This year Halloween was not just about me. I was inspired to make my dog a part of the festive holiday. My dog has been dressed up before for different occasions with sweaters and dresses but never for Halloween. My dog is a Yorkie and she has a foxy/wolf look to her, so I decided to get to work on finding a character that she could pull off.
I finally came up with the idea of Wolverine from the X-men. This idea took some preparing.
How I Made the Wolverine Costume
- I started out by creating the steel claws with aluminum foil wrapped around Q-tips.
- I used a white baby t-shirt for Hugh Jackman’s tank top look.
- Then I decided to add some dark jeans that were one of my girlfriend’s jean shorts. I wrapped the shorts around to fit her wrist and added the rip for some effect.
- Wolverine is known for his dog tag so I took a key chain and wrapped it with aluminum foil. Then I looked for a binder with tabs. I found a yellow tab and got the idea to make an x-men symbol. I cut out of a binder tab and drew on it with a black magic marker. I then decided to glued it to the key chain as a clue for the picture.
- I went to Goodwill to search for teddy bears. I was able to find a teddy bear that had leather jacket. I took the jacket off the teddy bear and added it as the final touch.
I placed my dog against the pillows on my bed to get a front view of her. This position was to help her look like she is standing or posing. I placed treats and had another person catch her attention to get her to have the effect of looking away, but still posing.
This costume was fun to make and the experience was even more laughs. The end product was all inspired by the idea that my dog acts like a human, but is an animal and who better to dress her as then as Wolverine from X-men.
