Halloween Costumes for Big Dogs

Halloween costumes for big dogs are easier to put together that you think. I have two big dogs, a St. Bernard and a Newfoundland. I love to dress them up in their Halloween costumes for big dogs because even though they are giant, they are still my cute little puppies and I love to dress them up for Halloween.

Halloween costumes for big dogs can be very simple or more complicated, depending on how much time you want to spend dressing up your dog with their Halloween costumes for big dogs. You can net some ideas on how to create your own Halloween costumes for enormous dogs by reading on.

My favorite Halloween costumes for substantial dogs is a rescue dog costume. I love to dress up my St. Bernard for Halloween in his “Ski Patrol Rescue” costume. I have a little brandy keg that do around his neck and he wears a vest with the words “Ski Patrol Rescue” stenciled on it and if he allows it, we have ski goggles that we attach on him to complete his costume. Halloween costumes for big dogs don’t have to be extravagant to be adorable. You don’t have to own a St. Bernard to be creative when you make Halloween costumes for big dogs. Any larger sized dog will peer cute as a “Ski Patrol Rescue” dog. Halloween costumes for big dogs can include my second costume for bid dogs and that is the “Waft Guard Rescue” dog costume that my Newfoundland, Meadow dresses up as. She has a bright yellow vest that says “water rescue” and she has a doggie inner tube that fits around her huge body, a captains hat and goggles. Our Halloween costumes for huge dogs won us prizes in our local pet parade. Again, you don’t have to be extravagant nor do you need to spend lots of money creating Halloween costumes for big dogs. If you simply use a little imagination, you can create original and snazzy Halloween costumes for big dogs.

Halloween costumes for big dogs can also include props if you are creative and dog will tolerate a little something extra. For my St. Bernard, we saddled him up like a horse with a very lightweight toy saddle and a few lightweight ribbons to represent reins. He also wore a cowboy hat to complete his western horse look. At our local pet parade, lots of Halloween costumes for big dogs included dogs that pulled covered wagons. Again, if your dog will tolerate some lightweight props, these can seek so sweet!

Other Halloween costumes for big dogs that were also popular at the pet parades were colossal dogs that were dressed up like Cleopatra. There was a gorgeous Bernese Mountain Dog that was dressed like Cleopatra and she sat atop a wagon that was decorated like a throne. It was spectacular. Halloween costumes for dogs can also include sled dog costumes. You can get itsy-bitsy bootie type shoes for your dogs, and place some lightweight leases or ribbons on them and they can represent sled or mushers. If you spend your imagination, the possibilities are endless. Of course, Halloween costumes for huge dogs can include clown costumes, rabbit costumes in which you simply put rabbit ears on a lightweight headband and put it on your dog, if he let’s you and Mickey or Minnie Mouse. They sell Mickey and Minnie Mouse ears at Disney stores and they are very lightweight and dogs are usually very accepting of them. The Minnie Mouse ears are cute and have a little pink satin bow on them.

More Halloween costumes for big dogs can include a dinosaur costume in which you can either purchase one or make one out of a few yards of green felt or purple felt if you like Barney and the sew dinosaur spines onto the relieve of the costume by sewing three sides of a piece of felt and stuffing the open hole with quilting batting and then sewing it shut. These make satisfactory dinosaur spines and can easily be sewn to the succor of the costume.

Halloween costumes for bid dogs can turn your precious puppy into the king or queen of the pet parade or simply the king or queen of your home! If your dogs are loved like mine, they don’t need costumes to make them kings or queens or the home because they already are.

I have a really creative maternity costume conception I would like to share with you. This Halloween maternity costume is called Mother Baby wipes. I came up with this costume idea when I was pregnant with my twins. I already had my first son so we were always stocked up with loads of baby wipes, especially when they went on sale.

This maternity Halloween costume is very easy to make, looks very cute, creative, and definitely unique. I don’t think you will be seeing many of this costume walking around on Halloween. So if you are looking for a creative maternity costume this would make a great choice. Let’s face it you are going to be using plenty of baby wipes when your child is born so why not get use to the idea now with this Halloween costume? The items needed to make this maternity costume are:

You can choose from a White long-sleeved turtleneck, White maternity sweatshirt, or a White maternity tunic top. The tunic top would look great if you can find one with a band at the bottom of the shirt. Then all you have to wear underneath is a pair of White maternity leggings or cotton pants.

