DIY Tortoise ’80s Girl Costume

Dress your female tortoise in a ’80s-style outfit! Cut a ribbon to the size needed to wrap around your tortoise’s shell and overlap slightly, and attach Velcro fasteners on the ends. Use the same type of ribbon to make a large bow, then glue the bow onto the shell strap. Cut a rectangle of jean material to the size needed for your tortoise and glue the top edge of the rectangle under the shell strap, folding the material slightly as you do to create pleats. Cut out the middle section of a finger on a knit winter glove, and put the tube on one of your tortoise’s legs for a leg warmer.
