Minecraft has a special way of making the ordinary feel magical. A block of dirt is never just dirt, it’s the start of an adventure.
This dresser works the same way. Simple fabric cubes are turned into pixel-art treasures, stitched with felt to look like characters from the game.
Specially, each square becomes a story waiting to unfold.
It’s more than storage, it’s an imaginative gateway, a playful reminder that organization can carry the same joy as building a world from scratch.
Materials Needed
- 6-8 collapsible cube bins (12″ × 12″ recommended)
- Felt sheets in assorted colors (black, white, red, yellow, pink, gray, green, blue, etc.)
- Fabric glue or hot glue gun
- Scissors (sharp enough for clean felt edges)
- Ruler and chalk pencil
- Square cubby shelf unit (IKEA Kallax or similar)
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Pick your Minecraft characters or blocks such as classic Steve, TNT, Enderman, or even animals like sheep and chickens.
Next, sketch them out on paper first so you know which colors of felt you’ll need.
Step 2: Measure your cube fronts and mark out pixel-style grids using your ruler and chalk. This helps you cut clean squares of felt for that blocky Minecraft look.
Step 3: Cut out each felt piece carefully. Don’t worry about perfection as Minecraft is pixelated, so straight lines are all part of the charm.
Step 4: Arrange your felt pieces on the cube face before gluing.
Once you’re happy with the layout, secure them with fabric glue or hot glue, pressing down firmly to avoid lifting edges.
Step 5: Slide the cubes back into your shelf unit, arranging them like tiles in the game.
Now you can step back and admire, it’s like having a giant Minecraft wall right inside your room.
Step 6: Finally, use each cube to organize a different category of items: toys in one, art supplies in another, maybe even snacks in the TNT bin (just for fun).
Tips:
When I helped create one of these for a playroom, we let the kids choose which characters to make, and it instantly became their favorite corner of the house.
The secret is that the kids kept it neat because they actually loved “building” with their cubes.
