One look at this adorable corn dog Halloween costume and you're likely asking, "You made that? How?" Well, it's actually easier than it looks! With a few materials you can order on Amazon or pick up at the crafts store, plus some novice- to medium-range crafting chops, you can make your pup an ear of corn dog costume, too. Go ahead and file this one under genius Halloween ideas and the best dog Halloween costumes of all time! Plan to dress up as a farmer yourself (denim overalls, neckerchief, plaid shirt, straw hat) for one of the best dog and owner Halloween costumes you'll see all Halloween night.
Here are the step-by-step instructions for the corn dog costume DIY you never knew you needed.
FOR THE CORN KERNEL BODYSUIT: Start with a yellow bath mat large enough to wrap around your dog’s torso (look for one with texture that resembles the shape of corn kernels, like the yellow chenille bath mat we used). Use a dog coat or jacket you already have as a template to trace and cut out the bodysuit shape, which should include straps to wrap around the torso and the neck. Apply strong sticky-back Velcro to secure the straps.
FOR THE HUSKS: With a wire cutting tool, snip artificial green leaves off a stem from the crafts store (we bought two stems for a 15-pound Shih Tzu) and arrange to look like husks. Overlap as needed to cover the lower half of the kernel bodysuit. Hot glue to the corn kernel bodysuit, tucking edges under for a finished look.
FINISH THE LOOK: Loosely tie a red bandana around dog’s neck, and place a small straw hat with adjustable strap to its head.
