Goodwill. Good Cause.
We’ve been scrolling through Pinterest like crazy getting all kinds of fantastic ideas for costumes. One such idea is creating a costume inspired by the adorable minions from Despicable Me. It’s an easy enough costume for, say, the parents of triplets looking to costume their children for an affordable price. . . As with any DIY, there are several ways to go about things. This is one version of how to create this easy-peasy costume.
Supplies:
Yellow Hoodie
Overalls
Fabric glue or Liquid stitch
Scissors
A paper with the “printed G” (available at the end of this post)
Pipe cleaners
Goggles (and paint if you want them silver and black)
Hot Glue Gun & glue stick
Mittens
Step one: Be inspired. Seriously, how can you even get enough of these fantastic little Minions?
Step two: Cut out your “G” and glue it onto the bib of the overalls. Using Liquid stitch seemed more secure than just regular glue, but if regular glue is what you’ve got, I’m betting it will work just fine.
Step three: If you happened to find brightly colored swimming goggles, like I did, then I recommend painting them.
Step four: Make your hair. Take two pipe cleaners and cut them in half. Take two pieces and twist them together. Fold your twisted piece in half and flatten then bottoms into a four pronged base. Repeat this until you have about 5 – 8 nobs of hair.
Step five: Attach your hair. Find a ball or bowl or something rounded to set your hood on and fill it out like a little head would. Warm up your glue gun and start gluing on your hair nobs. Many minions had different hair placement, so channel which minion your minion wants to be.
Step six: Assemble it all together for one charming looking minion, (or three if you’ve got multiple minions!)
Each minion costume was less than $9.00!
As promised, here is the “G” should you want to print your own for your costume.
