How to Make a Homemade Halloween Zebra
You can make a homemade zebra Halloween costume with household materials and inexpensive craft supplies. You'll have to decide whether you want your zebra to have black stripes over white fur or white stripes over black fur. Then use black or white sweatpants and a black or white hooded sweatshirt as a base for the costume. You won't have to cut or damage the sweatpants or sweatshirt at all to make the zebra costume, so you can continue to wear the clothes after Halloween.
