DIY Minecraft Lunch Bag
Do you have a child who loves everything Minecraft but can’t seem to find a Minecraft lunch bag?
Wendy is joining us today with a great idea for a DIY Minecraft Lunch Bag that you can make for under $10! Your child will be the hit of the lunchroom with this.Â
My kids have gotten into Minecraft in a big way. It seems like all of the kids nowadays love it.
We are getting ready to go back to school now and my daughter announced that she wanted a Minecraft lunchbox.
Alright.
Given the popularity, you’d think that’d be easy.
Nope.
Evidently, she is the first kid in the United States who had this idea. Not one to be discouraged, I decided to create one for her, and I’m pleased with how it turned out.
How to Create a DIY Minecraft Lunch Bag
I didn’t want to deal with sewing something like this (I HATE sewing zippers), I went to the local Wal-Mart. In the sporting goods department, I found a soft side soda cooler. It says it has a four can capacity. $4.97. I bought a couple containers of acrylic paint- two shades of green (I have white and a black at home, so I could create slightly lighter or darker shades).
Painting the Creeper– I mixed some white or black paint with the greens I bought to give more color variation, but still have overall tone family match. Â Then, I painted each square a different shade of green. The nice thing about the pixelated Creeper is that there’s no particular pattern or order.
Once everything dried, I coated everything with a couple layers of Mod Podge (you can grab some mod Podge here)Â to give the paint a bit of protection. Kids can be rough on their lunch boxes and I didn’t want the paint flaking off after a month or two.
