DIY Diamond Minecraft Pickaxe: Crafting Out of Cardboard

Introduction Welcome back to Mark's Universe! In this new video, we will be crafting something special out of cardboard - a diamond Minecraft pickaxe. Many of you have requested this project, and today we will bring it to life. If you've been waiting for a new crafting video or have been a long-time viewer of my previous crafting projects, I'd love to hear from you! So let's get started and create something amazing together.

Materials Needed for the DIY Project To begin this DIY project, gather the following materials:

• Cardboard (preferably from cereal boxes)
• Scissors
• Pencil
• Ruler
• Crafting glue
• Black paint and brushes
• Printed pickaxe design

Cutting the Cardboard Start by cutting out the cereal boxes and separating the larger pieces from the sides. Cereal boxes are a great choice for crafting as they are free and readily available. Once you have the pieces, you can begin crafting the pickaxe.

Printing and Pasting the Pickaxe Design Print out the pickaxe design on sticker paper or regular paper. Cut out the design and paste it onto the larger pieces of cardboard. Use a ruler to ensure that there are no air bubbles or folds in the sticker. Although I glued the paper before sticking the design, it's better to stick the paper after gluing for a smoother finish.

Creating Strips from Cereal Boxes To make the pickaxe more sturdy, cut two-centimeter strips from the sides of the cereal boxes. The length of the strips doesn't matter as they will be cut into pieces later on.

Assembling and Reinforcing the Pickaxe Now, it's time to start pasting the strips onto the pickaxe. This step requires time and precision as you want to ensure that the strips are securely attached and won't easily break. This reinforcement process will strengthen the pickaxe, making it more durable.

Attaching the Other Half of the Pickaxe Once the glue has dried and the strips are firmly attached, it's time to paste the other half of the pickaxe on top. Check all corners to ensure a secure bond between the pieces.

Painting the Sides of the Pickaxe To give the pickaxe a finished look, it's time to paint the sides. Apply black paint in two layers, allowing each layer to dry before proceeding. This will cover the cardboard and give a smooth appearance to your pickaxe.

Final Result and Comparison After painting, you will have a completed diamond Minecraft pickaxe. Take a moment to compare it to the original design. The sticker may appear slightly lighter than the actual diamond pickaxe, and there might be some visible glue due to the order in which I applied the sticker. Nevertheless, the pickaxe remains strong and functional.
