Do you want a Snoopy Costume this Halloween? Who wouldn't love dressing up like a cute, chunky little dog for Halloween? First of all, and you know it's true, women love dogs. Secondly, if you can't think of another dog inspired costume all on your own from all of the awesome dog characters already out there then I will give you an example. So, how about dear old Snoopy?
Everyone knows about Snoopy. He's that great, lovable, non-speaking dog from the Charlie Brown cartoons that we've all come to love. And you're in luck because it's actually pretty easy to make a costume of Snoopy. So let's get started.
To start, you will need 2 plain white, unfitted bed sheets. And don't even try using pillow cases either because it won't work. Remember, they need to be at least twin size depending on how big you are. First, line the two sheets up with one right next to the other on the floor so that you can easily spread them out full length and flatten out all of the wrinkles too. Plus, be sure to fix them so that you can easily fold one over the other when needed.
Now, get your hot-glue gun and make a hot-glue oval on only the top one third of the sheet. Next, quickly and carefully fold it over onto the other sheet and press it down so that the glue bonds the two sheets together. This will eventually be Snoopy's face. Cut this part out and lay it to the side.
Next, make two boxing-glove sized circles with the rest of the sheet. Use the hot-glue to outline them the same way that you outlined Snoopy's face. Fold the sheet over each circle and press down. These will be Snoopy's paws - an intricate part of any Snoopy Halloween costume. Remember to make them large enough so that you can put your hands in them. Cut them out and set to the side. I find that the girls love the paws even more if they are more on the large side.
Next, take your two cut circles and your large oval head and cut smaller half circle into the sides of each. The circle should cut into the hot-glue portion. These holes will be where you put the stuffing through to fluff up the pieces. They will also be where you put your hands through. Keep in mind that you will be wearing Snoopy's head like a hat, so don't make that hole so big that your head falls through it.
Lastly, stuff the three pieces. You may use anything you have available, but the best stuffing is any material that is fluffy and soft. Take a Sharpie marker and mark in the nose, eyes, spots, and claws. Be sure to put a big smiley face on Snoopy too.
Add some white tight or sweats to cover the rest of your body and a pair of white tennis shoes and socks and you're done. On Snoopy's face, cut two slits near the hole for you head and find ribbon, string, or shoe laces to tie it down to your head.
Now it's time for some fun - So go grab Linus, Charlie Brown, Woodstock and the rest of the Peanuts gang and let's all go find the Great Pumpkin together. You are ready to rock the town in your awesome Snoopy costume this Halloween.
