Hi friends,

Today we have a super cute craft, we share how to “Minion-ize” a gift bag with Minion eyes that includes wearable goggles too!

DIY Minion Giftbag, DIY Minion Goggles, DIY Kevin Minion Giftbag, DIY Bob Minion Giftbag, Costume Goggles, DIY Giftbag & Gift, Despicable Me Characters,

I love to give practical things(boring, I know), even better when they’re affordable and fun. This craft is just that! The recipient gets this cool Minion bag, your gift inside, and goggles for playtime. The craft is inspired by my littlest minion, who is turning 3 this week and celebrating Minion style. “Minons”, have taken over our home. Try out this Minion gift bag and wearable goggles for your special minion.

The Steps

MINION EYES

Trace the outer and inner sides of the ring (shown below) 2x.
Trace the end of the gluestick or medicine syringe for the iris and the end of the marker for the pupil.

3. Before coloring in the pupils with black, leave a small white glare circle on the upper left side, then color the iris’s from the center out:

BOB: 1 green eye (light green with dark green details) and 1 brown eye (light brown with dark brown details).

KEVIN: 2 brown eyes (light brown with dark brown details).

4. Color the goggles and cut around the outer edge.

We traced the outer ring last which was a bit harder.

MOUTH & GOGGLE STRAPS

Draw a wide mouth on the black paper about 3 inches wide and draw teeth the same width on the white paper. Cut them both out and glue them together.
Cut out 2 strips from the black paper about 2 inches wide
Glue the goggles and straps right above the natural center line.
Lastly, draw Kevin’s sprout of hair near the top.

Your bag is done!

GOGGLES

STRAPS

Turn your black paper horizontally, fold it in half, and cut.
Glue 1/2 of the black paper to the felt with plenty of glue and let it dry for about 5 minutes.
Measure (2) 1-inch x 4-inch strips per goggle on the paper side and cut them out.
Fold the straps in half with the paper on the inside.

ELASTIC

Measure your child’s head from ear to ear and add 3-4 inches to that number, then cut out a strip of elastic that same length.
Place the edge of the elastic over the edge of the felt and staple 6-7 times. Stop before you get to the fold you previously created. Repeat with the other end.

ASSEMBLE

Add hot glue between the rings and hold carefully.
Then add hot glue to the paper side of the strap and on the outside of the ring. Carefully press the paper on the inside and outside of the ring. Repeat with the other end.
Cut a small strip of felt to cover the staples and glue it over them. Repeat on the other side.

OPTIONAL DETAILS

Glue 2 mini nuts to the top and bottom of each ring. Ours were dark grey so we painted them a light silver color. Let dry.

Your goggles are done!

These came out so nicely!

Large Minion toys purchased at Dollar Tree, mini Minions are from a board game.

Place gifts inside the bags, tissue paper, and carefully place the goggles over. You will have to bend the felt out a bit so the goggles lay flatter against the bag.

That’s it!

My oldest will also be celebrating a birthday this week. Thankfully they have a few days between their birthdays and then this mom gets to switch up the birthday decor.
