Chicken Jockey (Minecraft Movie)

DIY time is about 60 minutes

  • No-sew

No Minecraft Movie costume would be complete without a Jack Black voice CHICKEN JOCKEY!

Materials

Tools

  • Scissors 

  • Hot glue gun

  • Sewing machine (optional)

Instructions

  • Start with a green long sleeve top, blue short sleeve top, and yellow bottoms as the base.

  • For the chicken start with sheets of thick craft foam and hot glue. Create a five sided rectangular box with an open bottom for the chicken’s body. On the top side of the box, cut a hole toward one side for the child’s waist. Then create another smaller five sided cube with thick foam and hot glue. Attach this to the larger box with some hang over on the front edge for the chicken’s head. Cover the whole thing using fuzzy white fabric and attach it to the foam using hot glue.

  • Cut two squares and three rectangles from yellow craft foam to create the beak. Attach the beak to the chicken’s head using hot glue. Cut a red strip of felt for the wattle and attach to the underside of the beak with hot glue.

  • For the chicken’s feet cut two more squares and 6 rectangle pieces of yellow craft foam. Hot glue 3 of the rectangles along the edge of the square to form the chicken’s foot. Repeat for the other foot.

  • For the Zombie’s head, sew or hot glue pieces of stiff green felt to form a cube slightly larger than the child’s head. Cut a hole in one side of the cube to fit their head through. Cut eye, nose, and mouth holes. Add pieces of green peel and stick felt for the ears, brow, and other facial features. Attach a piece of black fur to the top for the zombie’s hair.

  • For the zombie’s feet, cut shoe soles from thick brown craft foam. Form the top of the shoe using thin brown craft foam. Taking a smaller pair of gray bottoms, stuff using stuffing. Attach the shoes to the legs of the pants and fold the top of the pants into the waist hole of the chicken.
