– Black tulle fabric or similar (optional… to cover mouth yet allow person to see through it) – Spray-on Polyurethane (optional… to keep paint from scratching off bowl over time) – Fabric scraps or old socks to create shoulder straps inside for comfort – Scissors and/or box cutter for cutting arm holes and mouth – Glue gun (handy if you have one… used for attaching the clothes) – Supplies for eyes (cans, lid from a jar, cut an oatmeal container, etc.) – 2 large black buttons (or paint some black) – Fabric for clothes (I think I bought about 1 yard per Minion)
– Yellow spray paint (plan for about 1 can per Minion) – Piece of poster board, large size (or large enough to wrap around torso you might need a strip from a second poster board, so perhaps you want to get 2 at the store to be safe)
– A wide, shallow bowl (I found mine at Dollar Tree) This is all you need… basic supplies you either already have or can find easily: How awesome is this Adult Gru Mask (see below) – the perfect final touch! *Update: I have found that this typically sells out every Halloween, so I would suggest you go ahead and order it if it’s available and you really want to add a “Gru” to your clan!

Love it! (By the way, the kiddos below won their fair share of “Best Costume Contests” last year. This costume idea might even be more relevant this year since Despicable Me 2 came out this past summer. You might even have much of what you need! And it cost very little–I spent maybe $10-15 or so. You just need to allow some time to let the paint dry in between steps. (I had only been blogging for a week back then! Time flies!) It really was so easy. When I made my girls’ Minion costumes, I took pictures along the way so I could share the tutorial with all of you.
#Adult minion costume how to#
We moms searched and searched for a good costume that we could simply buy and be done with it, but they were all pretty expensive, and honestly, they were terrible.Īnd then my friend came up with this awesome idea and told us how to do it.

I can say that because I didn’t come up with it my super-creative friend did! Last fall, two of my daughters and a few of their friends all decided they wanted to be “Minions” together (from the movie Despicable Me). This Halloween costume idea is simply genius.
