Since Halloween is just around the corner, I wanted to make a costume for Jersey, and not just *any* costume either. So here's a sample of my creative efforts. I'll be adding more costumes all this month on my blog, Bloggie Stylish. I've entered this costume into the Halloween contest so please vote for me if you like this 'ible. I *want* that sewing machine!!!
Just a quick note! This isn't a costume for a fearful dog. I had a balloon accidentally pop when I was fitting the costume. I know that Jersey doesn't look to thrilled in the pics, but she doesn't like doing anything that's not her idea. She's used to wearing clothes & hearing loud noises. Before you take your dog out in a public place, practice wearing the costume & walking around with it on. That way, the both of you will have a fun Halloween night!

Signing UpStep 1: Tools And Supplies You Will Need
The supplies for this costume are pretty cheap. You'll need some cheap purple broadcloth, purple balloons, some green felt, velcro, needle and thread, zip ties, a flexible measuring tape, a marking pen, scissors and a some sort of string.
I already had the zip ties & velcro, but I got all the other supplies at "malmart" and a dollar store for about $5.00. If you had to buy the rest of the supplies, this costume would easliy cost you under $10.00, which is way cheaper that buying one.

banana, not that's an idea! stay tunes for next halloween!
Make a purple cone around the collar to prevent the dog from choking on the balloons.
Would you put your baby in this costume?
Jersey looks as if she would like a say in this... a nae say.
I love this.
Great instructable!
Got her a purple sweatsuit to pin the balloons on, then found a pair ofdark green tights and used those for a "skull-cap" type ofthing and added some dark green pipe cleaners for the tendrils, andadded some dark and medium green leaves made out of felt sheets. She won a costume contest, so it went pretty well. It was kind ofhard for her to put her hands down, though.
