Yellow Flower Pet Costume
My dog's name is Daisy and so I made her a basic flower costume for Halloween.
Supplies
Green fleece dog sweater (purchased)
yellow felt
scissors
pipe cleaners
needle and thread
Sewing machine (optional)
Cut the Fleece
Cut the fleece to pieces with a square bottom but rounded top. I had 6 pieces 6 inches wide, but you could have wider pieces or more depending on your preference and the size of your dog.
Create the Petal Shape
Create a box pleat by folding it in half and bending back the edges. Sew the pleat so it stays in place with either the needle and thread or a sewing machine.
Add Stability to the Petal
to add a bit of stability, I used pipe cleaners, twisting loops at the end for so I could hand sew them into the pleat and they would stay put.

Sew the Petals to the Neck of the Fleece
I sewed the petals on with the pipe cleaner support facing backward, and on the outside of the neck hold so that it doesn't irritate.
