Yippee, it’s Christmas Eve! If you’re anything like me you are getting out your best Holiday Outfit to wear to all of the upcoming Holiday parties and festivities.
This year I decided to whip up some special festive wear – a simple DIY to make you look oh-so-spiffy this Christmas.

DIY Christmas Eve Outfit for Dogs
Materials:
- Clip-on Tie or bowtie* (I got mine from goodwill)
- White Collared Shirt* (I also got this from goodwill)
- Velcro
- Scissors
- Hot Glue
Step 1: Cut just the collar off of the shirt.
Step 2: Cut the collar in half at the back of it.
Step 3: Glue velcro to the back of the collar, you may need to measure your dog’s neck to see where to position the velcro.
Step 4: Take your clip-on tie and shorten the length of the tie to an appropriate length for your dog by pushing the excess fabric up and through the knot of the tie.
Step 5: Cut off the excess tie fabric at the top, leaving enough that you can glue it later.
Step 6: Hot glue the ends of your tie back into place.
Step 7: Clip the tie onto the collar and you’re ready for a festive night!
I must admit, my festive Holiday outfit makes me so ridiculously good looking! Not the DIY type? Don’t worry, you can snag a festive pre-made bowtie for your pup* for any occasion!
So what will you’re pets be wearing this Christmas? Holiday bowtie, Christmas sweater or maybe – dare I say it – your birthday suit? Do tell!
This is absolutely adorable! I am in love and have used this as a basis for one I made for my dog. I’d love for you to check it out on my blog {goes live 1/17/14; 9am EST}. I was sure to link back to your post here too. Thanks so much for the inspiration. Both myself and the little princess appreciate it! 🙂
