IMPORTANT: Craft foam is very light weight but even so many dogs do not like having things on their heads. Please don’t force a hat onto your dog if it bothers them. You always want to place your dogs comfort as a priority.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nPrint out our patterns. Measure your dog around the neck, body etc. Cut out test versions on paper, adjusting as necessary for your dog. Once you’ve got the right size, cut out the pieces on your foam. Pay attention to which pieces have to be cut on the fold. ![\"No](\"http:\/\/ourpeacefulplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/No-Sew-Small-Dog-Halloween-Costume-Idea-6.png\")

Mad Hatter Dog Halloween Costume<\/h1>\n
This costume is fairly detailed. Remember, the patterns are one size and you will need to adjust them for your dog.<\/p>\n

Wizard (Gandalf) Dog Halloween Costume<\/h1>\n
The hat on this one is a bit tricky. After measuring for your dog, cut out templates on paper to test how they go together. We did a paint wash on ours but that’s not necessary.<\/p>\n

Bat and Angel Wings Dog Halloween Costume<\/h1>\n
This is a very simple costume. We did learn that the wings tended to slip around the dog so it needs an extra brace from the body piece to the dogs collar to hold it into place. We also\u00a0 added a pipe cleaner halo to the angel wings but it was a bit wobbly.\u00a0 ![\"Unique](\"http:\/\/ourpeacefulplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/No-Sew-Small-Dog-Halloween-Costume-Idea-27.png\")

It was fun watching Barnaby run around with this on. The wings will flop up and down as if he was trying to take flight. This one did need the added brace as shown on the pattern to help keep it from slipping. ![\"Unique](\"http:\/\/ourpeacefulplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/No-Sew-Small-Dog-Halloween-Costume-Ideas-Barnaby-Wings.png\")

Your little dogs can be part of the Halloween festivities with these darling small dog Halloween costume ideas. All you need is some inexpensive craft foam sheets, glue and Velcro.\u00a0 We’ve got all the pattern basics you can download. Keep in mind that these are general patterns as each dog is unique so you’ll have to adjust them for your little guy or gal. These are super lightweight. And of course a special thank you to our daughter Amy’s little dog Barnaby who was beyond tolerant in trying on our costumes. He got a treat after each outfit though so he was a pretty happy camper.<\/p>\n![\"jennifer.ashton\"](\"http:\/\/ourpeacefulplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/jennifer.ashton.png\")
The Mad Hatter, Wizard and Superman costumes were the creation of my daughter Jennifer and her son, our grandson, Ashton. While visiting us for a week they spent an entire day brainstorming ideas, created the patterns and then assembling the costumes.![\"craft.foam\"](\"http:\/\/ourpeacefulplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/craft.foam_.png\")
