BEEDO BEEDO!! Halloween 2013 with Tutorial

0 Comments

It's that time of the year again where girls and boys dress up and go trick or treating! (and for those old enough...party til the sun comes up!)

So this year I've decided to be the evil purple minion from Despicable Me 2 to pair with my BFFL who's going as the yellow minion. I've looked around and found some really nice tutorials for the costume and took a little bit from each to make mine own.

Check out what I was inspired by:

After looking through what others have made before me, I was off to make my version of this cute costume. I found an old high-waist skirt that I didn't wear anymore and cut that up.

I sewed close the 2 sides of the top rectangle and using the scrap pieces I was able to make 2 straps. With a white coloured eye liner pencil (don't judge me! lol) I drew out the M logo for El Macho and painted it with white acrylic paint.

I wasn't worried about the extra white lines, they just rub off over time. Then going through my button collection I found 2 buttons that were the same size, except one wasn't black. So I busted out the black acrylic paint and shazam just like that we got 2 black buttons!

I hand sewed the button to the strap and to the rectangular part of the skirt. Pictures of this will be at the end!!

I really liked the fitted with the goggle look from the North of Heaven costume. I searched my house for something to make the goggle from and found this takeout container

With an xacto knife I cut out the inner circle. This was surprisingly really easy and the plastic cut like butter!

Next I painted the outside of the container and the lid with grey acrylic paint. EZPZ

I then measured out a circle to fit the bottom of the container for the eye. With some paint I painted the purple eyelid and eye.

I had bought some elastic banding for a skirt I was going to make for my convocation but my serging needle broke and that plan flopped. So, I re-purposed the elastic (mine measured 1 1/2" by 20 1/2").
