With the recent craze of people queueing up at 12 midnight waiting at McDonald's outlets to get hold of the latest Despicable Me Minion toys from the Happy Meal set, I definitely couldn't be bothered to join in the minion craze. But my 2 kiddos love em' so what has a mum gotta do? Talked about the things I had to do for my children!
I actually ended up making these minions from toilet paper rolls. Tried googling loads of sites for template that I can just download and print out but nope.. no such luck... so I hand draw them myself. To be honest, I have phobia of drawing things as I'm not good in drawing but because I love my kiddos and mummy promised to give them minion toys... sigh...
What you need:
What to do:
-
Cut the yellow colored A4 paper according to the length of a toilet paper roll (enough to cover the entire roll)
-
Put double sided tape across each corners of the yellow paper cut-out.
-
Tape the yellow paper cut-out to cover the toilet paper roll.
-
Cut the blue colored A4 paper about 1/3 of the height of a toilet paper roll to make the overalls jeans for the minion.
-
Repeat step 2 for the blue colored paper and tape it around the toilet paper roll from the base.
-
Use your creative hand drawing skills and start drawing the minion face and everything else using the black colored marker pen (I printed a sample of the actual minions faces so I can refer to them when I draw mine)
- Repeat the above steps for the next minion(s).
The expressions on my kiddos face... priceless... and worth embarrassing my hand drawing skills...
The end results in close-up shot!
I hope you enjoy reading my tutorial and do give it a try! :)
