![]() Last but not least, Dad can get in on the fun - even if he hates dressing up because it truly doesn't get easier than just putting on some overalls, a shirt, and a few accessories. Some of the items need for a basic minion like the overalls or yellow shirt or yellow beanie you might even own, making it an easy costume to mash-up. Since minions have 48 possible distinct features, make sure to ask your kids which they want to showcase, including unique hairstyles, accessories, and, of course, attitude. Yellow Top, Turtleneck or Sweatshirt Blue Overalls Black Gloves Black Boots Gru Logo or Gru Symbol The Gru Logo is the main difference between the 2010/2013 minions and the prequel 1968 minions. While you might not have 10,400 minions running around the house (yes, that's how many there are in Despicable Me), this is a great costume idea for siblings. Not to mention, all you have to do is throw on the clothes and go - easy and comfortable. Same goes for the yellow long-sleeve shirt. I then cut out the logo and glued it to the blue background.Photo credit: Hearst Owned DIY Minion Halloween Costume for WomenĪ great pair of overalls will come in handy all season long, so you'll definitely re-wear them again and again. I darkened the logo with a black marker to increase the contrast. Then, I searched for the Minion logo, enlarged it and printed it (the black part as shown in the following images). First, I Google searched “jeans close up” and found a blue background that matched the color and pattern (as closely as possible) of my overall. Instead of cutting and sewing black felt onto the front pocket to make the Minion logo or ironing on a premade one, I opted for a simple paper version fixed with tapes. Materials: Overall (I bought mine in the men’s section at Walmart because I couldn’t fit into any of the junior sizes and the women’s section didn’t offer overall), a yellow long sleeve shirt, staples, book strap, two Ball Mason jar lids, tape, a stripe of aluminum foil, a pair of yellow socks, cure pipe, black shoes, black gloves Of course, I was well aware of the fact that the first Despicable Me had already been out for four years but I was confident that none of my coworkers had ever worn a Minion costume at work in the past Halloweens–at least I didn’t see anyone wore one in the photos they took in the last four years when I hadn’t joined the organization.Īs a token of my appreciation to the people who shared their DIY Minion costumes on the Internet (BIG thanks to you guys for inspirations) and my friends who LIKE and/or inquired about my creation, I will demonstrate how my Minion costume was made in one evening. I was grateful that there was a rich resource of DIY Minion costume readily available on the Internet. I immediately fell in love with the idea of being a Minion on Halloween!!Ī quick Google search further reinforced my determination to be this cute character. So the search dragged on until I came across a Halloween throwback photo from my high school classmate on Facebook two days before the big day. For the girl minion, I used basically the same shapes, but instead of pants I made a simple circle skirt. Doing it this way made the pants taper way in at the bottom, keeping the proportions of the original minion. I like to be creative but when it comes to costume, I just lack the talent. Then I cut out a petal shape from the middle to make pant legs and glued the seam that created. My younger sister is a fan of DIY costumes but she was far away in college, probably busy making her own. While I kept searching for a broom (or pondering whether I should make my own), I started to look at the alternatives. Apparently it wasn’t as easy as I thought to complete a costume of an ordinary, classic witch these days. My mother suggested to buy a real broom but the selections I found in the retail stores looked too modern to me (and by the way who would want to carry a real broom to work?!). ![]() It never occurred to me that it could be such a pain to find a broom! A visit to another Walmart didn’t solve my problem and how Party City carried a variety of witch costumes but not a single broom (or not having enough brooms in stock?) was beyond me. All I needed was a witch broom and I would be all set for my first ever Halloween party at work. A drive to Walmart and Target gave me a witch costume and a witch hat. My original plan (if this is what you call a plan) was to get whatever I could fit in from a store and claim it my Halloween Costume of 2014. ![]() Well, to be honest, I didn’t plan to be a Minion until two days before Halloween. ![]() Ever since I posted my Halloween photos on Facebook, a lot of my friends had asked me where I got the idea of making the Minion costume. ![]()
