My roommate and I have been creating our own original costumes for 4 years now and entering the costume contests. We tried looking online for a picture of a hydrant costume (so that we had some ideas on how to create it), but no luck there. For dog costumes you can use an old white … Read more
Because I have twins I tried to think of costumes that would go together, but would also be unique and out of the ordinary. I came up with the idea of a Dalmatian dog and a fire hydrant. I am not sure where the idea came from, but it was fun to do. I simply … Read more
The Dalmation costume was made with a furry fabric and the ears were lined with a soft pink poly/cotton blend. I found the pattern for this costume at our local fabric store. I just made a few modifications (the red ribbon).
This type of costume is and easy crowd pleaser!! All this outfit needs is about 10 dollars and a little cute munchkin. All you do is buy a white sweat suit, and color black dots on it, I used old white Keds and painted them too. I used an old stuffed animal and cut off … Read more
This pick of the litter costume was a fun costume and very easy to make. I went to the dollar store and found a bunch of stuffed puppies and a Dalmatian mask. I took one of Savannah Rose’s white turtle neck shirts and colored Black spots all over it. I cut out the bottom of … Read more
We dressed her up as a puppy by using a black sweatshirt and adding patches of faux fur, white and brown. We added faux fur ears as well and then the rest in black (shoes & pants). We got a box and covered it with brown paper after poking holes into it that will hold … Read more
This is our Homemade Puppies for Sale Halloween Costume. Take a cardboard box and paint the words “Puppies for Sale” on it. Attach stuffed puppies inside the box, arranging them so they peek out. You can also paint your face to look like a puppy. Hope you like the idea!
We have a dog and my eight year old girl is a big dog lover and she really wanted a dogs costume this year. We surfed the internet and decided “Puppies for sale” would be a great theme. We saw lots of great ideas on your site and those were our inspiration to the costume. … Read more
My 21-month-old daughter loves dogs. Every time she sees a dog she yells, “puppy! puppy!” When she sees a new kind of animal and she doesn’t know the name for it yet, she says “puppy!” So it was pretty obvious what she should be for Halloween. I went looking online for ideas of a Homemade … Read more
This Dog Costume was my first homemade costume, but pretty easy to do. I started with a brown sweatsuit which included a hooded sweatshirt. I hand stitched khaki colored felt cut in random, free flowing shapes, all over the sweatshirt and pants. The ears were made of brown and khaki felt. Using fabric glue, I … Read more
I saw many dog costumes online but nothing like this one. You will need: one small box dog treats, news paper and a roll of brown packaging paper, black marker, scissors, puppy dog ears and black Halloween make up, hot glue and stuffed doggies. I took the box and hot glued the brown paper to … Read more
After enjoying a year of extended-by-me maternity leave, funds were low and my husband begged me not to go overboard for my baby’s first Halloween. Realistically, it wasn’t really going to show anyways since he’d be riding in his stroller and I had to put a blanket over him (a cool windy night had been … Read more
