- 3
Layer the blue overalls or denim harness over the yellow shirt, securing the straps comfortably.

Gently place the soft goggle headpiece on your dog's head, adjusting the elastic strap under their chin so it is snug but not tight.

Minion Dog Costume costume FAQ
- How do I make a DIY Minion dog costume?
- Use a yellow dog t-shirt as the base. Cut out a chest piece from blue felt to look like overalls, fabric-glue it to the shirt, and draw a black 'G' logo on the front.
- What is a 'walking' Minion pet costume?
- It is a step-in costume with padded faux arms on the sides, making your dog look like a standing Minion walking on two legs when viewed from the front.
- How do I make sure the goggle headpiece stays on?
- Use a soft, adjustable elastic chin strap. If your dog shakes it off, you can attach flat felt goggles directly to a comfortable yellow dog collar instead.
