I may be a little on this post but who doesn't love to learn how to make some random Halloween costumes year round, right? I decide that I wanted to be a minion this year. Yes, I did google DIY online but I did not find anything that I really liked so I used my own imagination to create this awesome and did I mention easy costume.
Supplies:
- Rit Dye in Yellow
- Long Sleeve Shirt
- Leggings
- Knit Hat
- Black Stretch Headband
- Index cards
- Popsicle Stick
- Hot Glue Gun
- Brown and Black Marker
- Black Pipe Cleaners
- Grey Craft Foam
- Dark Blue Suspenders
- Dark Blue shorts or underwear (no one needs to know)
- Black boots or tall back socks would work too

1. Use Rit dye to dye hat, long sleeve, and leggings. I used white clothing for all the pieces. I followed the directions on the back but I ended up using the whole container of yellow dye and just put all of the clothing in my kitchen sink and stirred for 30 minutes. I did not wash my clothes as directed because I wanted all of yellow to be bright. I just rinsed and put in dryer for 30 minutes with a dryer sheet to freshen clothing
2. I cut black pipe cleaners into 2 inch sections and wove into top of hat to create minion "hair"
3. I traced a large soup can onto 2 large index cards to create the base for the eye balls. I then cut out the circles and traced a quarter in the center with brown marker. I filled in with brown marker and free handed the back iris in the middle of the brown. I then cut little strips of gray craft foam and hot glued in a circle around soup can. Then place the gray onto the index cards to create some dimension of the glasses. Then glue the index cards to popsicle stick so the "eyes" do not bend once placed on headband. Finally glue popsicle to headband and let try for at least 20 minutes.
4. Throw on the whole outfit and you are a Minion!
5. Have a great night!
