Here are the materials I used and how I put it together.Ģ-inch PVC pipe segment – I used a precut section about 2 feet longġ female to female joining piece of PVC – color doesn’t matter From there you can make a collection of pointers that make the best costume that fits you. My suggestion would be to scour the interwebs for the version you are most comfortable with, or by what works best depending on your timeline. Although, the majority of the video is of the girl bouncing around than actual instruction, you can still find good pointers for the costume. There are a good amount of people out there with DIY minion goggles of their own using all sorts of materials ending up with all sorts of solutions, such as this. After watching the videos online and seeing how people were going about creating theirs, I figured it would be pretty easy to make and would only take about a day. So naturally, I wanted to help out and make them. I’m sure you can buy some cheap plastic ones online somewhere, but that just takes all the fun out of it. The costume for the most part is relatively easy to piece together from thrift shops and what not, with the exception of the goggles. Of course, if you want to skip the fun and go the easy route, you can avoid all the above steps and purchase a pair of premade minion googles.For Halloween this year my girlfriend and her friend decided to be Despicable Me minions. Now you should have a funky pair of homemade DIY minion goggles! Another option is to poke a small hole through the goggles slide the elastic through and tie a knot. It is best to cut just short of what your head measures so that the goggles stay on tight to your head.Ĭonnect this elastic to your minion goggles with a hot glue gun (press and hold until dry) or a powerful stapler can do the trick. So measure your head and make sure that you cut off the correct amount. A piece of thick black elastic works best. To keep the goggles on your head you are going to need a strap. Remember to spray every side of your goggles. You are best to do this outside on a bed of newspaper, be careful because the paint can go everywhere if you’re not careful. Use some silver spray paint for a nice even coat of paint. The next step is adding the color to the goggles (if you didn’t know the minions have silver goggles). Next, glue these frames to the front of the duct tape roll lenses. When cutting out it does not need to be perfect, the purple minions are quite rough! And there you have it, a 2cm thick ring which will become a frame for one of the lenses. Careful now… poke some scissors through the center of the circle to cut out the middle, using the inner circle line you drew earlier as your guide. Cut around the outside line to give you a card circle. Next use this circle as a guide to measure another circle about a centimetre above this line, and a centimetre below this line. Draw around the roll to create a circle around the outside of the roll on to the card. To create the thick frames place the duct tape rolls down flat on a piece of card. Let’s begin the creation of your minion goggles.įind two rolls of duct tape (empty rolls), these will become the goggle’s lenses. Length of elastic 12-20 inch (depending on head size).To complete any minion Halloween costume you are going to need some goggles!
