Everyone just adores those mischievous yellow villains known as the Minions! With their cute bespectacled eyes and their crazy hair and nonsensical language, these critters have become beloved by kids and adults alike! For our recent Minion party, we wanted to create adorable candy displays inspired by these banana loving goofballs!

Start creating your DIY Minion Lollipop Bucket by removing a lid from a Pint Ball Mason Jar and pressing it firmly into one of the eyeball stickers from the Goggle Pumpkin Decorating Craft Kit. This will leave the perfect impression in the foam sticker to use as a guideline for you to cut out.

Next, using a few dots of hot glue, adhere the Pint Ball Mason Jar lid around the circumference of the eyeball sticker and hold in place until the glue has sufficiently dried in place.

Once the glue has dried, trim a black Chenille Stem into several pieces and use hot glue to adhere the pieces to the back of the bucket. The chenille stems will look like Minion hair strands!

Once everything has dried into place, fill the Yellow Solid Color Pail to the brim with Black Jelly Beans Candy. These will serve to hold your lollipops in place and can also be snacked on!
