onto the Minecraft villager face.I forgot to take a photo of this step, but we added a little pillow stuffing to the inside of the head, just enough to position the mask properly on Liam’s head so that he could see out of the eye holes. It also made the Minecraft cardboard head comfortable for him to wear when trick-or-treating. You can permanently glue in the pillow stuffing but we didn’t and his cardboard head stayed put just fine at his school’s Halloween party.++++++And be sure to see more easy DIY Halloween costumes for boys and girls plus spooky Halloween crafts.++++++Like it?
