Finally, I'm going there...

I don't usually write about crafting. I'm just not into explaining my every move, step by step.

Plus, I just don't craft a lot.

But Second Son decided he wanted a Minecraft-themed birthday party, so my online search began...

As soon as I started, I faltered. I quickly discovered a void in the vast online world with which we all deal. That black hole of no real answers, even on Google, revolves around free printables for this loveable -- if not irritating -- game/app, Minecraft. 


 As a result, I am posting my homemade printable here:

 Use it all you like FOR FREE!

It includes 2-inch and 1-inch Minecraft images with black circles around images. 

I originally made this in a Publisher file and then converted to .pdf, and I graciously borrowed every image.  It just took me some time. Now, I'll just dig out my circle-cutters from my old scrapbooking days, and I'll have cupcake toppers, as well as images for the bottle cap necklaces we are making for party favors. 

Apparently, party favors are unavailable for this theme as well, so, at my local Hobby Lobby, I found some tiny gift bags in the official "Creeper" colors and am planning to paint the Creeper face on the bags. Some candy and our bottle cap necklaces, made with Ice Resin, and we'll be good to go.

Just in case you are wondering...

The ONLY free printables, already made and ready to go, that are currently online are HERE! The accompanying blog has some other good ideas as well. 

If you still need Minecraft party ideas and are open to NOT free, you might check out this link. There are some great Minecraft party ideas, though they all do cost a bit! 

The building-block cupcakes are another post entirely. I'll let you know how they turn out...
