When it comes to everyone's favorite villains, the adorably cute and insanely mischievous minions immediately come to mind! These crazy critters were the inspiration for our recent Despicable M3 Minion Party. We set out to create an amazing Minion inspired party backdrop and dessert table to make our party a success. Now, we are sharing our tips and DIY ideas for you to recreate this Minion party look at home with ease!
We knew we wanted our backdrop to be a giant Minion, so we started by layering a Fadeless® Art Paper Roll - Yellow and Fadeless® Art Paper Roll - Brite Blue to highlight the Minions yellow color and their signature overalls.
Next, we created our own giant set of Minion googles for our over sized Minion. Start by adhering the Enormous Googly Eyes to the Metallic Silver Paper Dessert Plates using a bit of hot glue. Once the eyes are set, adhere the plates to the backdrop. Then, use the goggle straps from a pair of Minions™ Goggles to finish up the look!
We wanted our oversized Minion to have some crazy hair. Trim a few black Chenille Stems and adhere to the Fadeless® Art Paper Roll - Yellow with even more hot glue.
Now that the Minion is complete, add some festive details to the table. Start by hanging a Blue Tassel Garland across the front of the table. Then, using a Small Helium Tank, blow up the Citrine Yellow 11" Latex Balloons and Enormous Googly Eyes and attach them to the top of the Blue Tassel Garland with a bit of double stick tape.
Make cute DIY centerpiece by painting a DIY Flower Box Centerpiece with Crayola Yellow Acrylic Paint and adding some custom-made goggles using a Goggle Pumpkin Decorating Craft Kit, Pint Ball Mason Jar lids and some Chenille Stems!
Display our Minion Banana Pudding Cup Recipe on top of the DIY minion centerpiece for an extra cute and super yummy detail. We displayed the pudding in Tiny Pedestal Clear Cups with a Minions™ Cupcake Pick.
Create the Minions' adorable hats by adding some sticker eyes from the Goggle Pumpkin Decorating Craft Kit to the Kids' Construction Hats. These make great decorations and props for the kids to enjoy at the party!
Bring in a couple festive centerpieces and use the Small Helium Tank to inflate 2 Despicable Me™ Mylar Balloons. Display them on the side of the dessert table. Looking for more Minion themed fun?
