Crafting your minion

Here's a quick guide to help you put together your minion die cut figure, purchased from Made By Millie:

Step 1. Start off by adding your minion body.



Step 2. Glue the minion feet carefully to the minion legs.





Step 3.  Glue the minion legs and feet to the minion body where you would like to position them.




Step 4. Glue on the minion dungarees.





Step 5.  Glue on the white eye.




Step 6.  Glue on the black pupil.




Step 7. Glue on the top and bottom eyelids.




Step 8.  !IMPORTANT! Position but DO NOT glue the silver goggles in place.




Step 9. Line up the black goggle straps (Note that one edge of the goggle strap is straight and one is cut at an angle, the angled side is designed to sit flush with the minion head/body to allow for the goggles to sit at an angle).  Once you are happy with position of goggles and goggle strap glue the straps first, followed by the silver goggles.







Step 10. My favourite bit, make your minion come alive by gluing on the smile.





Step 11.  Position and glue the minion arms in place.





Step 12. Finally add in the minion hands.



 Optional steps, add in banners, greetings to finish off your card/project.



 Example of a valentine card project!





Happy Crafting!
