DIY Minion Kids Cycle Head Lamp

kids love them.

Grown ups love them too!

Yup the minions!

This is a simple instructable to make a kids cycle head lamp.

Based on minion character "stuart", who loves playing ukuele all the time!

Well hes my favourite!

You probably love bob. Or kevin. Or dave. Or Maybe all of them!

The character design given here is based on Minions Movie.

In which they all wind up being prisoners, for a short time.

Instead of ukuele, i have chosen electric guitar here.

Splash creativity and make your bob, kevin,dave, mel or any one else come alive.

2 toy torches

1 cardboard piece - 15cm * 9 cm

For better outcome, use torch cap/ring to get exact dimensions

Step 6: Glue a Half Piece of Torch on Back of Cardboard

This is mainly for balance and support to the overall structure.

Step 7: Paint the Torch Cap/ring With Grey or Apply Grey Dough of M-seal /grey Clay

i used one torch cap as my character stuart has single lens goggles

2. extra torch cap

The two torch pieces have to be cut Accordingly,

1. One Torch piece has to be cut into 3 pieces : head, body and tail.

2. Other has to be cut into 2 pieces : head + body and tail.
