ROCKET DOGS!

Everyone knows that this country is guarded by an elite force of dogs. Dogs who wear rocket jet packs and fly. If you didn't know that well now you do!
I was first inspired by Natalie at Doodle craft to make Romeo and Buddy's "Rocket Dogs" halloween costumes, after seeing what she came up with for her young son to wear and play with. Thought it could be made into a costume for my dogs!
First I spray painted two water bottles:

And then added felt Flames:

Then I took two of the dogs old coats and made a t-shirt transfers for them

Then I simply attaced the water bottles with some Tywraps and ty-wrap self adhesive holders that where attached to the Rockets so I could re-use the dog's coats.
The end result:

2 HOWLOWEEN COSTUME FOR MY PUPS! A few decals from nasa and such on the jet pack rockets and it will be finished!

Romeo's Halloween Costume

" I will kill you in your sleep"

So I know everyone has been sitting on pins and needles to find out what Romeo will be this year for Halloween. And since his best friend Sammy Cat is no more, Romeo and I discussed it and decided he will be Sammy Cat in honor of his feline friend. Was simple to make, I made a custom dog T-shirt at Cafe Press, got together some cat ears that I had to customize by drilling a small hole in the bottom of the head band base, then installed a rubber band to tighten it when Romeo is in cat mode! The tail is from one of the hanging upside down planters I made last summer. Now he is ready for Halloween!

DIY Halloween Costumes

Looking for a great costume for a party? Or does your little candy beggar want to be all original? Why not make your own costume- perfect oppurtunity for resuing materials, saving money. There are a plethora of sites to go to to make your own unique costume. One of my current favorites is "Filth Wizardy Blog" Her blog she shows how to make Storm trooper helmets out of milk jugs, as well as Batman masks, and even a light sabre out of a balloon and just a spot light.
