craftgrrl | A costume for a bearded dragon :) (Reply)

I work at a pet store, and when the manager announced that we'd be having a pet hallowe'en party complete with a professional photographer, I suddenly wanted to dress up a pet. But since I don't have any fuzzy pets, I decided to make the bearded dragon into a real dragon!

Unfortunately this is a crappy cell phone photo. The "bones" of the wings are craft foam, with felt "webbing" glued to the underside. I painted it all up (I swear there are more yellows and browns than show up in this photo) and then made a quick harness shape out of some spare fabric, which I also painted (again, it's not white like the photo shows!)

I really didn't put to much effort into the rest of the assembly; some fray check, some velcro, and some staples and it was ready to wear. I think he looks pretty cute :) He just sat there, enjoying the attention for half an hour at the store before I took him home. What should he be next year?
