It’s Winter Olympics time in Vancouver! I love to snowboard…but I didn’t make it early enough to qualify. Maybe next time! And I’m going for gold!
Here I am practicing in my backyard:

Hi blog friends!
I have to tell you that I had a very fun Halloween weekend. My biggest dilemma, however, was which Halloween costume to pick.
You know that I love dressing up. First I thought I would be Little Red Ridinghood, since I like adventure…but I didn’t think I’d be able to run like I like to. “Maybe I should be Wonder Woman? Yes, of course! I’ll go out and catch bad guys!” But it was Halloween and I really wanted to stay home and wait for the trick-or-treaters… “Let me think,” I said to myself, “I know! I will be a scary small dragon! I am sure they’ll get scared! Ha!” And that’s how I decided…
Here I am by the windown ready for the trick-or-treaters!
Mission accomplished! The kids were so scared when they saw me that I had no choice but to bark so they would not it was me, Niqqi, disguised as a dragon!
And you know what? I would love to see what you were for Halloween! I’m putting together a photo parade of my anipals dressed for Halloween! (Okay, my mom is helping me…) If you had a chance to dress up, send me your picture HERE! Make sure to include your name and where you are from, if you wish.
It’ll be fun!
This Halloween I will roar “trick or treat” and will definitely surprise my neighbors! This dragon costume was very easy to make.
First, we needed some measurements:
A - B
A – From my neck to my eyes; B – From my neck to my tail.
C - D
C – My tail front to back plus more if you want the dragon’s tail longer;
D – Around my belly plus 2 inches. Then I divided that figure in half.
E - F
E – From my neck to the middle point of my front leg;
F – From the middle point of my front leg to the middle point of my hind leg.
H - G
H – My upper leg width; G – From my back down to where my legs start.
Once I took all the measurements, I laid them out on a piece of paper like this to make a pattern.
Then I cut out the parts I didn’t need.
MATERIALS USED
*Green felt – This is the base for the costume, so make sure that you get a piece that’s at least the sum of measurements A, B & C, and twice the measurements of D
*Yellow felt for the triangular back plates
*Red and black felt for the eyes, nostrils and tongue
*Fabric glue, silicone glue and glue gun, or contact cement
*Scissors
*Velcro
*Stuffing
INSTRUCTIONS:
Measure the green felt so that its length is the sum of measurements A, B and C, and its width is measurement D multiplied by 2. Fold in half lenghwise. Lay pattern over the felt. Cut out all excess material.
This is what it should look like when you’re done cutting.
Glue the tail together. Glue Velcro on the edges as shown.
Stuff the tail with filler or stuffing. Try on to make sure it fits.
To make the triangular plates, fold some yellow felt in half. The height will be at your discretion. Draw the triangular plates ans shown, leaving a little space in between them.
Cut and glue together.
Glue the triangular plates in place on the back of the costume.
Cut pieces of felt to make the eyes, nostril and tongue and glue in place.
This is what the finished piece should look like! Make a slit at the neck to fish through the collar ring.
This is what I look like from the front.
Ready to go Trick or Treating! (Hope I get some roaring good treats!!)
Fluffs,
