Hawaiian Hula Dancer Dog Costume - Easy To Make: No Sewing Needed

Aloha!

My mom and I designed this Hawaiian hula dancer costume. It was really easy to make!

First, make sure you get some measurements:

A – B

A – Around the chest * B – Around the waist

C - D

C – From the waist to the tail * D – Aroud the neck to the chest

MATERIALS USED:

 

Raffia
Cord or elastic
Flowery ribbon
Two seashells and pink paint
Two hydrangeas, or a store bought lei and wreath
Scissors, gluegun and gluesticks

DIRECTIONS:

1) Cut a cord with measurement “B” plus 4″
2) Paint two seashells pink

3) Double up a bunch of raffia strands and cut at measurement “C”
4) Slip the strands of raffia under the cord or elastic

5) Make a raffia hoop on one side of the raffia
6) Pass the loose strands through to the other side to tie a knot

7) Make a tight knot
8) Repeat to make the skirt, leaving 2″ on either side

9) Cut two pieces of ribbon: #1–measurement “A” plus 2″, #2– measurement “D” plus 2″, folding “D” in half
10) Slip ribbon “D” under ribbon “A”  and then through the hoop to make a tight knot

11) Glue some velcro to each end of the ribbon
13) Try on to make sure everything fits right

13) Glue the sea sells to the piece of ribbon for measurement “A”
14) Here Niqqi shows you what the top should look like when finished

15) Tie the skirt around the waist
16) You can make a lei and a wreath by glueing small flowers onto a cord

17) Niqqi loves her Hawaiian hula dancer costume…so much that
18) She dances a hula dance!
