Despicable Me Birthday ... INSIDE the Gift Bags (Minion Goodies Made)

Next on the list was the goody bags we passed out to the kids that came. I was so tickled even with the crazy rain we got we had 20+ kids show, which was hard since I only made 20 gift bags. I have to make up one for Cole and my friends son.

As most of you know I HATE treat bags full of candy or dollar store items. I use to not do goody bags for this reason. Then when I got on the crazy train of themed parties I started to find items to make that are in theme.

First off I started with the gift bags (here is the post showing the step by step on how to make). Then I got busy with making the items to go into the bags.

Now What to put into them?

Dr. Nefario's Anti-Gravity Serum (Bubbles)

Dr. Nefario's Glasses

Minion Twinkies

Minion Perler Bead Knecklace

Minion Perler Bead

Minion Color's Rainbow Bracelet

Yellow Glow Stick

Now to show you how to make the items:

Dr. Nefario's Anti - Serum

Dr. Nefario's Glasses

I ordered off Amazon and added a little label

(I have a link at bottom of post for printables I used)

A little hot glue and your done!!

Pictures of the Kids and some adults in the glasses

Next to make were Minion Necklaces

I did square ones for the necklaces

I then hot glued the necklace material

Here is how to make:

Minions - Each bag had one

Rainbow Loom Bracelets

Each bag had 2

How to make the Rainbow Loom Bracelets:

Twinkie Minions

I found this idea on The Foley Fam {unedited}

All you need is Twinkies, googly eyes, glue and a sharpie

I wish my twinkies didn't have writing on them like her's

Despicable Me Birthday ... Perler Beads

We are still are on the Despicable Me party train! I have a few more things to show you. I loved the Perler Beads I made for Cole's Minecraft party so I went on the search for ideas to do for Caden's Despicable Me party. I found several websites, DeviantART had a bunch of ideas. We kind of just tweaked what we saw and made it work. I have no templates for you, just click on the picture and you can count how many you need (this was the easiest way to figure it out .. at least that is what I found).

Here are a few of my favs

What you Need:

Perler Beads (found at Hobby store, Black are HARD to find Amazon carries)
Perler Bead Board / Paper
Hot Iron

Make your design, CAREFULLY put the paper on top (almost like a wax paper) and put your HOT iron ontop. BECAREFUL not to leave on too long or it will become mushy. I found that I just pressed down and iron like I would a shirt. Once that side is done flip over take off the board put the paper on the backside that is now facing up and do it all over again. Let them cool and they are ready to go. I did a one figure per bag just like this and then I made another one that I made into a necklace.

Here is a How To Do:
