So.. Call me cheap, but I wanted minion balloon weights but I didn't want to pay $11 each for a minion stuffed animal at the store so I decided to make my own out of felt. These are for my son's 3rd birthday party. This is a fun project that can do for your kids for a birthday party for decoration or WITH them just for fun (just use Elmer's glue instead of a hot glue gun.)

What you'll need:
Felt: Yellow, Black, Gray and Blue
Hot Glue Gun or Elmer's Glue if your toddler is helping
Wiggley Eyes
Pattern
Sewing Pins (For pinning your pattern to the felt for easy cutting.)
Polyfil (Stuffing)
Fabric Scissors
Pattern (Printer to print it) Get the pattern here: http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm174/shandyhayden6/Minion%20Printable_zps7wgf4ham.jpg
Step 1.
Cut out all your pattern shapes in the appropriate colors. Pin your pattern to your felt to make this step easier.
Body - Yellow
Arms - Yellow
Gloves - Black
Boots - Black
Goggles - Gray
Overalls - Blue
Step 2. Glue Overall Straps like so and then place the overalls over the straps and glue down.
Step 3. Put the strap for the goggles on and glue down. Next glue the gray circle for the goggles and then add a dab of hot glue to the wiggly eye and glue down as well.
Step 4. Glue your 2nd yellow body piece to the back of your minion and glue your yellow arm piece to your hand to look like the minion is wearing gloves. When gluing your 2nd yellow body piece to the back, leave holes for the boots, hands and in the top so you can stuff it with polyfil.
Step 5. Glue your hands and boots on. Fill with polyfil and then glue the top closed. You're done!
