Minions have been a favorite of kids and adults alike ever since the 2010 release of the hit movie Despicable Me, and became a household staple after the release of the 2015 Minions movie. A new movie, Minions: The Rise of Gru, is scheduled for a July 2022 release, so the interest in Minions isn't going away any time soon! Not only are the tiny yellow troublemakers adorable and fun to watch on the big screen, but they're also a great option if you're looking for a fun homemade Halloween costume idea that can work for the whole family. Remember if you are doing face paint, be sure to get dressed (except for the gloves) and get your shoes on before doing your face paint. Face Mask Your hardest decision about your minion costume may be whether to be a one-eyed or a two-eyed minion. Who are the Minions? There are several different types of pre-made goggles from official Despicable Me goggles to the Steampunk Safety Goggles (which can be reused for any Steampunk cosplay costumes).

Group costumes with Scarlet and her three minions, Stuart, Kevin and Bob, are likely to be very popular both at the premiere and for Halloween.

Another easy and useful option is to get a yellow hoodie or sweatshirt with a hood. With a hooded sweatshirt you don’t need to have a yellow beanie and you can add in pipe cleaner hair, if desired to the hood, plus it is added warmth for a Halloween costume.
