Step 1: Stick Together Battery and Motor

First tape the two 9V batteries with black tape.
Cut the loop on top of DC motor.
Stick one DC motor on each of the batteries.
Bring the two units together keeping one rotating arm on top of the other and stick them.
[NOTE: IT IS EASIER TO STICK THESE SUBUNITS TOGETHER WITH A HOT GLUE GUN]

Step 2: Connect With Wires

Take a small piece of plastic filament and loop it around the two units.
Take another (green) wire and connect the opposite ends of DC motor.
Use wire connectors to connect batteries to DC motors. (Black wire of connector 1 to motor 1 and red wire of connector 2 to motor 2.)
Now take a small switch and connect with the batteries. (Take red wire of connector 1 and black wire of connector 2 and connect them to switch.)

All your connections are done! Hurray! :D

Step 3: Place the Minion Head

Take a tin and cut it into 3/4ths.
Place it on top of the unit we created.
Print a cute little minion face and stick it on the tin.
