How to Make Your Own Minecraft Skins

Creating your own Minecraft skins may sound like a difficult process, but trust me it is as easy as 1,2,3. You simply have to be acquainted with a photo editing software (such as Paint or Photoshop).

The first thing you’re going to require (aside from a picture editing software) is the template for the Minecraft skins. If you don’t have this you can go to minecraft skins in order to find it.

As you can see on the template every bit of the skin includes a different part of the template that it will likely be. So color in the some other part of the template, like the face, the legs, arms, hair etc. but keep in mind that when you are finished the image will be about one hundred times smaller. When you are finished and save your valuable finished minecraft skin it will likely be 64x32px.

If you need assistance then try using the default skin as a guide and then make small changes. Maybe give a hat, and then glasses, then you can alter the head. After that it gets easy.

Now that you have created your minecraft skins I can see you asking "But how do I put it on?!"

To use your different minecraft skins go to the minecraft homepage and sign in. Once logged in click on "Preferences" which should take you to your own user skin page. Now I’m sure you can see how to continue from here.

Simply click upload and choose the skin you want to use. It will take just a few minutes depending on your internet rate, but after you have uploaded your new minecraft skin it will show you a preview on the site.

If you want minecraft skins but do not want to make your own, then try the site listed above. They have lots of minecraft skins to acquire and use, I like it a lot.
