- Wrap ribbon around the pumpkin, about 1/3 of the way down. The ribbon I used was 1/2" but you can go a little bigger or smaller if needed.Black ribbon
- Use hot glue to attach the jar lids. If you don't have jar lids, you can cut circles out of grey or silver craft foam instead.Jar lids, Silver craft foam
- Trace a slightly smaller circle onto white craft foam. You can use an everyday object like a milk jug lid or spice jar cap for tracing.Craft foam
- Use a quarter to trace a circle onto the brown craft foam.Craft foam
- Use a hole punch to make two tiny pupils from black craft foam (you can also use a black sharpie or a dot of black acrylic paint). If you don't have a hole punch, cut two small circles with your scissors. Then use a little bit of hot glue to attach the brown circles to the front of the white ones, then add the pupils.Craft foam
- Glue the eyes onto the silver lids or craft foam.
- Cut a mouth and teeth from black and white craft foam, then glue together to form the minion's mouth. Attach to the pumpkin and your minion is ready for Halloween!Craft foam
Notes
You can improvise with the lids. Use baby jar lids, mason jar lids or whatever else you have around the house. If you only have one, make it a one-eyed minion. You can even substitute gray or silver craft foam.
