Let’s talk about the splash proof Gameband + Minecraft feature and I’ll even make you a fun Creeper sack!
Is your house a hotbed for Minecraft lovers? Mine still certainly is! My son played it all summer long, especially since we got him the splash proof Gameband + Minecraft for Christmas last year. It was literally all the rage, so much so, that it was selling out everywhere. I was really fortunate to have found one.
Jr. wore his Gameband all the time, since he wanted to have it {and all of his Minecraft worlds} with him wherever he went. Now that he’s back in school, he still insists on wearing it. Which is fine, however, living here in Southern Arizona, we have what’s called monsoon, which is a rainy season. It wasn’t quite over when school started up again, so I was concerned about his Gameband getting wet.
Jr walks to and from the bus stop each morning/afternoon, not to mention the passing period, the time the students are given to walk to their next class. Even though there are covered walkways, there are times they end up in the rain.The good news is that the Gameband is totally splash proof. Now, whenever it rains, whether from the remnants of monsoon or from the coming winter storms, I’ve nothing to fear.
While the splash proof Gameband + Minecraft could most likely withstand being worn in the shower, i certainly do not recommend it. In fact, let’s just say you’re sure to ruin it in the shower, okay?
With the start of school, I thought it would be fun to make a pouch that Jr could use to store his gym clothes when he brings them home to be washed once a week. No sense in letting all that ‘stink’ stick to his books and folders. To make this Creeper cinch sack, I followed the basic directions for this backpack. I made a few adjustments to turn it into a sack.
When you are ready to add your cord, you can choose to use ribbon like I did. I used a 20″ long piece of black grosgrain ribbon and then threaded it through the top of the bag in the same manner. Once the ribbon was threaded through, I knotted both ends together so that they wouldn’t come out.
For the Creeper design, I used the square tool in my Silhouette Studio to design it {you can download my free cut file here} I then cut it out with my Silhouette using their smooth heat transfer material in black. You could just as easily print an image of the Creeper face and trace it as shown in the backpack tutorial. Either way, it makes a pretty adorable sack!
