Retro Canine Plushy Costumes

This DIY Halloween Outfit Turns Your Dog into a Beanie Baby Toy

— October 17, 2015 — Lifestyle
Turn your puppy into an adorable Beanie Baby for Halloween with this super simple at-home costume design. This costume features a small wearable collar rather than a suit making it much more easier on your dog to enjoy wearing.

Beanie Babies use to be some of the most sought-after stuffed animals during the 90s -- so much so that many of them became collector's items. The trick to keeping their value and worth was keeping the infamous TY official Beanie Babies tag that would come attached to the stuffed animal's ear intact. This DIY costume plays off of this notion by recreating an oversized red TY tag using felt. The costume features a red heart-shaped felt piece with TY glued overtop in white felt. The tag is attached to a ribbon collar and secured onto your dog's neck.

3. Comfortable Pet Apparel - Opportunity for pet apparel companies to develop comfortable and easy-to-wear pet costumes, like the wearable collar design, to ensure pets are happy and safe during festive occasions.
