Our Pug’s Grandma came up with the idea to turn an Old Navy baby costume, a bat, into a Homemade Dog Costume.
We simply added a coat hanger to the wings through a small hole so that they would stand up. Then we ironed on the words “Bat Pug” on the back down the middle. We could have put some elastic in it and added some more special touches but I wanted to keep it simple.
The coat hangers worked awesome because if they got smushed by a door or wall we could just straighten them back out.
We fortunately get to take Lucky trick or treating at a place nearby that has a day just for dogs that want to get “candy.” We get to take him door to door and collect yummy treats. He loves it and this year we get to take our new pug only one year old which should be exciting.
It was a cute costume and we could have kept editing and adding but we kept it simple and he looked awesome!
Just remove the bat ears and you have a swimming penguin.
