All items were purchased for under $30, this makes a great gift or addition to the garden.
Items needed:
6 Total Terra Cotta Pots
*2-8” pots. For the body we are using two 8.25” pots from home depot, these pots are a little bit shorter than traditional pots, this gives the minion a more compact look.
*4-3” pots for the arms and legs we are using four 3” pots from Amazon. These pots give our minion the right dimensions. You could substitute for 4” pots if desired. amzn.to/3oHcoWl
Rope: 6’ of rope. Make sure that the rope is thick enough that it will fit through the holes in the pot and won’t slip out when a knot is tied. Ours is from Home Depot at it was $.60 total
Paint: - The more glossy the better
*Yellow, You want a bright cheery yellow, we used the color “English Daisy” by BEHR from Home Depot in a Satin Finish that is a sample size. $3.48
*Blue, a nice rich blue, we used the color “Brilliant Blue” by BEHR from Home Depot in a Satin Finish, sample size. $3.48
*White, as pure as you can get it, we used “White” by Apple Barrel in Satin Finish #21954E from Amazon amzn.to/2HNCjLs
*Black, as pure as you can get it, we used “Black” by Apple Barrel in Satin Finish #21985E from Amazon amzn.to/34JwXcG
Stencil: - We have a free stencil for different size pots or if you want, you can draw the minion freehand. Stencil Downloads:
Brushes: You can use any kind of brushes you want, however we found that a variety pack worked best for us, because of the different pot dimensions and detail work. We used a 20 brush pack from Amazon amzn.to/3oGsboa
Pencil: For tracing our stencil
Tape: For securing the stencil to the pot.
Polyurethane: If your minion is going to be outside it would be a good idea to use a protective coating of some sort, this will help to preserve the color and defend against water and uv rays. We have found that a spray polyurethane is the easiest to apply just spray it on, wait for it to dry then you’re ready to go. Amazon: amzn.to/3mJ2RvW

Is it possible to use spray paint as the base?? Great video!! Looking forward to trying to make these. 😀

[@EasySimpleGardening]

Yes, spray paint works well as a base

Do you still have the stencils available for the minion flower pots? I can't get them from the link in the description.

[@carolcameron6578]

Were you able to get the stencils?

[@kobigigi]

The links for the stencils are broken, could you please upload them?

[@carolcameron6578]

It is totally unfair that the links for the stencils do not work and that you DO NOT fix them.

[@EasySimpleGardening]

Here is a link to the stencil, you are going to have to do some work and cut the pieces out but it works wonderfully. lh5.googleusercontent.com/-O3k_lYjOMTY/VggBx5CfE2I/AAAAAAAAAEY/VvMSwp63hDs/w446-h577-no/minion%2Bstencil%2Bshort.jpg
