One of my best sellers is the Despicable Me Minion Inspired hat. The funny thing is I started making these long before I saw the movie. I kept seeing commercials for the movie and they just started popping up more and more. I had a local customer ask me to make a minion hat and I thought sure seemed easy enough. Then like wildfire word of mouth advertising spread and I have made what feels like a million of them or as my daughter joked "a minion of them" I won't lie a few times I have thought of retiring from minions the yellow yarn has gotten to me a few times. Ironically when I did try to stop making them I got orders for Sponge bob, Lego men etc. YELLOW! ha! After I finally got around to watching the movie I fell back in love with these goofy little critters. I'm not a huge fan of animation, kids movies, or well movies in generally but I did laugh quite a bit at those little guys. I have several minion orders going on right now so today I made an adult one to fit on our lovely model. I usually use my kids or customers to model hats. When I found a deal on a mannequin head I figured it would be fun. The kids have found a lot of joy in putting her in different locations around the house. Best one yet I think was my oldest calling my name while I was taking the dog out I look up and see the mannequin hanging out the window. We have yet to "name" the head so if you can come up with something clever enlighten us!
