Making a GIANT MINECRAFT FLOWER in real life!

Hi my name is colleen and welcome back to my channel So today i’m gonna be trying to make a giant minecraft flower i’ve actually made two of these over on tik tok already here is one of them i love it so much so yeah if you want to see me making this and the other one

Over on tick tock just go check them out i’ll put the link down in the description box below but today i thought it would be really fun to do another one and i’d show you like the whole process and i just thought it would be really fun i’m gonna be using

These little wooden cubes these are two centimeter cubes you can get them on amazon and ebay they are my everyday i use them for everything i just think they’re so great to like construct little minecraft things but anyway today i’m gonna be trying to make the og minecraft dandelion it’s one of my

Faves it’s so cute it used to be the one that i used to collect and like put in a plant pot next to my bed when i used to play like og minecraft but anyway let’s just get started hi hans look at i’m doing a little wiggle anyway let’s just get

Started with the whole process so to begin i printed out a picture of a minecraft dandelion and i started by counting all the pixels there were 31 in total so i needed 31q these are just little wooden cubes they’re 2×2 centimeters you can get them on amazon

And ebay and i think hobbycraft do them too so once i collected my cubes i started to arrange them in the shape of a dandelion i’ve noticed since buying these cubes is that sometimes they aren’t quite perfect so sometimes i have to rotate them so that they like align properly

And eventually you’ll have something that looks a little bit like this so once i was happy with my shape i actually grabbed this super glue gel the gel is my favorite but if you’re doing this yourself i recommend using wood glue because super glue is super scary didn’t actually get my fingers stuck

Together this time but anyway i started gluing all of the cubes together one by one i actually worked in rows so i started with the bottom then i did the next one and then the next one so this step did take ages but it wasn’t so bad actually i

Actually quite enjoyed i found that the more neat i was with it the more aligned they were and the easier they are to paint later i’m still working in rows i recommend adding a little bit of glue to a cube allowing it to dry and then doing

Another but as you can see i’m almost done with all of the rows and then once the rows are completely done i start gluing the rows together on top of each other i hope that makes it recommend having your reference nearby because it’s so easy to mess up and if you mess

Up they are stuck they’re not moving but eventually the shape of my dandelion was done and i’m so happy with how it looks it looks really cute and it’s really neat so now it’s time to start painting so i went ahead and grabbed my paint and i actually marked off on my reference

Image the colors that i’m gonna be working on first i love using a reference because it really helps me keep track of what blocks i’ve done already but i started by mixing two different shades of green for the stem and i started by doing the lighter green

Shades and then i moved on to do the darker green shades once i was done with the lighter i forgot to mention that i’m using like a square shaped brush as well as acrylic paint but as you can see i painted the front of the flower first

And then i painted the side once i was done painting the sides using the light green i moved on to paint the dark green pixels which was such a nice screen i think this is like my favorite i made this color by using the green that i used for the lighter pixels but

Just added a bit of dark brown as you can see i’m just painting away this bit was so therapeutic i just love painting on wood i don’t know if you guys have ever done it but it’s so fun and so satisfying i painted the front and the sides and then it was done

While the stem was done and it looks really good i’m so happy with it next up i grabbed my yellow acrylic paint and i started painting the lighter pixels on the floor it’s actually more difficult than it seems because i couldn’t get the paint to be very opaque and easy i’m still

Doing about three coats of the light yellow paint before moving on to the darker shade eventually i was done with the lighter yellows and then i could move on to the darker yellow which was more of a like greeny yellow actually three different shades of

Yellow in the top of the flower so here i am doing the darkest color which was basically even more of the dark green color mixed into the yellow and then eventually it was done my goodness it is so cute look at it i love it so much i

Honestly just want to make more and more of these they are adorable here it is i am so happy with it i think this might be my favorite one so far it was really difficult to get like the vibrancy on the yellows maybe next time i’ll like color the block white

Beforehand but i’m so happy with it i think it’s so adorable this was only about a two hour project which i don’t think is too bad this is one of the smaller flowers so i didn’t use as many cubes but i’m just so happy with it ah

I loved making this and i hope you guys were able to like see what tools i used and how i did it okay in the video it didn’t take very long to film so i feel like it might be quite a short video so sorry if i’ve missed something

Yeah that’s pretty much it for today i hope you guys enjoyed the video i’m just so happy with them i think they’re so adorable and i just want to make more and more let me know down in the comments below if you want to see me do like another
