They can't be left out of the Minion fun. Or, if you're feeling creative (and have a little more time), you can whip up something much more elaborate, like an adorable yellow skirt made of tulle. Create your getup from simple materials you likely already own, like overalls and a yellow shirt. A new movie, Minions: The Rise of Gru, is scheduled for a July 2022 release, so the interest in Minions isn't going away any time soon!

I then cut out the logo and glued it to the blue background.Minions have been a favorite of kids and adults alike ever since the 2010 release of the hit movie Despicable Me, and became a household staple after the release of the 2015 Minions movie. 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. I like to be creative but when it comes to costume, I just lack the talent. 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. ![]() 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. Well, to be honest, I didn’t plan to be a Minion until two days before Halloween. Then I cut out a petal shape from the middle to make pant legs and glued the seam that created. 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. ![]()
