Low on cash, high on creativity? Save your money and make your dog’s Halloween costume for a couple of bucks. We’ll tell you what you’ll need and how to do it.

I’m not the craftiest person on the planet, but I do dabble in the art. My sewing skills are basic – loose buttons and small rips are all I can handle. After seeing my latest credit card bill, I made the decision to cut back on spending… and that meant no new Halloween costumes for Oscar. The only way he could make a fashion statement on October 31 is if I got creative with my design skills. That’s the inspiration behind this DIY Halloween Costumes for Dogs series!

First up is Oscar’s Chia Pet Costume. This famous “As Seen on TV” potted plant is adorable when a pet is parading in it. It’s easy to make and cost me $5.

    Try the onesie on your dog. Tuck and pin the front flap inside the onesie, giving your dog enough room to pee. Take the onesie off your dog before you start to sew or glue.
