My kiddo decided he wanted to be Steve for Halloween. The Minecraft: Steve Cardboard Head
But what about the sword and pickaxe?
My kiddo wanted not just any sword and pickaxe, only the diamond versions. (Something about invincibility? I can't keep up with all the Mineraft lore.)

- Cut out around (roughly, you don't need to be precise now) one copy of each so they will fit onto the foam board. Lay out the three pieces of the sword together. Spray each piece of newspaper with spray adhesive or smear with glue stick (making sure you glue well effectually all edges. Rearrange onto board, polish, and press to ensure a expert bond.
- Now it's time to cut it out. Again, I roughly cutting out each item so it was easier to work with. Using a utility knife or razor and a straight border, cut out each piece. The knife must become cleanly through the cream, so don't do it on top of your dining room table–garage floors piece of work slap-up. Make sure yous press firmly and then the foam cuts evenly.
- In one case the pickaxe and/or sword are cut out, you demand to cut out the other paper re-create. (I had my son practice his scissor work while I worked on the previous parts). Spray with agglutinative/smear with glue and align on blank side of each piece. Smooth to remove whatsoever wrinkles.
- That'south it. You lot're done!
