Minecraft Be Mine Valentine Shirt

Last year I made this Minecraft Be Mine Valentine shirt. This year that post has gotten a lot, like A LOT of traffic. I have gotten a lot of emails asking for the image.

Unfortunately, last year I didn't have an image to give because when I made it making the image was kind of a hodgepodge of techniques. Since I have received SO many emails asking for this image I decided I probably should make one to give out.

SO here you all go...

the Creeper Be Mine Valentine shirt image.

To save the image to your computer, just right click and save the image. You can enlarge and manipulate the image as you need. 

The one I used for my shirt is slightly different in the spacing. However, this one will but just as cool for all of those Minecraft obsessed kiddos out there.

To make it like I did you just need two different colors of heat transfer vinyl and a vinyl cutter. To paint the image on just trace the image onto freezer paper and use two different colors of fabric paint.

Hope this image helps all of those wanting to make this shirt. Any questions just leave it to me in a comment or email me.

HAPPY VALENTINE SHIRT MAKING!

Minecraft Be Mine Valentines (printable)

I have one last classroom Valentine printable to share with you before Valentine's Day.

When I made Little Man the Be Mine Minecraft T-shirt for Valentine's Day, I got quite a bit of lip. If you remember, Oldest was not happy that he got the "number sign" shirt, aka the Hashtag shirt and Middle got the "cool" Minecraft one.

In order to keep the mutiny at bay, I promised him that I would come up with a "cool" Valentine. I figured that since I made a Minecraft shirt for one I should make a set of Minecraft Valentines for the other.

Cool Valentine: Check.

Minecraft Valentine: Check.

Less Lip from Oldest: Check. Check.

I made both of the Minecraft Valentine's using PicMonkey. First I used PicMonkey to create the actual creeper face. Then I was able to use that image and use it as an overlay for my Minecraft valentine.  There are two different valentines just for kicks and giggles.

To make up the valentines all you need is--

The Minecraft Be Mine Printable (download here)
cellophane treat bags
candy

Attach the treat bag either by sewing them on or by stapling them on.

All done. All set.

A Minecraft Valentine perfect for any Minecrafter....er...player of Minecraft? You know what I am talking about.

Nothing says I love you like Minecraft, right?

My boys' classroom valentine's are officially all done and ready for 2014. Woot! Woot!

A Creeper Minecraft Birthday Party

So my older two boys are a little obsessed with the game Minecraft.

Are you familiar with it? And by familiar with it, I mean you have heard the name, seen some weird blockhead type characters, and are vaguely aware there is building involved.

Other than that, yeah, I have no clue what this little game is all about.

So when Middle asked me to throw a Minecraft party, I was a little worried. I was also more than a little lost and WAY over my head.

So what does one do when they are lost, you hug a tree.

AKA you cling on to what you know for dear life.

What I know?

Minecraft has Creepers.

What are Creepers? Well that I don't know, but what I do know...

There are Creepers.

It became clear that Middle needed to have a Creeper Minecraft party.

There was a whole lot of green and black.

Creepers were everywhere.

These chair covers kind of made my day.

I downloaded a free Minecraft font. Then I used it as a stencil to create this birthday banner from felt and biased tape.

Hands down though, my very favorite part was this giant creeper face.
 

I used green, gray, and black scrapbook paper. Eight squares by eight squares. For all of you multiplication nuts...or your average fourth grader...that is 64 squares.

I spend a bit of time on that giant wall mural, but the good news is that I didn't really have to plan any games because all they wanted to do was actually play the game.

This banner was so easy and fun to make. Duck tape, paint sample cards, and vinyl.

When they weren't playing, they were eating.

 The boys made squares pizzas.

The square pizzas were followed by square Creeper cupcakes.

I continued the green theme with some green ice cream. P.S. I am officially obsessed with these teeny tiny wooden spoons.

Taking a break from the eating and Minecraft playing, we hopped on the Perler bandwagon and we made Creepers.

Ending a party is so sad. We try to make it a little less sad, by sending them home with a little bit of the party.

So even though I have no clue what Minecraft is all about, I think the party turned out pretty good.

After all, Middle had a good time and that was the goal.

Happy Birthday Middle.
