Lastly flip those two pieces over to reveal a flat foam surface where you will attach the (4) pie shaped pieces with spray adhesive in the corners like legs on a table. Be careful to keep adhesive out of the hole because your head rests there. Then I sprayed adhesive to the piece with the hole in it then sandwiched the two pieces together. Next I cut another square foam piece the same as the first. I then cut one of those halfs into four equal pie like pieces that will be used later as well as the remaining circle piece. I then took the round piece I just removed and cut it in half horizontally like you're separating the top and bottom of a bagel. I then cut out the circle carefully with my utility knife and removed the piece. The hole will only allow the top of the head to rest securely like and egg. Keep in mind this will be the inside top of Steve's head. First thing I did was cut a square foam piece slightly smaller than the inside of your box.

Do you think a mother bird would try to set her round baby eggs on a hard flat surface NO!!!!! So don't expect the flat box to balance on your round noggin. If you want the mask to last I personally wouldn't use this approach.Īs I mentioned in my introduction a flat surface just doesn't balance or sit stable on a moving round surface and vise versa.

This approach will be very fragile to water or pretty much anything if you chose to use it so be warned. Also you can print plain paper and then apply adhesive spray to the back then lay the panels down.

You'll have more edge seams and it'll be more prone to pealing up on the corners and edges but it will be easier to apply for beginers. Another option you could do is print or separate the panel into individual sides and apply them. After my piece was printed I laminated it so it would be more durable and resistant to water, scratches and being easily damaged. Think of it as wrapping paper with a sticky back. I printed mine on printable adhesive vinyl that way it was all one big decal that I applied. Take your file on a flash drive and tell them what you want. If you don't have access or the ability to print the panels yourself you'll need to go to Kinkos or someplace similar and have them professionally done for you. Once you have your print file prepared it's time to print it. 1' thick foam padding approx 4' wide x height (the size of your box)

Access to print your Steve skin directly or an outside source for producing You may need to adapt or adjust certain steps to complete your Steve if you don't have the same resources. Lastly I'm going to outline my steps using the equipment I have regular access to as a graphic designer in a production environment. My quick solution could definitely be modified to an actual fitted head harness or something more sturdy but for a pretty quick build I think it does the trick so long as the child/adult isn't running or wrestling wildly about…. It's a wonder I survived all my visually impaired Halloween nights to create this Instructable at all. Maybe that's trivial in the grand scheme of being Steve, but it causes safety issues and I have childhood memories of masks not fitting properly and bouncing around on my head while I valiantly tried to see out misaligned eye holes and continuously pulled the mask back to it's proper place. A flat shape just doesn't sit securely on a round object, specifically one that is moving around. The stability once the box is placed over the head. While they all have their specific technique and strengths to creating I consistently find one area lacking. I have looked at many tutorials, Instructables and store bought versions of the infamous Steve head. Hi, If you're reading this you probably have a Minecraft addicted child as I do that wants to be Steve for Halloween….
