Make a homemade Halloween costume for your dog!

Want to have some fun, be unique, be more green and have your green dog be the bell of the Halloween Ball? Here are some great pet costume ideas and instructions that you can make right at home.

Remember to always use reusable materials you have around your home if you can to make your dog's costume the greenest it can be!

One of our absolute favorite costume ideas is this handmade spider dog costume that Martha Stewart made for her Sharkey. Make it green by using some old black and orange material from a sweatshirt or sweatpants!
