Materials

  • Brown paper bag
  • Colored cardstock or construction paper
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Markers
  • Tape optional
  • Minion template

Instructions

  • Download the minion template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.
  • Begin by gluing the eyes to the middle of the goggle(s). Use a brown marker to color in the iris and a black marker to outline the eye.
  • Glue the goggle strap to the middle of the minion's head. Trim off any paper that hangs off the sides.
  • Next, glue the completed goggles over the strap.
  • Draw a smile on the minion's face or glue on the open mouth, just below the eyes.
  • Create the minion's body by gluing the overalls onto the minion's body.
  • Place the pocket in the middle and upper part of the overalls and glue it in place.
  • Use a black marker to draw buttons where the overall straps and top of the overalls meet.
  • Take the completed body and glue it to the main portion of the brown paper bag. Trim off the excess brown paper bag.
  • Glue the completed head to the flap portion of the brown paper bag.
  • Optionally: Cut out some thin strips of black paper and tape them to the top and back of the head so it looks like the minion's hair.
