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
Dog costumes are so cute! With this costume my son won 1st prize at his school. I dressed him in brown pants and t-shirt that he already owned. Next, I made a hood with ears that attached at the neck with Velcro. A grosgrain ribbon was added for the collar. I put a little black … Read more
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 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
