Dog Costumes Children

Materials:

• white knit cotton fabric
• black and grey felt (for belt)
• brown yarn
• brown ribbon (for tie)
• velcro

Hair:

1. Measure from ear to ear the top of your dog’s head, the width of the top of the head, and if they have long ears, how long the ears drop down.
2. Take your brown yarn and approximate based on your measurements an adequate length of yarn. I went about 12″ to be safe.
3. Keep gathering your yarn at 12″ intervals from end to end until you see you have enough yarn for a scalp of hair.
4. Using an index card or junk mail flyer (I did this) flatten the yarn hair on the card and center the yarn to create the hairline.
5. Using a sewing machine, sew across the card and yarn in a straight line.
6. Take the yarn + card out form your machine and carefully rip away the card.
7. Place the unfinished hair on your dog’s head and note you’d like the buns to start. Use a piece of yarn to tie this area.
8. To create the buns: sing long strips of yarn twist it in a single strip first and wrap it around to create a bun. Use Aleene’s tacky glue at various points of the bun to set the yarn in place. Do this again for the second bun.
9. Place the buns near your marked area and eyeball how it will look. Then trim the excess yarn from the hair piece.
10. Glue the buns to the end of the yarns from the head piece.
11. To place this on your dog, glue ribbon along the inside of the yarn hair and leave enough room to tie under your dog’s head.