White gloves, White socks, and White shoes/sneakers

White or Red plastic dinner plates

String, anecdote, rubber band or something to attach to the plate to wear as a hat

Letter stencils

Red and Blue velvet fabric (It doesn’t have to be velvet)

Scissors, glue, or glue gun

This maternity costume is very easy to put together so lets get started.

Take the colored fabric and cut out all the letters for the top. Pampers I would expend Blue and sensitive I would use Red. You will need 20 letters total to spell out pampers on top and sensitive on the belly. You can really get creative on the belly and attach something like suitable for baby to be or maybe suitable for unusual born skin. It’s your choice write whatever you want.

Place glue on the encourage of each one. Stick the letters on the shirt. Continue making the rest of the letters allowing the ones you made already to dry. When you have all the letters done allow them to dry for 1 hour before touching.

Effect the headpiece now. Find the biggest plastic dinner plate in either White or Red. Make sure the plate is strong and durable. The best plate for this costume can be found at the food store or the dollar store. Now construct a 3 inch hole in the middle of the plate, but compose sure the hole is deep enough to stick some baby wipes out of it. Consume a string, yarn, or rubber band staple it in the middle of the plate so you can wear it on your head. Now grab a handful of wipes stick them into the hole. Allow the wipes to be like 4-5 inches off the hat.

Put your gloves, socks, and shoes on. You are now ready to be Mother baby wipes for Halloween. This creative maternity costume will be a hit with all your family and friends.

Secrets to Low Cost PR for Small Businesses

Many small businesses have a budget for marketing and advertising their product or service. With limited funds, every dollar must count. What can be done to make a minute business dollars go further?

Getting publicity for your business is low cost and sometimes even free. Even better, it is more effective. Publicity in the media is more credible than advertising. The key is to accept what it takes to glean the media to notice your business.

The media are looking for interesting human interests news stories. Holding a special event is a great way to create excitement for your business and customers and possibly create media attention. There are many special events that can form remarkable traffic for you at exiguous or no cost. Customers like unique shopping experiences. During the promotional sales that I race, many repeat customers come in for the shopping and the special events also. By having special events, you can make your business stand out from the rest.

We will examine a few special events that can create publicity for you also. You can give a donation to a nonprofit organization. You want to make this different from just a typical cash or merchandise donation. It could be using your place of business or perhaps an auction of some of your products or services for the charity. It even could be an auction of some of your key employee’s expertise. For example, an owner of a small accounting business could offer to do the tax return for the auction.

Your can write press releases about your donation. Many of these nonprofits already have beneficial relationships with the media and will serve you generate publicity for your donation.

Having an informational product seminar or product demonstration is another way to possibly generate media attention. The key is to put your own creative touch and contact the media before the event. If not, make sure you take pictures which you may be able to gather in the newspaper after the event.

For example, having a Halloween Costume Event for pets would be a astronomical special event. The media in particular loves stories about children and animals. Even better, it would be a fantastic thought to invite media to be judges for your event. Of course, TV would be the best, but don’t turn down radio, newspapers or magazines.

Another example would be to have a group of people outside your store with positive picketing. They would possess signs such as “Prices Too Improper” or “Beware of Friendly Employees”. This has resulted in one of my clients being on the front page of a local paper.

There is a new product that is sold in some kiosks. It is an instant snow product. You could buy it and guarantee snow at your business on a sure date. If you are in a colder climate, you could select a summer date. That would catch the media’s attention in a hurry.

One last example of a special event would to have free pictures at your business for your customers. It could be Santa, Easter Bunny, Valentine’s or a costumed character. Better yet, this would be a great tie in with a charity. They would be advertising this at no cost to you. The cost of the pictures would be small compared to the huge potential revenue. Once again, the media would love this idea.

There are many ways to create publicity for your business at little or no cost. Getting your employees involved will even create more ways to attract the media’s attention. Being unique will not only separate your business from the rest with the customers, but the media also.
