Cutting the Cups

The first step in making your Minion goggles is cutting the cups in half. This is the most important part of the process because the cups will act as the goggle frame. Make sure the cups are circular in shape. Cut the cups leaving two circular frames. You can discard the rest.

Creating Lenses for the Goggles

Cut two circles of about 3 or 4 cm in diameter out of the black construction paper. Then cut two larger circles a little bit bigger out of the same black construction paper.

Now you will need to glue or tape the smaller circles to the center of the larger circles, then set them aside to dry.

Attaching the Lenses to the Frame

Once your lenses are dry, it is time to attach them to the frames. Place your lenses over the center of each of the circular frames and attach them with glue or tape.

Adding the Elastic Band

Take your black elastic band and cut it in half using your scissors. Then, attach each half of the elastic band to the inside of the frames. Make sure it’s not too tight or too loose on your head. Trim off any excess elastic band, and you are done!
