Note: The official versions are for yellow minions to need to be colorized to purple. Easy to Make Minion Goggles

Kirsti A. Dyer, The Costume Detective Ultra Easy Purple Minion Costume Despicable Me Evil Purple Minion T-shirt Next step was the overalls. It is very important to use templates here. I spent several hours cutting paper to find the exact template that would work here. When you cut out the overalls, cut it out as one piece. I cut the bib part out separately and honestly I think it would have looked better as a solid piece on the purple minion costume.

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 I’m excited to share with you a tutorial on how we made an evil purple minion costume for our 8 year old for his Halloween costume this year! This costume took me about 16+ hours to complete, BUT that’s because I did templates and trial runs before I made parts of the costume. This costume could be less involved or more involved depending on how many hours you want to dedicate to it. From the ideas I’ve gathered the average costume takes about a weekend or two of dedicating to it. I made this costume over the span of 2 months. Don’t freak out just yet – I didn’t work on the costume every weekend or every week even. I did lots of research and trial runs to make sure what I was using was how I wanted it to turn out. Hopefully, this tutorial will significantly shorten the time you have to dedicate to your child’s costume! 🙂 Use a Halloween witch cauldron and use a camping mat to form the body. Spray paint the body purple. My Thoughts: Easiest, but not the best looking. No option for a fan to be mounted on the inside to keep cool… Visible seams.

This was the most time consuming part… I bought a purple wig at first and hated how it looked, so I started scouring the internet finding ideas to make the hair of the purple minion costume more realistic.

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 MinionMy Thoughts: Lightweight, but very flimsy… Possibly room for a mini fan… Not quite sure. Not mobile – restricted movement. The minions are not the only creatures affected by the PX-41 serum, because we also see the effects of the PX-41 serum on El Macho. You can see some of the fun animation testing for the purple minion (and perhaps how to behave if you dress as a purple minion) in the YouTube Clip from Illumination Entertainment: DIY Evil Minion Costume Assemble a Purple Minion Costume 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. 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. Don’t forget the gloves to cover you hands so you don’t have to paint them purple too. Crazy Evil Minion Hair & Floppy Arms Elongated, Skinny Floppy Arms
