Minecraft Ghast Christmas Ornament Tutorial

Is everyone ready for more Minecraft? I know my family is. I've been searching the internet for days on Minecraft ornament ideas. We made a few out of perler beads and some out of craft foam. This time I came across the idea from our lovely youtube. People are using square clear ornaments from Michaels. Property of Cassie's Creative Crafts Well, Micheals were completely out of these ornaments and so I found a website that sells them and they are cheap. The website is called Sunshine Crafts .  This website is filled with loads of various types of crafts that would keep you browsing for hours.  Click here  to go the their website to purchase the ornament.

Minecraft Creeper Coolie Cup

Yes, more Minecraft!!!! We just can't get enough Minecraft at our house. We are constantly thinking of new items we can make. Minecraft just doesn't have many items that they sell and if they do they are so expensive! So my children and I are always looking for new crafts. I actually find myself looking for anything square and thinking to myself, "oh man, I could make a creeper out of that, or a grass block, etc." My children have me even listening to Minecraft songs! :) So I want to share another craft that we made. I bought a green coolie cup for $1 at Walmart and I have black craft foam already at home along with some glue and that is it. If you don't have black craft foam, you could use black paint or markers. This is and can be such a cheap, easy, and fun craft. I cut out the shape of a creeper face with the craft foam and glued it onto the green coolie. Here are some pictures. Property of Cassie's Creative Crafts Property of Cassie's ...

Elf On The Shelf Ideas

Here is a layout I did with my boys and our Elf on the shelf arrival, Sparkles Magical. The background is the actual letter to them from Santa. I hope you enjoy it. Sparkles wrote the boys a letter telling them that he gets into things because he either gets bored or if they aren't listening to mom and dad it makes him naughty at times and then Santa isn't happy. That really made them settle down. At least…….for now….lol Here is Sparkles relaxing on the boys entertainment center. Here he has a maker along with some goodies for the boys. The marker is evidence for the picture below. Here Sparkles put toilet paper all over our tree and then wrote "Preston and Spencer did this!" uh oh! Here, Sparkles is holding a Minecraft paper craft hostage along with chapstick in his back pack and our Castle Crasher men are prepared to fight!. The boys know he was just playing. Sparkles had fun drawing funny faces on our family pictures! When we woke up we...

DIY Minecraft Ornaments

Hello all, I want to share our Minecraft ornaments that we made with you. I both some pearler beads and my 9 year old made a Creeper face out of them by himself. Then we decided to make a grass block out of craft foam. I know there are more Minecraft lovers out there. If you are like us, you find ways to make Minecraft things out of everything! My boys live and breath Minecraft and I am starting to love it too. I wanted to share the ornaments we made and they are so easy to make. I ordered some clear glass cubed ornaments and I am waiting for them to come in the mail but in the mean time, we get creative on other ways to make ornaments. These ornaments are extremely easy to make. Both my boys made them. #minecraft #diycrafts #minecraftdiy #minecraftornaments #christmasornaments

Elf on the Shelf Has Arrived

Hello all!        Yesterday was Thanksgiving and The boys have learned what Thanksgiving is all about and why we celebrate it! We sat around the table and said what we are Thankful for and my youngest son, looks over at me and says, "I'm thankful for you mommy and my family." My heart just melted! He said he loved Thanksgiving. It really made my day!      The boys had a visitor that made their day yesterday. Sparkles Magical, is his name and the kiddos get so excited when he is around. They spent all day yesterday guarding him so that he didn't get touched and would lose his magic. My husband and I enjoy figuring out what to do next with him. Preston woke up extra early to see where he is today. This magical tradition brings joy to our family. The kids get a long better, the magic of christmas is much more "magical". When I was a child, I believed in the magic of christmas so much that I still want to believe and so I am able to give that to my ch...

Minecraft Ghast Halloween Costume

My son loves Minecraft and I am into making their costumes. This year my oldest son didn't really know what he wanted to be and so he changed his costume several times. He ended up wanting the be a Minecraft Enderman but we didn't get finished with it in time and so he put together a little mixture and still looked fantastic! My youngest son loves Minecraft and so we are making Minecraft everything! This Halloween he wanted to be a Ghast and so the journey began. To make this costume, I used things I had around the house and so this costume cost us nothing! Supplies Large size box (size is based on child) needs to be equal on all sides  (not rectangle, but more of a square/cubed). White, black, red, and grey acrylic paint White spray paint a couple different size paint brushes whatever you want to use for the Ghast's tentacles (I used exam table paper rolls) #minecraft #halloween #costumes #minecraftcostumes #crafts #DIY ...

Minecraft Creeper Pumpkin Tutorial

Ok, I finally had some time to post my how-to on carving a super cool Minecraft Creeper Pumpkin. I didn't get to take too many "in process" pictures but I think what I have will help. I think that if you don't have a general idea on how to carve a pumpkin then maybe you shouldn't follow this tutorial. :) My son absolutely LOVES Minecraft!!! I will be posting pictures soon on a how too make a Minecraft Ghast Costume for Halloween. Supplies pumpkin Creeper template (or draw your own) Carving utensils imagination Paint (if desired) Instructions 1. I cut out a template I made and then taped it onto the pumpkin so that I could trace it lightly onto the pumpkin. 2. Then I cut out the top to make a lid. (Don't forget to save the lid so that you can place it back on the pumpkin later. 3. Take out all of the stuffing in the pumpkin and save it for later to make pumpkin pie or to plant seeds next spring!! 4. Then, start cutting out...
