The Minion Movie is coming and our kids can’t wait for us to get tickets through Fandango to see it in theaters . In preparation for the movie we wanted to come up with an easy and fun DIY Minion craft, and that’s when we came up with this easy DIY Minion Coin Bank!
Since Minions work for an evil boss, they surely will need a place to hold their loot. Using just a Pringles can, construction paper, and some google eyes you can make a Minion bank of your very own!
Supplies You Will Need
- Pringles Can – (We used a snack size but a full size will work too)
- Construction Paper – (Yellow, Blue, Black)
- Google Eyes
- Spray Adhesive – (Optional)
- White Glue
- Scissors
- Sharpie Pen
- Paper Trimmer (Optional)
The first thing you’ll want to do is pull out a piece of yellow construction paper. This will be for the Minion’s body.
Wrap the yellow construction paper around the Pringles can.
Cut off the excess portion of the yellow construction paper (that part that is above the top of the Pringles can).
Using a trimmer (or scissors), clean up the edges of the construction paper.
Using Elmer’s Spray Adhesive (or Elmer’s White Glue), cover the back of the construction paper.
Place the glue-covered construction paper on the Pringles can.
Wrap around and smooth the construction paper around the Pringles can.
Next, you’ll be cutting the blue paper to make pants for little Minion. Use a trimmer or scissors to do this.
Spray the blue construction with Elmer’s Spray Adhesive (or use Elmer’s White Glue).
Wrap the glue-covered blue construction paper around the Pringles can. This will be the trousers.
Next, you’ll want to use scissors (or a trimmer) to cut the suspenders for the Minion’s trousers.
We just cut a long strip of blue construction paper and then cut it in half – giving us 2 strips – perfect for suspenders.
Glue or use spray adhesive to adhere the suspenders to the Pringles can.
Next, you’ll want to cut a strip of black construction paper for the Minion’s glasses. You can use scissors or a trimmer for this.
Use Spray Adhesive or White Glue to adhere the black glasses strip to the can. Trim off any excess amount.
Use White Glue to adhere the google eyes to the can.
You can use either one or two for the eyes, since there are one-eyed Minions and two-eyed Minions.
Your Minion Coin Bank is looking pretty awesome! Now, it’s time to draw a mouth.
Use a black Sharpie pen to draw a smile on your Minion.
What a happy Minion we have!
Next, we’ll want to cut a hole in the lid.
Use a pair of scissors to carefully cut a hole in the top. Make sure it’s big enough to fit your coins.
Now that your Minion Coin Bank is complete, it’s time to fill it up with coins!
The Minion Movie is coming to theaters on July 10th! Be sure to get your tickets through Fandango and enjoy!
