Purple Minion Costume for Kids

Product Information

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 Minion First 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. 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! 🙂 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.

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 WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING – Dangerous and Unpredictable Watch the Purple Minion in the Mailroom HUGE Sims LED Plumbob Headband / Life Size Light Up Mood Plum Bob Headwear / Sim Costume Hat / The Sims Cosplay / Halloween Comic Con Outfit Use a Halloween witch cauldron and use a camping mat to form the body. Spray paint the body purple.After these few details were done, I went over the costume with an iron and a paper towel and got the excess glue off that I accidently got on the evil purple minion costume, whoops! 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. My Thoughts: Easiest, but not the best looking. No option for a fan to be mounted on the inside to keep cool… Visible seams.

Then Illumination Entertainment came out with a new minion—the crazy, screaming, mutant purple ones (the evil minions) for Despicable Me 2. What else can you say but, BAAAHHH! 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???I cut out an M for El Macho with my cutter and ironed it on the costume, then we used buttons and glued them to the straps of the overalls to make it appear more realistic. 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!

To see the smile on our childs face when we finished was amazing. I even got a cool video of him running around acting like an evil minion! 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.

I didn’t like how the ends were frayed, so I hemmed the edges to look better. I put the picture below on my personal Facebook with the caption “ It’s hot and humid outside but I didn’t wanna sew inside. My neighbors already know I’m crazy so it’s okay ? “. 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!! Mommy's Little Minion infant bodysuit / creeper / one-piece. You choose color & size.

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 Hunter x Hunter Shirt, hxh Shirt, HunterxHunter Anime jersey, Custom Baseball Jersey, Unisex Anime Shirt, Personalized Gift for Kids 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. I know I’ve had those days when I just want to say, BAAH! to everyone. I think many people (Moms ?) have. Another plus with this costume is that you get to dress in purple.
