The agony of crafting a kid’s Halloween costume (you will find glitter remnants until next spring!) is always outweighed by the ecstasy of seeing your kid in said costume (their megawatt smiles are worth every glue gun burn you’ll incur). So whether it’s because these DIY Minion costumes are easy to create (read: no glitter or feathers), or because the newest movie, Minions: The Rise of Gru came out this past summer, or because your whole family will love channelling these lovable, yellow troublemakers (who doesn’t want to speak silly gibberish and eat bananas all day?), you’ll want to see the quick and affordable way to get your fam done up Despicable Me-style. And, yes, you can make ’em super last minute.
