We made a couple of tiny changes (spray painted plastic bowl from the dollar store for the head because we didn't have time to paper mâché and foam craft balls for the eyes.).

A couple people have asked me this now and some of them did trim off the excess... it takes some of the weight off.

Like others mentioned, there's no such thing as "polywall" here in rural Canada, so I had to improvise and use a foam mat with the same dimensions (it's the type that goes under a treadmill or even at a cashier's station) that I luckily found for 50% off! My paper mache collapsed when the balloons we used started to shrink, so I had to rethink and find another minion costume template to make the head out of the top of the mat. I cut 18-20 petal-shapes and sewed them together with twine and a tapestry needle. I then covered them with fabric to cover the stitches, and instead of the cans and inverted plastic balls, we used empty duct tape rolls and styrofoam balls cut in half. Gotta use what you have available, right? We won 1st place last night!TeacherofTruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11339967869045789519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876175041541762024.post-43071564116905008912013-10-23T23:19:07.208-04:002013-10-23T23:19:07.208-04:00We used a roll of foam as we don't live anywhe...We used a roll of foam as we don't live anywhere close to a large hardware store.
