It was fun for us to make and create this last minute costume, something you could put together in just a couple of hours, ready for a night of trick or treating. These minions from Despicable Me are our absolute favorite characters. It’s quick and easy, and oh so cute… Minions!!

We are only days away from Halloween and it’s crunch time people! But have I got the perfect idea for you.
