How to make Twinkie the Kid costume
| # | Item | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yellow Felt Fabric | First thing you need to do is look like a twinkie. Measure yourself from head to about mid-calf and cut two oblong shapes of that size from this yellow felt fabric. Either sew up the sides (leaving two holes for your arms!) or use fabric glue. Then, cut out a circular hole on the front side of the fabric so your face can be seen. |
| 2 | Giant Cowboy Hat | Twinkie the Kid wears a comical ten-gallon hat that looks normal on him but looks quite big for a human head. Just DIY yours by adding a blue ribbon with ‘Twinkie the Kid’ written in white. |
| 3 | Blue Bandanna | Still in line with his cowboy theme, wear a blue bandanna across your neck just like Twinkie the Kid’s. |
| 4 | Yellow Long-Sleeved Shirt | To keep you feeling comfy inside your Twinkie costume, wear a yellow long-sleeved shirt before putting it on. |
| 5 | Blue Denim Pants | Long before the inception of minions, Twinkie was already sporting the yellow-blue combination so commemorate that by wearing blue denim pants. |
| 6 | Brown Cowboy Boots | A cowboy isn’t a cowboy without his brown cowboy boots so Twinkie the Kid never forgets to wear his. |
| 7 | Brown Work Gloves | To finish off your Twinkie the Kid outfit, put on a pair of plain brown work gloves. |
