If you have a large (light weight) stuffed animal laying around or you want to pick one up – your pooch can be go as lunch this Halloween !

DIY Dog Halloween costumes range in difficulty, this idea is for those that know their way around a sewing machine and have a bit of time. This pet carrier team / package carrier dog costume is fabulous.  You need to make a faux-package that goes across their mid section, one dog outfit in one color that goes across their front paws and around their head. One outfit that goes across their back paws and butt. On each costume you will put fake paws in the two top spots and the back costume will also have a fake dog head.  Get your needles and thread out!

If your pooch is white, he or she could be the next bullseye! Some red face paint and a stead hand are all that are required to make the concentric circles are his/her eye!

For Star Wars fans or any geeky guys out there – this At-At costume went viral the other year.  It’s another difficult costume that (if done correctly) requires some cardboard or foam fabrication, fabric sewing, and fabric spray painting!

If all else fails, make a mane for your pooch and turn him into a lion! Some furry fabric from the arts and crafts store sewn like a sleeve should do!
