Purple Minion Costume for Kids

Product Information

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING – Dangerous and Unpredictable Watch the Purple Minion in the Mailroom To figure out how to create evil minion hair and makeup I wrote a separate section just on Purple Minion Make up and Hair to give you ideas for creating your own purple minion crazy styles. Despicable Me Minion Goggles Pre-made Goggles ArcOne Fly Safety Goggles Hear from the director, editor and screen writers on the making of the minions from the official Despicable Me channel on YouTube. Looks like I am not the only one that thinks their BAAAHHH! is amusing. My Thoughts: Definitely the hardest, but best looking costume I’ve researched. Most time consuming. Plenty of room for a mini fan for air. Never used resin before – exploring new waters??? Once the fabric is added to the core of the body, you’ll want to go ahead and cut out the place for the eye. The good part about this is the Styrofoam is easy to work with and you can chisel away until it’s the desired shape you want. You’ll also want to cut out for the arms. I used a typical pair of scissors for this. You can also go ahead and make templates for the mouth and figure out how to make everything proportional.

Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Since I think the goggles are some of the minions coolest accessories, I would buy goggles rather than make them.

Many of the current costume tutorials require a lot of crafting to get the costume done; this tutorial requires no sewing and minimal crafting. Items Needed for a No-Sew Purple Minion Costume Despicable Me Purple MinionFirst you’ll want to measure the size of foam you’ll need the body. I wrapped the foam around my son to measure and gave extra room for comfort, BUT with the Styrofoam head. I wanted to make sure the purple minion costume was proportional as well. The size I needed for the head was perfect for my sons size. Once the foam is cut to the size you’ll need, hot glue the ends together. Once the glue is dried at the seam, you can start placing you’re fabric. I used Craftbond adhesive, BUT I wish I would have used something different. If I sprayed too heavy it would seep through the fabric and give a dark spot that won’t come out. It also didn’t stay adhered very well. I would suggest doing a trial run and figure out which product would work the best. I wish I would have done that for this step.

My Thoughts: Heavier, but can use straps to offset the weight of the costume. Definitely can add a mini fan. Not mobile.

It was easiest to hang the costume upside down in our garage – tease, tease, and tease the hair more to the desired body and appearance the hair needed. Once I had the yarn teased and fluffed I used strong hold hairspray and hairsprayed the strands really good – don’t forget the inside too! Once the hairspray dried, I turned the costume over and started “styling”. I used glue adhesive spray and glued the inside of the hair to the dome shaped head so it would cover the very top of the head (looking down into the costume). I then used some of the fuzz that I pulled from the hair by teasing it and hid the glued part of the strand at the bottom and used in gaps where I needed to make it appear more “fuller”. Once I had it styled like I wanted it, I added even more hairspray and let it dry. Wonderfully made! Fast too! I’m constantly amazed! Purple minions are my ultimate fave minion so this hat is just utter love! I am also so grateful that I could add more teeth to him too! Cause you know...their teeth are one of their “best features”... ;-) Love it!! Are you one of those crazy mom’s like me who loves for your child to wear a handmade costume, but in the middle of the process you ask yourself – why do I do this every year? That is me to a T. But the outcome is always so worth it. To see their sweet smile and the excited look on their face to wear it around and be that character? Priceless.. This year my son decided he wanted an evil purple minion costume for Halloween and I’m going to walk you through the steps to make your own, so you can enjoy the smiles and laugher of your little one being an evil purple minion can bring! We also went ahead and added the teeth. Just a word of advice – use white craft foam here. We started with white felt, but I hated how the teeth wouldn’t stay up, so I ended up ripping out the felt when we were finished with the costume and added the white craft foam teeth. If you end up buying clothes, get them in styles you might be able to reuse, especially if you are like me and enjoy wearing purple.

Spray paint the body purple. There are different versions from the official Despicable Me minion ones below or cool, steampunk versions like the ArcOne Safety Goggles or even pre-printed paper ones, which work well for minion parties. Despicable Me Minion Goggles We ended up buying some bulky yarn to use as the hair. The color wasn’t exactly the purple I was hoping for, but we couldn’t find another purple that would work better. Purple minions are created when one of Gru’s nemeses hatches an evil plot to take over the world. His plan it to turn Gru’s yellow minions into his purple henchmen. To do so the normally lovable yellow minions ingest or are injected with a mutagentic serum, PX-41 developed at a special lab in the Arctic circle.
