Minecraft Stuffed Creeper Doll

Need a project for when you're away from your crafting table (computer desk)? Bring a bit of the Minecraft world into real life with a cuddly little creeper pal!

The creeper's blocky geometric shape makes this a great beginner project for people unfamiliar with sewing. Also it's your best shot at giving a creeper a hug without it costing you the north wall of your house.

Step 1: That's a very nice EVERYTHING you have there...

Tools:
     Ruler
     Erasable Marker - you can find one made especially for fabric at any craft store
     Fabric Shears - Aka big ol' pair of scissors
     Sewing needle
     Pins

Materials:
     Green Fabric (fleece is good) - About half a yard should do, go to the fabric store if you don't feel like punching sheep and cooking cacti
     Matching spool of thread
     Fiberfill - Stuffing
     Either black embroidery thread or black fabric scraps

I wanna make one

[brooklynlord]

Is it possible to stitch the head and body together with a sewing machine without having to slip stitch? Except for the back, of course...

[replay290]

DucttapeNinja can you use cotton balls to stuff the creeper?

[DucttapeNinja]

I don't see why not.

[replay290]

P.S DucttapeNinja do you play Minecraft? BTW you don't have to punch/ kill the sheep you can shear the sheep. You can dye the wool by punching cactus in the desert biome and then you put the cactus or cacti in the furnace with coal and wait,then put the wool and green dye in the crafting table and DER YOU GO :3

[DucttapeNinja]

Hehe, yeah. I made this Instructable back when Minecraft was still in beta, when you would shear sheep by punching their wool off.

[replay290]

Really, I had no trouble, everything was smooth sailing and I've been working with a plush toothless, it came out perfectly but the creeper was really easy but the seams would show and I had like an inch to sew.

[replay290]

DucttapeNinja, mah creepah turned out to be VERY MESSED UP!!! Can you help me?

[replay290]

and can I use felt, because I used felt to make my creeper.

[DucttapeNinja]

As far as I can tell that shouldn't be much of a problem. What did you have trouble with?

[spiffy956]

I found some green fleece with mixed light/dark in it. Thanks for the great instructions. This was my first time trying to hand sew and it turned out awesome.

[DucttapeNinja]

That came out perfect. Well done!

[thesagedragon]

i will be making a big one for my minecraft child. thanks.

[dosftw]

I am gonna make a giant 5 foot tall one to have around the house so my housemate and I can troll (and possibly grief...) each other with hahaha :P

[anime_grl]

so... i'm planing on making this as a present for a friend but making the head open-able so i can put cookies and stuff inside! thanks for the tut!

[AnimaMage]

I have made a creeper two years in a row for Christmas. Both recipients loved them. Thanks for the helpful outline!

[shanbear]

I just wanna say THANK YOU for your awesome tutorial!

I wanted to make my own Creeper but I have hardly sewn a stitch in my life - your steps were easy to follow and all the pictures made it even easier.

So here's my result :D

Mine was a bit smaller than yours - I used 1 pixel = 1 cm :)

[DucttapeNinja]

It's adorable! I'm glad you found the instructions helpful.

[mortier123]

One inch is 2,54 cm.

[buggainok]

Wanted to tell you I just finished making the most cutest Creeper ever, following your excellent instructions and pics. I attached the head, body and feet using velcro so that he can be an "Exploding Creeper." I'm giving him to my 8 year old grandson for his birthday. He loves to play Minecraft. I can't wait for him to see it!

Thank you so much for sharing this great tutorial!

[DaProject]

This is just awesome! I'll try to let my grandmother make me one, really thank you for the instructable ;)

[ilikefood]

I just recently know Instructables and I saw this!!!
omg! I'm making this for my crush's birthday soon...! >.<
we both loooove Minecraft...wish me luck (cos Imma tell him my feelings xD)
sssSssssShank you so much for posting this!!!!!

[DucttapeNinja]

Lucky guy. XP
Good luck to you!

[seawee65]

This is so cool! Would felt also work instead?

[DucttapeNinja]

It should. I might be a little afraid of the felt pulling apart at the stitching, though.

[Pichu47]

Because creepers love hugs :3

[the NeXT designer]

No they don't they love hugssssssssssssssssss.... :-)

*BOOM*

[lucek]

I just realized i forgot to say thanks for putting this Ible up.

I made a creeper for last years FTB secret Santa. The picks and quotes are from that site.

I was a little worried at first.

But it turns out he's a friendly sort.

I named him Richard. He dances!
(pick)
BEST. GIFT. EVER! Thank you whoever you are!"

So yeah that was thanks to you.

Oh and some advice be careful with scale. I first made a body at 1 square =1/2" and a head at 1square=1". It worked out in the end. I gave the too big head to my sis as a pillow. Scared her a couple times to makeup next to a creeper.

[lucek]

*Wake up

[mashedpotato13]

I'm sssssssatisfied...

*boom*

[rarutard]

Whisky is my Little one, who is saying me "Daaad!!, Give me legs" for 10 months


XD

[Cyclone1764]

I would make it, but i would end up setting it on fire

[creeperkeeper]

AWESOME me and my nan made this plush

[Dusk Shadows]

cute
for moving TNT

[Toadash]

just to let you know you forgot to toes on the creepers feet but it still looks great. i would have made one but i don't like sewing but a wile ago i decided to knit one because i like knitting more than sewing. if you want to look at my creeper it is in the game life 2 contest, and congratulations on winning the game life 1

[Gnara]

What were the dimensions for the eyes and mouth?
