I often used a bowl of the approximate size to trace to make a perfect circle. Once the foam body was dry, the teeth were then hot glued inside the mouth hole.įor the eyes, I once again used a picture from the Internet to gauge the approximate size of the eyes. I used small scissors to cut each tooth to form and then glued the rows of teeth together in a straight line. ![]() At this time, I took the foam body outside to spray paint yellow.īetween spray paint coats, I used the extra foam triangles to form individual teeth for the minion mouth. I also added a thin foam piece to wrap around the bottom part of the mouth hole to make a bottom lip. Once all the hole were made, I took some time to trim the foam around the holes to make more uniform since the inside part had the “egg crate” form to it. I then asked my daughter to assist in measuring the placement of armholes on the sides. Once I was happy, I proceeded to trace the paper form onto the foam with a disappearing fabric marker and cut It out. I made a paper form of the hole and pinned it onto the costume to eyeball if it appeared to be the right size. From the I got took measurements from the picture to gauge the size of the mouth. Using pictures of King Bob from the Internet, I chose a similar facial feature that would work so that my daughter would be able to see through the mouth hole of the costume. The back seam of the foam body I left pinned together for the time being as my intentions for entering in/exiting the costumes would be through there. I used a thin foam paper circle that I cut to cover the hole that was there. They also did not all reach the center of he minion head once glue together. As I was glueing, I realized that I need to add foam into some of the empty spaces to keep the circular shape more uniform. Once this was done, i hot glued all the triangles together to help form the curve to the top of the minion head. To create the circular form to the head, I cut 6 inch tall triangles with 3 inch bases across the top. ![]() Using my daughter to gauge the circumference of the body, I wrapped the pad around her and cut to size. I settled on using a foam mattress pad for the body. I didi some research on how to best make a minion costume that would match their shape but also not be too restrictive. My daughter decided she wanted to be a minion for Halloween, but she didn’t want to be just any minion, she wanted to be King Bob from the Minion movie.
