Making the Headpiece
The most distinctive feature of Vector’s costume is his oversized head. For this, you will need to begin with a cardboard box that fits over your head. Cut out a hole for your face and two holes for your eyes. Then, cover the entire box with orange foam sheets, using your glue gun to secure them in place. Cut out two large circles from yellow foam sheets and glue them onto the sides of the head for Vector’s ears. Finally, use black paint to add the details of Vector’s face, such as his eyebrows, mustache, and goatee.
Creating the Jumpsuit
Vector’s orange jumpsuit is another essential part of his costume. If you unable to find an orange jumpsuit that fits in your size, you can easily create one by dyeing a white jumpsuit into an orange one. Once you have your jumpsuit, use black paint or a marker to add the details of Vector’s suit, such as the black stripes on the arms and legs, the white collar, and the pocket on the chest.
Adding the Finishing Touches
To complete your Vector costume, you will need to add a few finishing touches. Use yellow foam sheets to create Vector’s belt and buckle, and glue them onto the jumpsuit. For his shoes, wear a pair of black sneakers, and cover them with orange foam sheets to match the jumpsuit. Finally, don’t forget to wear a pair of black gloves to mimic Vector’s hands.
With these simple steps, you can create a unique and memorable Vector costume that is sure to impress. This DIY costume is perfect for any Despicable Me fan looking for, either Halloween or a costume party,.
