To wear, you need to keep your own arms inside, with the floppy ones outside.

From top to bottom is a list of the items needed to turn into an evil minion. Note: The official versions are for yellow minions to need to be colorized to purple. Easy to Make Minion Goggles

This is where wigs come in handy, like the Groovy Purple Punk Wig. All you have to do is frizz it out. The crazier the better. My Thoughts: Heavier, but can use straps to offset the weight of the costume. Definitely can add a mini fan. Not mobile. Durable? Once the fabric is added to the core of the body, you’ll want to go ahead and cut out the place for the eye. The good part about this is the Styrofoam is easy to work with and you can chisel away until it’s the desired shape you want. You’ll also want to cut out for the arms. I used a typical pair of scissors for this. You can also go ahead and make templates for the mouth and figure out how to make everything proportional. To be a purple minion you need to have purple hair, but many people probably don’t want to dye their hair purple.

Then Illumination Entertainment came out with a new minion—the crazy, screaming, mutant purple ones (the evil minions) for Despicable Me 2. What else can you say but, BAAAHHH! Use a Halloween witch cauldron and use a camping mat to form the body. Spray paint the body purple. Kirsti A. Dyer, The Costume Detective Ultra Easy Purple Minion Costume Despicable Me Evil Purple Minion T-shirt WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING – Dangerous and Unpredictable Watch the Purple Minion in the Mailroom After going over the pros and cons of each method – we decided the project foam option would be the best suited one. It was light weight, mobile, and supplies were convenient and not expensive. Materials Needed

My Thoughts: Definitely the hardest, but best looking costume I’ve researched. Most time consuming. Plenty of room for a mini fan for air. Never used resin before – exploring new waters??? I did 3 different trial runs with different products to use to style the hair and the one I liked the most was using the strong hold hairspray. The other products I used made the hair pull together too much and looked more “stringy”. First you’ll want to measure the size of foam you’ll need the body. I wrapped the foam around my son to measure and gave extra room for comfort, BUT with the Styrofoam head. I wanted to make sure the purple minion costume was proportional as well. The size I needed for the head was perfect for my sons size. Once the foam is cut to the size you’ll need, hot glue the ends together. Once the glue is dried at the seam, you can start placing you’re fabric. I used Craftbond adhesive, BUT I wish I would have used something different. If I sprayed too heavy it would seep through the fabric and give a dark spot that won’t come out. It also didn’t stay adhered very well. I would suggest doing a trial run and figure out which product would work the best. I wish I would have done that for this step.I’m excited to share with you a tutorial on how we made an evil purple minion costume for our 8 year old for his Halloween costume this year! This costume took me about 16+ hours to complete, BUT that’s because I did templates and trial runs before I made parts of the costume. This costume could be less involved or more involved depending on how many hours you want to dedicate to it. From the ideas I’ve gathered the average costume takes about a weekend or two of dedicating to it. I made this costume over the span of 2 months. Don’t freak out just yet – I didn’t work on the costume every weekend or every week even. I did lots of research and trial runs to make sure what I was using was how I wanted it to turn out. Hopefully, this tutorial will significantly shorten the time you have to dedicate to your child’s costume! 🙂 When I wrote the original Make a Purple Evil Minion Costume lens on Squidoo in July 2013 there were no “How To’s” for making the evil purple minion costume. Lots of tutorials for making the yellow minion, but no purples.
