I cut the shorts using a pair at home for a pattern, and added the front, back and straps. The shoes, black tights, black polo shirt, yellow pair of socks and cheap black pair of black gloves finished off the outfit. The hair is black pipe cleaners, and to keep them standing up straight, I molded a 1/3 inch piece of pipe cleaner and hugged each of the 10 pieces of hair at it’s base. The eyes were cut from a minion t-shirt then glued to a thick piece of cardboard, and the black strap for the goggles is black elastic. I cut triangle pattern pieces, experimenting until several fit to make the head. The head and body were yellow fleece, with the stiffest possible iron-on backing for the body. I first covered the ball with a trash bag, so I could remove the “finished bowl shape” easily. I made a paste from flour and water, tore up newspapers and had a gooey fun time. This shape, though, wouldn’t have allowed enough room for my (wider) shoulders, so I used my exercise ball covered with a trash bag. I checked the internet for some kind of ideas, and found many minion costumes for children were made using a trash can with a round top. My friend, who is also a grandmother, is borrowing it, too, for her niece’s 7-year old birthday party this weekend. The smiles and giggles made it all worthwhile.
It was very fun to make, and even more fun to wear. I made myself a costume to wear at our church’s Oct 31st Trick or Treat candy handout.
#Sad minion cosplay movie
They absolutely adored the movie “Despicable Me”. My grandchildren already had planned costumes, so I decided to make a minion costume for their enjoyment. My husband of 43 years passed away in September, and I decided I could sit around sad and empty OR stay busy busy with sewing, crafts, etc.
