You still haven't watched the Despicable Me cartoon? And you can’t even imagine who the minions are? But your child is already well aware of them. Bothers with questions: "When will you buy this home. What to do?"
Mignon, who are you?
To begin with, let's understand what kind of cartoon this is - "Despicable Me". Currently, he is very popular with the youth of America. It is very popular among adults.
The main characters are special creatures - minions. They have a short yellow body that resembles a chicken egg in shape. They look at the world through the lens with one eye. Work at the malicious Grew. They are distinguished by a special innocence, they are not at all in conflict, but they do not possess a great mind, therefore, probably, they work with such an evil creature.
In the work, these creatures are very executive and can be quite useful. In the cartoon, the working days of the minions are very colorfully described.
Solution
So, to summarize the above: you need a yellow “little man” on short legs with one eye. Now that at least approximately we know whom to look for, we will act. You have to go buy.
But it was not there. Due to the low popularity in our country to buy such a toy in the store, if the opportunity presents itself, it’s rather rare. What to do if a child simply raves with at least one minion, but it is better to have a crowd of such creatures? There is a solution: you need to do it yourself. The most accessible material for work for us is clay. So how to mold a minion from plasticine?
Work Stages
Let's try to consider this option in detail. So, we sculpt a plasticine minion. Although it can be made from other appropriate materials (clay, mass for modeling , etc.). The service life of the finished product will depend on the properties of the material.
But this is all superfluous, it's time to still answer the question of how to mold a minion from plasticine. We take a board for modeling, stacks and plasticine. If you copy the original, then you need to take clay yellow, blue, black, gray, white and brown.

We make panties. We take plasticine of a different color (we will have blue) and from two flat stripes we form a jumpsuit to our creature. Stick the strips to the lower torso. Take the rectangle made and attach there, but in a different direction.
We continue to make out overalls. We take two plasticine sausages, they will serve as straps. In place of the tummy we make a pocket. Then we “sew” the black buttons. One - in place of a pocket, two smaller - in place of fastening the straps. With a sharp object (an awl, a needle) along the edge of the pocket we make small indentations - we create the appearance of a seam.
Stage Three
We make our minion the arms and legs. Do not forget that he should have three fingers on his hands, as in a cartoon. Handles are made of the same color as the body. Black plasticine legs.
Stage Four
We make a face. Sculpt the eyes (you can make one-eyed) of brown plasticine with a black pupil. From sausages of black color we make temples of glasses. Attach to a white lens bordered with gray plasticine.
We’ll take care of the expression on the face of the minion. We draw a crooked smile to him. We take a sharp stack and squeeze a slightly uneven bend in the place of the mouth.
Fifth stage
In conclusion, we will arrange a haircut for our hero. We sculpt a long thin sausage from black plasticine. We divide it into six equal parts. Although it is possible and more. It all depends on your desire to work on the density of hair. Next, on the head into the holes made, as if we plant the obtained hairs.
