I’m thrilled to be sharing with you some really fun DIY Minion costumes to look forward to creating this Halloween!
Minions have been a longtime beloved character since Despicable Me came out way back in 2010. Can you believe the first movie is really that old?
Minions have been a staple in our household for years, one of my kids’ most loved characters. They’re silly and goofy and just so lovable, even if they’re sometimes supposed to be Villains.
With the new Minions movie out this year, you can bet that your kids, and probably my own, will want to dress up as these adorable banana-loving creatures. Minions typically wear denim bib overalls and have yellow skin, making it an easy starting point for a real clothes costume. You can finish it off with a cap, or one of the more ocmplete costumes below.
These outfits are so easy to make yourself and will save you so much money on Halloween costumes! Here are the best DIY Minion costumes that you can make yourself.

DIY Minion Costume for Kids
With their potty sense of humor and their lovable, bright colors, kids just so relate to Minions. Plus, they get into all sorts of antics, and are misunderstood while only trying to be loyal – kind of like kids! If all these speak to your kids, here are some DIY Minion costumes for them to try!
One of my best and most successful tips for getting a child to wear a costume is to use what they’re comfortable wearing. Consider that when deciding which of these DIY Minion costumes for kids to try. They’re all pretty similar, with small twists, and a different element might work for you depending on what you have in your arsenal or your skill set.
For the one who needs a beanie, use a beanie. For the every day baseball cap wearer, use that. Work with your kid to ensure a successful dress-up session!
