We had several of the items needed already at home. The big costume element we needed to create as the minion hat. I did find a yellow baseball cap at Academy Sports. All of the hat examples I had seen on Pinterest were yellow knit hats. I decided that we would have to go with it. While I was on the hunt for them, I did come across a short sleeve t-shirt for $3 at Walmart. I couldn’t find one online or in any of our local stores. I looked and looked for long sleeve yellow t-shirt or hooded sweatshirt. The overhalls were easy to find and were a great deal. I found a couple of them and pinned them to my Halloween Ideas board.Early this fall I started to look for the costume components. I started looking online for costume ideas when he announced that this would be his costume to look for minion costume ideas. He decided this summer after seeing the first Despicable Me costume on a neighbor’s DVD that he wanted to be minion. Any adhesive that works on fabric will do the trick.I need to figure out how to make a Halloween Despicable Me minion costume for JDaniel. I used Speed-Sew glue to attach the black part to the top of the blue felt and then more glue to attach to the pocket of the overalls. Now staple the outer G to some black felt and cut that out. Gently remove the staples and cut the inner G out of the printout. Get a piece of blue felt and staple the logo to it. Print it out and cut around the circle only to start. Save it to your computer, drop it into a word processing document and edit the image so the height is what you need. I found the image by searching ‘Gru logo’ on Google Images. Determine the height of the front pocket on the overalls – mine was 3″. If your kid sounds like mine, you can also purchase a party pack of paper Minion goggles for cheap (my dollar store carries them) and attach them to the hat (sort of like I did with the vases for his Minion party). While we do have a pair, he is only 2 and doesn’t like to keep them on for long so the hat is a better fit for my little guy. Your local toy store will most likely have Minion goggles available for purchase. Fold a black pipe cleaner in half and stick each of the pointy ends through the top of the hat and give a little twist to keep in place. If you are not so lucky, you can craft one very easily with a yellow toque (that’s a winter hat for you non-Canadians). She made this hat for Little J for his birthday. ![]() ![]() I lucked out with the hat as my friend loves to crochet. The Gru logo and the Minion hat are where you will need to flex your creative muscles. The black shoes were easy as he already has a pair of awesome Vans Nintendo runners that are black on the front. The overalls are the perfect Canadian winter pair – they are lined with plaid fleece! These will also get a lot of use over the winter. The yellow shirt is actually a Minion shirt! It will get far more use than just on Halloween. I found the shirt and overalls at my local used kids’ clothing store for deep deep discount prices.
