How to Create a Pound Puppy Costume

If you want to create your baby’s Halloween costume but do not know if you can swing the commitment, this super cute pound puppy costume may be just the project you are looking for.

Things You'll Need

• Old hooded sweatshirt
• 2 Pair old socks
• Hypoallergenic face makeup

Instructions

1. Cut the hood off a hooded sweatshirt to use as the base for the puppy’s head. Next cut a white or black sock in half to use for puppy’s floppy ears. You can super glue or sew them onto the hood. While we’re tearing up socks, take another pair and cut the ends off about the length of your hands. Slide them up over Baby’s hands and tuck them into the sleeves of his shirt. Now he has puppy paws!

2. Add the body. Any soft worn shirt will do that goes along with the color of your “puppy’s” head. If it’s chilly out you can add layers of puffy clothes to add to the chubby affect of the puppy as well as keep Baby warm.

3. Finish up with just a tiny bit of make up to puppy up Baby’s face. A simple black nose may be all you need to complete your pound puppy. This is up to you. Be creative but be mindful of Baby’s sensitive skin. Also, try to avoid safety pins when constructing Baby’s costume.

4. Know your baby is cute. If you are still unsure, keep in mind that Baby is going to look adorable in anything. Sometimes the more flawed the outfit, the sweeter the affect. This is the perfect time in your child’s life to take on such a project and decide whether home made Halloween costumes is a tradition you want to start.
