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!

This board is a collection of Purple (Evil) Minion images that inspired the costume, hair and makeup along with more creative ideas for DIY fun from drawings to food with the evil minion. Are you one of those crazy mom’s like me who loves for your child to wear a handmade costume, but in the middle of the process you ask yourself – why do I do this every year? That is me to a T. But the outcome is always so worth it. To see their sweet smile and the excited look on their face to wear it around and be that character? Priceless.. This year my son decided he wanted an evil purple minion costume for Halloween and I’m going to walk you through the steps to make your own, so you can enjoy the smiles and laugher of your little one being an evil purple minion can bring! Every single minute that we put into this costume was worth it. To see the smile on our childs face when we finished was amazing. I even got a cool video of him running around acting like an evil minion! To be a purple minion you need to have purple hair, but many people probably don’t want to dye their hair purple. To figure out how to create evil minion hair and makeup I wrote a separate section just on Purple Minion Make up and Hair to give you ideas for creating your own purple minion crazy styles.

I didn’t like how the ends were frayed, so I hemmed the edges to look better. I put the picture below on my personal Facebook with the caption “ It’s hot and humid outside but I didn’t wanna sew inside. My neighbors already know I’m crazy so it’s okay ? “.

The planning phase took a lot of time for me to decide what to make the evil purple minion costume out of. I’m not even going to tell you the number of hours I spent on the internet searching and searching for ideas. I wrote a list of different costume designs and the pros and cons of it. It looked a little like this: Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. First you’ll want to cut strips of the purple yarn to the length you’re looking for. Remember, you’ll be “brushing” (actually teasing) the yarn so it’ll add a little length to the hair in the end. Once you have your strips cut out (I ended up using around 200 or more), you’ll start hot gluing them to the head. I started out with my first row right above the minion goggle strap. I added a row all the way around the head. Once the first row was complete, I started pulling the string that was holding the yard together out, strand by strand. Then I started “teasing” the hair to make it have a wild look. I wouldn’t recommend brushing the yarn out because it’ll all start coming out and you’ll be left with an evil minion who looks like he’s loosing his hair, lol. Once I teased the first row, I started working on the second row and repeating the same steps.

Who wouldn’t want an excuse on Halloween to dress up like an indestructible, crazed, quirky, screaming minion, who doesn’t say much and definitely doesn’t play well with others? Despicable Me Evil Minion – BAAH! 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.

Once I had the yarn teased and fluffed I used strong hold hairspray and hairsprayed the strands really good – don’t forget the inside too! Once the hairspray dried, I turned the costume over and started “styling”. I used glue adhesive spray and glued the inside of the hair to the dome shaped head so it would cover the very top of the head (looking down into the costume). I then used some of the fuzz that I pulled from the hair by teasing it and hid the glued part of the strand at the bottom and used in gaps where I needed to make it appear more “fuller”. Once I had it styled like I wanted it, I added even more hairspray and let it dry. Spray adhesive glue – like this **you may choose to use something else. I didn’t like how this sprayed on.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. Wonderfully made! Fast too! I’m constantly amazed! Purple minions are my ultimate fave minion so this hat is just utter love! I am also so grateful that I could add more teeth to him too! Cause you know...their teeth are one of their “best features”... ;-) Love it!! We ended up buying some bulky yarn to use as the hair. The color wasn’t exactly the purple I was hoping for, but we couldn’t find another purple that would work better.

My Thoughts: Easiest, but not the best looking. No option for a fan to be mounted on the inside to keep cool… Visible seams.

Since this was one of my favorite costumes for 2013, I had to add it to our growing collection of Costume Detective costume ideas. I think this costume is going to continue to be a popular alternative (or complement) costume for Despicable Me fans who want to dress like Minions for Halloween or other occasions.

Next step was the overalls. It is very important to use templates here. I spent several hours cutting paper to find the exact template that would work here. When you cut out the overalls, cut it out as one piece. I cut the bib part out separately and honestly I think it would have looked better as a solid piece on the purple minion costume. After these few details were done, I went over the costume with an iron and a paper towel and got the excess glue off that I accidently got on the evil purple minion costume, whoops! 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! 🙂 Many of the current costume tutorials require a lot of crafting to get the costume done; this tutorial requires no sewing and minimal crafting. Items Needed for a No-Sew Purple Minion Costume Despicable Me Purple MinionAfter 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: Heavier, but can use straps to offset the weight of the costume. Definitely can add a mini fan. Not mobile. Durable? My Thoughts: Lightweight, but very flimsy… Possibly room for a mini fan… Not quite sure. Not mobile – restricted movement.
