How to make the BEST homemade Minion costume for Halloween or just for fun!

I never buy store-bought Halloween costumes. People call me crazy, but I enjoy making and designing them for my son and I LOVE to see him be original!

Because I design his costumes, I start designing at the end of July beginning of August – crazy right?

A few years ago I made a homemade Minion costume. Those little yellow creatures came into our lives watching Despicable Me 2 and we were hooked! We were addicted to the crazy Minion language & their silliness!

For my son’s birthday that year we also through him the most awesomest Minion birthday party you can see here!

This costume was super easy. It was just a matter of finding the right stuff to pull it together.

The glasses were the first thing I bought. When the Halloween stuff came out at the Dollar Tree I saw them and they were PERFECT! Couldn’t have been better. Until I found these Minion goggles. I wish I would have seen these that year! They’re super awesome!!

Hunter, my son, had overalls so I cutout the G shape like on the minion overalls and stapled it to the overalls.

I bought the minion slippers like the ones here.

The crocheted hat was the center of the costume!! I had a friend who made these, but you can find them on Etsy.

That was all his costume consisted of. Pretty easy right? We had the most compliments at the Halloween events!! Many people said we should have entered him into a Halloween costume.

Make sure your little one has the attitude for the costume too, like mine did hehe 🙂
