🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Start with Yellow Plates: Begin by using yellow paper plates to skip the step of painting. The bright yellow color gives you the classic Minion look right from the start, saving you time and effort.
- Make the Goggle Band: Cut a long black strip of paper and glue it horizontally across the center of the plate. This strip serves as the base for the Minion's iconic goggles, adding a nice contrast.
- Craft the Eyes: Cut two circles out of white paper for the eyeballs, then smaller black circles for the pupils. Glue these on the goggle band, either creating one or two eyes.
- Add Hair & Mouth: Use black paper to cut out simple spiky hair and a wide, smiling mouth. These features bring your Minion to life and give it the fun, cheeky look that makes them so lovable.
- Glue Everything Down: Carefully glue all the pieces—goggles, eyes, hair, and mouth—onto the plate. Press firmly to ensure everything stays in place and nothing peels off when handled.
- Let It Dry: Once all the pieces are glued, allow the craft to dry completely before moving or displaying it.
