It’s almost Halloween! Have you been working on your costume? Spartygw over at Imgur has been, and this year, for Halloween (and for DragonCon 15), he’s going to be a minion!
If you’re thinking about making a Minion costume for yourself, Spartygw’s Imgur post reads like a nice tutorial to walk you through the process.
It’s a little late for Halloween costumes, but it’s never too late for MINIONS!
Kiddyfactory, over at Craftster, posted this minion costume that she worked on with a friend.
You can see the whole creative process here.
Want to protect your precious phone and add something cute to your pocket as well? Why not follow Katie’s tutorial and make a phone cozy shaped like a minion? For this craft, you only need some felt and a sewing machine. Super easy!
Katie’s website, punk projects, is really amazing. She regularly posts interesting how-to’s and pictures of her own crafts. In fact, punk project has been featured a few times before on Geek Crafts!
My husband and I saw “Despicable Me 2” last weekend (it was his idea…he hasn’t watched an animated movie or a cartoon with me since “Toy Story” came out!), and as before, those little minions are just wildly funny. And according to the great vast internet, they remain pretty popular.
Brain from Kansas posted a tutorial on how he turned his son into a minion for Halloween, with the bulk of the costume coming from a garbage can. “As soon as my son saw Dispicable Me, my son immediately knew he wanted to be a minion. I had made his costumes for the past several years…, so I started working on this new challenge. He can be pretty shy, but once he was in this costume, his personality lit up.” Brian has some really great photos in his tute, which would be easy to recreate, or turn into a static display for a porch for a Halloween decoration.
Up next, an unknown family goes total “Despicable Me” cosplay! I really wish there was some way to ID them here. This is an awesome group costume!
And someone, please, tell me if I’m seeing this right…Check out Vector there in the photo. Does anyone else think that looks like Kristin Wiig, or is it just me?
BTW, if you go see “Despicable Me 2,” stay through the credits. There’s some funny minion stuff during the credits, but nothing afterwards.
In honor of the recent release of Despicable Me 2 (which was a fun flick, even though we had no children with us), here is the pattern for some crochet mini Minions! Aren’t they adorable? They would look great adorning someone’s cube at work, or stuffed in a toddler’s chubby little hand. :)
