Evil Minion Gift Bag Craft

I said it. We love Minions. My kids are older now, but we still watch every Despicable Me movie as soon as it comes out. Because we love Minions so much, I have lots and lots of Minions ideas for you on the blog, like Yellow Minion Bag Crafts, Minion Rice Krispies, and Banana Pudding Minion Snacks.

Despicable Me was a wonderful family movie, and Despicable Me 2 did not disappoint. With all of the wonderful Minion ideas floating around Pinterest, I figured it was time for me to start thinking up some of my own ideas for these cuties. I’m starting out with a purple Minion. They need a little love, too. Here’s an idea for a purple Minion party gift bag.

Supplies You’ll Need – for each bag

• A Purple Paper Bag
• Giant Google Eyes – 40 mm (1.5 inches)
• White Foam paper
• Black Foam paper
• Purple Foam Sheet
• Silver Mason Jar Lid – wide mouth (3.5 inches wide)
• Black Felt sheet
• Bag of Purple Feathers
• Tacky glue or Low temp glue gun

Instructions

Assembling the eye

Using the inside circle of the mason jar, trace a circle onto the white foam paper and purple foam paper

Cut the white foam circle out and the cut the purple foam circle

Trace around a googly eye onto the purple foam paper and cut it out

Flip the eyeball around and cut the back off – or mostly off

Insert the small purple foam circle – where the white backing used to be to make a purple eye

Glue the purple eye onto the center of the white foam circle.

Cut the purple foam circle in half and use one half to make an eyelid

Glue that to the top half of the eye

Glue the eye and eyelid to the inside of the mason jar

Goggle Strap

Cut 1/2 inch felt strips of black for the goggle straps

Glue the straps and the eyeball onto the front of the bag

Bend the straps around the sides of the bag and glue. Trim any excess.

Mouth:

Using the black foam, cut out an odd oblong shape for the Minion’s mouth

Cut various-shaped teeth out of white foam

Cut a couple of purple foam crescent shapes from your leftover purple half-circle

Assemble the mouth by gluing the black foam mouth onto the bag.

Add the teeth on the top and bottom

Glue the purple crescent pieces over the teeth

Hair

Glue purple feathers around the top half of the Mason jar lid for the purple Minion’s hair

Expert Tips

The Mason jar lid will add weight to the front of the bag and make it top-heavy. In order to stand it upright, it will need some weight in the bottom.

A piece of tape on the inside of the bag connected to the front and back of the bag will also help

Variations

You can really change the purple Mionion’s look by making different mouth shapes. Make oblong shapes to transform the bags into several Minion personalities. Make some vertically longer to make him look like he is yelling, make some skinny and oblong with only the bottom teeth showing. You can also use a black Sharpie to draw a silly smile.
