Minecraft designs for HAMA beads

Hello there. It’s half term here and I have been trying to find things for my two boys to do. They are minecraft mad at the moment.

My boys do very little crafting nowadays (they are more interested in science related things and wrestling!). However, they have spent ages this week making minecraft keyrings with HAMA beads.

I couldn’t see many minecraft design sheets on the internet so I’ve put a few together (pdf’s at the foot of the post). You simply print them out and then get crafting.

If you don’t have any HAMA beads in the house then you can do some papercrafting instead and have a go at making some paper mosaics.

If you go down the paper mosaic route then you will need to cut out lots of paper squares that measure 1cm x 1cm. Then all you do is stick them onto a grid (grid available at foot of post!).

Sorry there are no photos of our finished products. Time is too short this week (grrr!).

  1. Hi!!
    I’m not a minecraft entusiast… BUT, I do have a Sonic, the hedgehog ‘minecraft’ HAMA beads!!
    Maybe you could share some with other characters… Super Mario, for example!
    Great idea! 🙂

  2. I am organising a beaver sleepover with a minecraft theme and i think these will be perfect for our craft activity. We are going to do mosaics. Thanks. So much

  3. Hi Kate. Thank you so much for sharing. My son is turning 9 and we are surprising him with a minecraft party theme. As you mentioned, older boys seem to craft less. I saw images of “necklaces” with the axe etc and thought these would be cool enough to get the kids creating. My only concern: never heard of these beads and never used them. Help!!!! What tools do I need for 10 boys? I’m in ottawa Canada so figure I can find most stuff at a dollar store? Do u need special iron paper or is wax paper ok to use? Do you have a tutorial for DUMMIES???
    Any help is appreciated. The party is in early July.

  4. Thank you, thank you, thank you. My 8 year old daughter was trying to make minecraft figures from hama beads herself and we getting frustrated. I found your sheet and it’s perfect. She is delighted and has already made 6 figures that she’s so proud of. Thank you so much for sharing it.

  5. Brilliant! Thank you – the perfect answer to one young man’s anguish – “I want to do some Art but I can’t stop thinking about Minecraft”!

  6. I see all the printables and all the PDF which I downloaded all of them but where do I get the beads and what do you do with the beads I can’t find anywhere where the instructions are on what you do with the printables could you please help me out I’m using my phone by the way maybe that could be the problem thank you in advance

  7. These are great templates. Thank you for taking the time to make them. We’re running a free tech event for kids this weekend and plan to have a Minecraft Pixel Art table, where kids can make Minecraft characters and tools using Simbrix. I hope it is OK that we print your templates and give to kids to use as a design guide.

  8. You are a wonderful woman! minecraft templates that print at scale. I have two ASD/ADHD kids who are potty about minecraft but not coordinated enough to follow a pattern. They like to follow little patterns taped under clear boards and getting them to print at scale is a total pain in the backside. Chuffed to pieces with these, thank you for taking the time to do them so beautifully!
