Step 1: Template

I made a template out of cardboard for the top of head and made the Minion glass eye from foam. A couple of strips for the strap to go round Minion head. A 8inch circle for the glass

Step 2: More Foam

I used two 8mm foam camping mats for the main body

Step 3: Drawing

I drew the smile on the mat where I thought it may go

Step 4: Cut Outs

I cut a small circle for eye then used mesh to make it darker and able to see through.
Also where I thought the smile would go I cut that out too.
I glued small teeth shapes on. Also asked daughter to go inside and cut out arm holes.

Step 5: Paint

After putting the Minion togeather I took the glass eye off and mixed pva glue and water and painted the Minion.
After the glue was dry I painted yellow for the main body. White for teeth. Silver for goggle and black for the band

Step 6: Extras

I cut an old pair of jeans up and used the pocket for front and pocket for back and joined front to back with rest of jeans.

Step 7: Logo

Looked online for logo and using black marker to draw logo on front pocket.

Step 8: Sweeter (extra)

Had a feeling it may get warm after being on for a while so printed eye and smile on Sweeter. As extra
