COLOR COMBINATIONS
A simple idea for many holiday occasions is to match the colors of your materials with the colors for that particular holiday.For example, make a pink cape for Valentine's Day and a green cape St. Patrick's Day. For holidays where several colors are used, consider using a base color for the cape, then sewing or gluing on stars, hearts or other shapes in the other colors. Adding some type of hat or crown makes for a more complete dog costume. The hat can be the same color, more than one color, or have complementary colors to the cape.
See Dog Capes and Dog Party Hats for some basic instructions.
