We’re not going to cut the triangular flaps off, but instead we will later glue them to the inside to create a soft edging around the hole – and to prevent it from fraying or looking messy.Ĭut off the feet of the minion, just above the point where the blue fabric meets the yellow fabric of the feet. This is what it should look like once you cut along those lines. We’re going to do a pie-cut, so draw lines like this that we’ll cut along. The circumference of the circle you cut should be just bigger than the vertical circumference of your dog’s head. We want to cut a hole in the front of the face just below the minion’s goggles for the dog’s face.
