When all was said and done, I think it turned out terrific for a non-crafty type.
#Plus size adult purple minion costume how to#
I used a TON of glue, learned how NOT to glue, learned how to lengthen arms when my daughter didn’t think they dragged enough, and even figured out how to make a stencil on my third try! (why are those so confusing!). I took a chance and went to Joanne’s and kind of pretended I knew what I was doing (fake it till you make it, right?) I didn’t even know you have to draw a number – like at a deli! I bought fabric, foam, spray glue, and some Styrofoam thingy that I thought might work for the head – oh, and I scared a little girl about my daughter’s size when I asked her mom if I could wrap some foam around her. I could write poetry, or a song, but the tole painting was my sister Helen, and the theme party gig was all my sister Pam.īut when my 4 year old daughter wanted to be a purple Minion, I felt even I could do better than the foam shirt option I found online. I am one of three sisters and my mom even once said “The Lord has blessed me with two creative daughters”. My sisters have always been the “crafty ones”. This is my first year making a costume for one of my children. Never in a million years did I think I would be entering one of my own costumes here.
First let me say that I have spent years looking at this site just because it is so FUN! When I was pregnant I remember looking for just the right costume.
