How to Build a Minecraft Creeper

I will show you how to build your very own beloved creeper from Minecraft, using Perler Beads.

Step 1: Setting Up

You will need to have the following items to make your creeper.

* Perler beads
* Square bead board
* Ironing paper
* An Iron
* Green coated paperclips
* Wire cutters
* Pliers

I would recommend sorting through your beads, and counting them out first. The creeper will require 896 beads; 52 being black. Sorting them first will speed up the whole process.

That is a site where I get all my beads. I just buy the 22k bucket and sort them myself, but if you don't have the patience then you can always buy them presorted in every color they have.

[444fox]

Awsome I love it I neeeeeeeaaaaad to make one.

[sstulpa]

Done and done! Brilliant!!

[kapaulsen]

Great Instructable. It took me a few hours to sort the beads and another few hours to place and iron them. Easy but time consuming. Thanks!

[Hatilicus]

Baahahahah. I'm gonna run to my grammas house and grab all the perler beads i got-- im doing it with the 52 blacks, 211 white 211 green 211 flourescent green and 211 transparent green. I'm then gonna put this on my desk and make the plushie, then make sonic shoes and a pig hat and a creeper T-Shirt and be done with it c:

[scistone]

Im gonna make the plushie too! I already finished the Perler one today.

[LeviathanChuAn]

I really love the idea!
I just can't fathom what made you decide to do an interlocking design. By nature, pearler beads don't really support interlocking. After melting, the beads become larger and the gaps smaller, and it's nearly impossible to get an even press across one board. I just filled in all the gaps along edges and glued the whole thing up with a hot glue gun when I was done. It looks great, I just wish I'd done a better job on the head (I made it a good row or two too big.) I'd redo it, but sorting those freaking beads drives me up the wall.

[scistone]

Mine woorked perfectly. Im done

[scistone]

I'm still gonna try it, but don't tell me if it's hard, I've never used them and this may be my first (mabe I'll do a practice one). :P

[sbrown]

You're ironing them too much if you're having trouble interlocking them.

They don't need to be ironed extensively, especially when 3d, because you have 6 sides forming a rigid structure

[FrankenPC]

Being a serious Minecraft junkie, I thank you!

I may actually try this. I'm usually not the "crafty" type.

[lhakala]

kinda ironic that u are not the "crafty" type even if u play minecraft

[hintss]

?

[JakeTobak]

Same here. If only I weren't so lazy...

[scistone]

AWESOME! I'm thinking of something... I'll tell you what when I've published it.
:D

[smilee]

Ssssssss....... BOOM!

[NatNoBrains]

Just made the head, kinda failed, I'll be trying again sometime (...) In the UK they are called Hamma Beads.

[reubyjay]

i wanna put a fire cracker in one just to test it for realism

[tomm0505]

:D

[Rybka30]

I wanna mke it from paper and fill it with gunpowder HAHAHA
sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss............BOOM

[Dumchicken]

or just mix gun powder with glu mwa hahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahhaha

[Ouchimoo]

Awesome! I never even considered interlocking.

I went to the store the other day with the mindset of getting perler beads for making a 3D creeper. Couldn't find a bucket with colors I wanted though so I scrapped it... After seeing this.. I might just have to bite the bullet and get whatever they have.

[Morningshadows]

Sssssssssssssssssss.............

[bolsontanker]

awesome!

[Notbob]

-TSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

[Tape-structable]
