Large Dog Halloween CostumesLooking for large dog Halloween costumes? 
Somehow dressing up a large dog seems more daunting than a little doggie, even though often just more material is needed.By looking at some of the easy large dog Halloween costumes on this site, we hope it will act as a springboard for your own creative projects. The following links lead to some great designs by visitors to this site as well as by attendees at the Dogtoberfest in Jacksonville, Florida, in 2009, who were willing to share their ideas and have their dogs pose for pictures. Note that we have added suggestions for ways to use these concepts in new ways. Super Dog (per above photo) Super heroes offer lots of scope. The key is using a solid-colored shirt and cape as the foundation, then finding or creating the logos and gluing or sewing them on. Wings from WalMart One thing to remember is that you may not have to make every part of a costume. Here are some ideas for using inexpensive items you can buy at a store such as WalMart to dress up your dog. Cat in the Hat If you like to sew or work with felt, this looks like a simple one to make. If you make the top hat and bib out of black-and-white material you'll get a tuxedo or coachman effect. Or make one out of brown material and your dog could be the Mad Hatter! Fauna Old National Geographic magazines are a great source for photos to add to a vest or T-shirt for this animal-themed costume. You could focus on one type of critter such as the big or small cats, birds, fish, reptiles and so on, then think of a catchy phrase to add. For example, "It's for the birds" or "I'm the cat's meow!" Flora Any combination of flowers made out of felt (or other fabrics), construction or neon-colored paper, can be glued or sewn onto a solid-colored vest for this outfit. Cloth strips can be added for ties under the belly. Let's Go Hawaiian Want to match up with your dog? Both of you can look like cool dudes from Hawaii! Or you can use another type of ethnic ensemble made up of lederhosen and a hat with a feather on one of you, and a peasant blouse and skirt on the other. M&M Candy Costume A basic brown T-shirt or vest will provide the background for colorful M&Ms. Or why not consider using a white shirt with black polka dots or an abstract art motif using different geometric shapes, lines and colors on a solid background? Finally, here are two of our own elaborate ideas: Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf and The Dog Rescue Team Think about other possible combinations of humans and animals, such as Little Bo Peep with her lost sheep - use an old fake sheepskin for your dog (if it's not too hot) - Goldilocks and the three bears; an organ grinder's monkey etc. We hope you found some useful things to draw on and remembered to keep it fun!.
