Puppy Fairy Costume Wings

Step 7 Measuring and Cutting a Harness

Use either the piece of felt (Or whatever fabric you've chosen to make the harness out of) or a measuring tape, to measure out how much you'll need to wrap snugly around your dog's midsection. It has to be sort of snug other wise the weight of the wings (However minimal) will cause them to make the harness slip and fall to the side. Make sure to allow for overlapping so that you can attach the Velcro on both ends.

You could always use a fabric that matches the color of your dog, but since its sort of a cute little costume, having nice coordinated colors appeals to me.

Measure her shoulders as I like to add little shoulder straps for extra stability (It may seem a bit too much, but Ive found its necessary to kept the whole thing from being wiggled down off the puppy).

Mark out and cut the felt and lay it all out, cutting a small strip to go over the joint of the wings. You can mark with a pencil to show where it all lays out if you feel it will help it all go smoothly.
