I was grateful that there was a rich resource of DIY Minion costume readily available on the Internet. I immediately fell in love with the idea of being a Minion on Halloween!!Ī quick Google search further reinforced my determination to be this cute character. So the search dragged on until I came across a Halloween throwback photo from my high school classmate on Facebook two days before the big day. I like to be creative but when it comes to costume, I just lack the talent. My younger sister is a fan of DIY costumes but she was far away in college, probably busy making her own. While I kept searching for a broom (or pondering whether I should make my own), I started to look at the alternatives. Apparently it wasn’t as easy as I thought to complete a costume of an ordinary, classic witch these days. My mother suggested to buy a real broom but the selections I found in the retail stores looked too modern to me (and by the way who would want to carry a real broom to work?!). It never occurred to me that it could be such a pain to find a broom! A visit to another Walmart didn’t solve my problem and how Party City carried a variety of witch costumes but not a single broom (or not having enough brooms in stock?) was beyond me.

All I needed was a witch broom and I would be all set for my first ever Halloween party at work. A drive to Walmart and Target gave me a witch costume and a witch hat. My original plan (if this is what you call a plan) was to get whatever I could fit in from a store and claim it my Halloween Costume of 2014. Well, to be honest, I didn’t plan to be a Minion until two days before Halloween. P.S.Ever since I posted my Halloween photos on Facebook, a lot of my friends had asked me where I got the idea of making the Minion costume.

I also wanted the goggles to be on the hat, not on their faces, as I thought that might irritate them. I love these goggles from Playing with Scissors (found on Pinterest), but I wanted to use hard hats, rather than a beanie (because it’s Summer here and a beanie might be too hot). We were invited to a fancy dress party a couple of weeks ago and the boys knew they wanted to dress up as Minions (they are BIG fans of Despicable Me)!
