DIY Dog Bat Costume

Dress your dog as a bat for Halloween! Cut bat wings out of a piece of cardboard and cut pieces of black fabric to match the cardboard wings with a little extra material along the top edge. Sew the edges of the fabrics around the cardboard and sew the edge of the extra top material shut. Straighten a wire hanger and feed each end of the hanger into the seams along the top edges of the wings. Cut strips of fabric to wrap around your dog’s body and chest, attach Velcro to the ends of the belly strap, sew one side of the chest strap onto the belly strap and attach pieces of Velcro to the other end of the chest strap. Cut a small strip of fabric, place the center of the hanger across the top of the belly band and sew the edges of the fabric over the hanger.
