Color it on paper. Watch it become a Minecraft skin.

Steagus Paper Doll is a paper-doll craft kit and a browser app in one. Print six little cube nets, hand them to a kid with crayons, and no screen has to be involved — until the very end, when a photo of the colored pages turns into a real, installable Minecraft skin.

Two ways in

Pick your screen time

Crayons and scissors first

Print the paper doll, hand it to a kid, and let them get creative. They color six little unfolded cube shapes — head, torso, two arms, two legs — the same way they'd color any coloring book page. No tablet, no login, no waiting for anything to load.

Straight to the screen

Prefer to build digitally? The same six body parts open right in your browser. Paint each face, spin a live 3D preview as you go, and export a finished skin PNG in seconds — no photos, no printing, no waiting.

The paper doll, start to finish

From crayons to a real Minecraft character

⬇️ Download the Paper Doll (PDF) ⬇️ One Piece Per Page (PDF) ⬇️ PDF + AI Guide (ZIP)

Either PDF prints and colors the same way — the standard sheet, or one piece per page for bigger, easier coloring (great for little hands). The ZIP adds the AI import guide — the file you hand an AI assistant along with your photos to build the skin.

  1. Print the six pieces

    Each body part is a little unfolded cube — a flat cross-shaped grid where every square is one Minecraft pixel. Corner marks and a tiny black/grey/white strip help everything line up later; they're not meant to be colored in.

    Don't cut out the pieces unless you absolutely don't need to make digital skins.

  2. Color it in

    Crayons, markers, colored pencils — whatever's in the house. This is the part that's just a coloring book: no rules beyond staying (roughly) in the lines.

  3. Photograph the flat pages

    One photo per page, taken straight down, with the four corner marks in frame. That's the only "tech" step a kid needs help with, and it takes about as long as it sounds.

  4. Let an AI assistant build the skin

    Upload the photos to any AI assistant along with the included import guide, and it reconstructs a proper 64×64 Minecraft skin — reading the corner marks to line up each piece and the color strip to correct for phone-camera lighting, then sampling every colored square back into the right spot on the skin sheet.

  5. Cut, fold, and glue — only once the skin is done (optional)

    Keep every page flat and uncut until the digital skin comes back looking right. If a photo was blurry, dim, or missing a corner mark, the assistant will ask for a re-shot page — and that's easy if the page is still flat, but impossible once it's been cut and glued into a 3D shape. Be patient through that step; it's normal, and it's the whole reason the pages are designed to work flat first. Once the skin looks correct, the same pages become a real paper toy: solid lines to cut, dashed lines to fold, tabs to glue. The character your kid designed exists on the shelf and in the game.

Any AI assistant works — this isn't locked to one product. The import guide that ships with the paper doll is a self-contained set of instructions (including a ready-to-run script) that tells any capable AI assistant exactly how to read the photos: where the alignment marks are, how to correct for warm or dim lighting, and how to map every colored square onto the standard Minecraft skin layout.

No part is invented or guessed — if a photo is unclear, the assistant will ask for a clearer one rather than fill in a piece it can't actually see.

Why paper first

Built for kids, finished by grown-ups

The coloring and the crafting are the whole point for a kid — fine-motor practice, patience, a real object to hold, and zero screen time until a parent sits down to help with the last step. The AI import is deliberately a separate, grown-up-assisted stage: a kid designs the character on paper; an adult (or an older kid) spends two minutes turning the photos into a skin. It's a project the two of you finish together, not a screen handed over solo.
