I started with a dome-shaped candy bowl, and I used Mod Podge to attach yellow napkins. (Hint: I found the napkins thin and hard to work with, so I recommend using strips of yellow paper instead.)
Then, I cut a mouth out of a round laundry basket, covered it with yellow dish cloths (secured in place with duct tape), and attached a pop up hamper (with twine).
I cut two holes in the sides of a pop up hamper, and covered it in yellow dishcloths. Then, I used black duct tape, mason jar lids, and eyeballs printed on cardstock to make the Minion eyes.
Then, I used hot glue to attach pipe cleaner "hair" and duct tape to attached paper teeth.
Finally, I covered an old apron in blue duct tape to make the overalls. Cute, right?
My son was super-impressed with his costume, and I thought he looked super-cute. There really is nothing better than a DIY Halloween costume.
