The other difference I had was the mouth. Then I added eyes by using crinoline fabric and drawing eyes with pencil and sharpies because I found regular markers would bleed. I then re-added the metal rings and added some rivet(?) details by shaping them from aluminum foil.
From there I took off the metal rings covered the rubber in aluminum foil. I bought one and cut it in half, but because they were rubber, cutting it was easy-peasy. They even had some metal rings on there, so I thought it would work out nicely for detailing. Then I came across these giant black rubber couplers in the piping aisle. I’m not sure when aluminum flashing would ever come in handy for me again, unless I was to build a house maybe? But since I didn’t see that occurring in the near future, so I roamed the aisles looking for an alternative. I couldn’t justify the cost and also wastefulness because I would only use a tiny bit. My minion became a two eye minion because although I found the aluminum flashing, it was $16 for an entire roll. So I will just add how I adjusting the costume to fit with what items I could find. It just grabbed my attention and I was stuck on the costume since.
The base of my costume was from this Minion Costume…
MINION COSTUME DIY CHILD FULL
Although I wish I could take full credit in creating my costume, I have to give credit where credit is due. I have made homemade costumes for three years now and it is truly rewarding. Although everything they say is unintelligible, the expressive looks on their faces and tones in their voices, allows them to connect with everyone in any language young or old. Minions were the number one children’s costume for 2013 and for good reason! These little guys are able to bring joy and laughter by their sheer actions. So lots of birthday love and merriment carry on into the holiday. This year my 6 year old was a minion for Halloween! Halloween is especially special for my son because his birthday falls one week before the holiday.
