Dog Halloween Costumes You Can DIY
Shopping for your Halloween costume can be stressful; let’s make Fido’s easier for you! Department store costumes can be pricey and unnecessary for pets who will only wear the outfit once or despise wearing it. DIY projects with your puppy can be an excellent bonding experience! We compiled our top five favorite DIY costumes, including two cone-friendly costumes that will make your pooch feel the spooky spirits!
Ghost
Supplies Needed:
- A white sheet
- Scissors
The go-to easy costume can be for your furry friend too! Grab an extra sheet or pillowcase, cut eye and mouth holes, and ta-da a spooky ghost! Make sure it’s not too long so Fido can still walk around.
Ty Stuffed Animal
Supplies Needed:
- Poster board/Cardstock paper
- Marker
- Ribbon
Your own personal Ty stuffed animal comes to life! Cut out a double-sided heart and color the outside red; write a cute description of your fur baby on the inside. Use a piece of ribbon to attach it to their collar, and you’re good to go!
Loofa
Supplies Needed:
- Yard of tulle or webbed material
- White yarn
- Rubber duck (optional)
WinnieTheGWP slayed Halloween with this bathroom buddy costume! If you’re feeling extra creative, head to your local craft store and pick up some tulle and yard. Scrunch the tulle together to form a loofa shape and attach the white string to the front for decoration.
Painter
Supplies Needed:
- Cone
- Colorful permanent markers or colorful paper
- Paintbrush (decoration)
Pawsitively_Poppy looks adorably spooky in this adorable DIY costume! Decorate their boring cone with colorful paw prints, and then you have a paw-fect painter. Bonus points if you dress as Bob Ross! Don’t let an injury rain on your furry friend’s Halloween adventures!
Martini
Supplies Needed:
- Cone
- Wooden dowel
- Floral foam spheres

We have the perfect costume for pets whose neuter or spay appointment falls before Halloween! Dress up that cone with a nice olive kabob for a puppy martini!
