To craft Little Red Riding Hood’s namesake garment, place one yard of red jersey fabric on an iron-safe surface and fold in half. Fold back the fabric along the top edge and iron on a piece of iron hem tape (Images 1 & 2). Turn the fabric inside out to hide the seam and lay flat. Use a yardstick to measure 10 inches above the seam, then place dots every 3 inches with a marker (Images 3 & 4). At the dots, use scissors to cut small holes, then weave a piece of red ribbon through the holes to both separate the hood from the cape and hold the costume on (Image 5). Pair the hood with an adorable dress to take this look to new Halloween heights.

What would Little Red Riding Hood be without a Big Bad Wolf by her side? To perfect your pup’s grandma get-up, first pull out a shower cap and turn it inside out. Use a hot glue gun to cover the entirety of the cap with cotton balls, then use scissors to cut two small holes at the opening of the cap (Image 1). Thread white yarn through and tie off to hold the cap in place (Image 2). Pair this paw-some wig with a fluffy cardigan and a pair of grandma glasses (minus the glass, of course) so your four-legged friend can get on with what he or she does best: being adorable.
