Minions everywhere!

This is bit more modern present I made last February. It was Valentine's day present for my boyfriend. Again I got the idea bit too late, and I was doing this like mad. But I did manage to finish it on time. So, I tell , with details, about the two parts of the gift. I am glad I did this, as it seemed to be perfect gift for him.
