How To Make Your Own Halloween Costumes For Pets

Pet costumes are becoming more and more approved. If you shop at the right stores, you can smooth get pet costumes ravishing cheap, but sometimes it’s easier to gain your acquire.

The first step into making the perfect costume for your pet is to brainstorm with your families for ideas of what kind of costume. Do you a fairy costume? Do you want your pet to look like a super hero? Be creative, and reflect of pieces that can work for each element of the costume. If you want a fairy, you are going to have to reflect of something you can utilize for wings, or if you can’t reflect of anything, you might have to change your costume. If you are thinking about doing a fairy for your pet (or even for a human) you can use this tutorial I found on YouTube.

The next step after deciding on the outfit and planning out pieces that can work for each element, is to find the costume pieces. If you measure your pet, you can find some clothes at consignment shops for kids that might fit. Depending on whether it is a girl pet or a boy pet, you can check the different kid sections at Goodwill for cheaper prices. If you have a tricky piece, you can find more tutorials on YouTube.

If you decided on a fairy, you can exhaust the YouTube tutorial above for the wings, and you can try to find a pink short sleeve shirt in the girls section, and if you can find one, a pink tutu. If you can’t find a pink tutu, can try to find a matching skirt. Try to avoid pants and shorts for costumes because it may not fit your pet true if you are looking at human clothes. Even if you don’t have a bottom, the costume will still notice great.

Another idea for a pet costume that will suit a boy pet better than a fairy, is a shipshape hero! You can try and glean old batman or superman pajamas at a consignment shop. If you can’t find any, a black short sleeved shirt will still ogle great. For a cape, you can assume a small amount of material and an extra collar, and sew the material onto the collar. You can nick a zig zag design on the end to effect it more interesting. Consume fabric paint to write something on the cape, like “Super Dog” or “SuperBuddy” (if your dog’s name is Buddy).

Making a pet costume is a fun family way to bond with each other. All you need is a little creativity. Most of the ideas you come up with will definitely be under $20, or if planned right, under $10.
