Gru Despicable Me Costume DIY
In this guide, we’ll show you how to put together the perfect Gru costume for a night of mischief and mayhem. We’ll also provide the product details of the officially licensed outfit. Here’s to Gru and all his minions!
Start off with the bald plastic cap. Secure the bald cap to the head with spirit gum, trimming off any excess material. Use a makeup sponge to apply a thin layer of makeup to blend the cap with the skin tone.
Carefully affix the Gru’s nose to the bridge of your nose, ensuring it is properly aligned and not too tight. Use spirit gum to secure the nose and blend the edges with a makeup sponge if necessary.
Put on a dark grey turtleneck sweater. Ensure the fit is comfortable by pulling it over the head and adjusting it around the neck and shoulders. Stretch the fabric as needed to ensure an even fit.
Layer the black zip-up jacket over a turtleneck sweater for a classic look. This black jacket with grey accents is a signature part of the ensemble.
Now it’s time to wear a pair of slim-fit black dress pants. Secure the button and zip closure, then adjust the fit around the waist, hips, and thighs to ensure a natural look.
Position the soft knit striped scarf to ensure that it drapes over the shoulders in an aesthetically pleasing way while being securely fastened to prevent any risk of slipping during wear.
Once the desired clothing has been put on, Gru’s signature black boots should be put on last to complete the look. It is important to ensure the size fits properly and is not overly tight or loose.
With these steps complete, your Gru costume is now ready. You can now go out and have a great time in your outfit. If you’ve noticed a similarity among the costumes for Gru, Gargamel from the Smurfs, Uncle Fester from “The Addams Family,” and a Dark Reaper may hail from different universes, but their costumes share some striking similarities.
