Materials

  • Colored card stock in yellow, black, white, bright blue and light blue
  • Glue stick I prefer this glue for thick paper
  • Black marker

Instructions

  • Fold a piece of yellow card stock in half with the fold line on the left side. Trace your child's left hand on the paper, with the pinky along the fold line. Cut the handprint out, leaving the fold line in tact along the pinky.
  • Use the 1.5" and .25" punch to cut out two circles from the black card stock. Use the 1" circle punch to cut out one circle from the white card stock. 
  • Using the scissors or a paper trimmer, cut out two rectangles about .5" wide and as long as you need to extend to the outside of your child's handprint (mine were each about 1.5" long). 
  • Glue the .25" black circle to the middle of the 1" white circle, then glue both to the middle of the 1.5" black circle. This will be the minion's eye. 
  • Glue the black rectangles behind the minion eye to create the goggles. Center the entire eye and goggle piece just below the fingers on your child's handprint and glue in place. If it extends between the fingers, use scissors to trim the excess. 
  • Cut out a square from the bright blue paper that's large enough to cover the bottom of your child's handprint. Glue to the bottom of the handprint, then cut the excess off. 
  • Cut two long and skinny rectangles from the bright blue paper to serve as the minion's overall straps. Position them on an angle to the bottom of the handprint and glue into place. Cut off the excess that extends off the handprint. Use the black marker to draw on the overall snaps. 
  • Using the .5" circle punch, cut out a circle from the light blue paper. Use the scissors to cut off the top quarter of the circle. Glue this piece in the middle of the overalls. 
  • Use the black marker to draw a mouth on the minion. 
  • Open up and write a special message!
