Assembly:
Place the google eyes inside of the goggle edges and then sew on the goggle edges(The black ring from the 'Body' should be at the center of the goggles).  Sew pants on (both) minions so that the 3st (or 4st) flaps are placed at the front and back of the minion.  Sew on arms and legs.  Take the 4ch (or 5ch) straps and sew them onto the right side of the other 3st (or 4st) flap (do this for both sides).  With needle and thread, embroidery on hair and mouth.  

The minions belong to their original creators, but this pattern belongs to me.
