Drape the sheet over your dog's head and body so that it falls evenly. 2. Pin the spots that hang past the dog's feet, marking it for a future cut. 3. Use your pen to mark the spots where your dogs eyes, ears and snout are and make a small, subtle mark where his neck begins to demark where you will later attach the elastic to prevent the sheet from sliding off. 4. When everything is marked, remove sheet and cut holes for the ears, eyes and nose. 5. Cut the edges of the sheet so that the dog's feet will be free from excess fabric. 6. Attach the elastic on the inside of the fabric where you marked the neck's location. 7. Put the costume on and enjoy! Since sheets and elastic can still cost money- we've also included some of our most-popular (highly affordable) costumes!
