Birthday Minion + Instructions

My stepson's girlfriend's nephew's birthday's coming up (say that 5 times fast!) and she mentioned the party was going to be minion-themed.  Could. Not. Resist.

Body

1. Cut a 4 x 5.25" piece of yellow card.
2. Round the top corners.
3. Attach to an A2  (4.25 x 5.5") black card base.

Goggles

1. Cut a .5 x 4" strip of black cardstock.  This is the goggles strap.
2. Adhere the black strip about 1.5" down the card.
3. Cut two 1.25" circles in gray (shiny silver if you've got it would be ideal).
4. Attach the two gray circles over the strip, centered vertically and horizontally.

Eyes

1. Cut two 1" circles in white.
2. Cut two .5" circles in brown.
3. If you're going to use tiny black brads for the pupils, do so now.  Otherwise, draw in or use black Enamel Accents like I did at the end.
4. Attach the brown circles to the white.
5. Attach the eyes to the gray circles, centering vertically and horizontally.

Hair

1. Cut narrow strips of 1.5" black cardstock.
2. Glue down in your preferred style.

Mouth

1. I used my largest circle die to cut a circle segment from black cardstock then cut it down to size.
2. You could also just draw it in.

Overalls

1. Cut a 1.5 x 2.5" piece of cardstock for the bib.  I used a dark blue here.
2. Attach the bib to the bottom center of the yellow layer. 
3. Cut two .5 x 3" strips of the same cardstock for the straps.  
4. If you're using brads instead of buttons for the snaps, do so now.  Otherwise, wait until the end.
5. Attach the straps to the bib at your preferred angle.
6. Carefully cut away the excess strap.  I used an Exacto blade.
7. Using a white pigment pen, draw in stitching lines as shown.

Now isn't that easy?
