14 Adorable Couples Costume Ideas For Dogs And Kids

Nothing is cuter than a kid and their dog. Well, except maybe a kid and their dog in a couples costume on Halloween!
1. Carl and the House from Pixar’s “Up.”
For Carl’s look all you need is a sweater, brown pants, a bow tie, and a PVC pipe cane with tennis balls on the end! For your pup, find a large cardboard box and get as detailed as you want! Top the whole look off with a dozen multi-colored balloons!

2. Sherlock Holmes and Watson

3. Kristoff and Sven from “Frozen”
To give your pup Sven’s look, simply construct some antlers out of foam or cardboard, and make some leg cuffs and a bib with faux fur fabric!

7. Willy Wonka and Oompa Loompa
All your little Oompa Loompa needs is a brown turtle neck, a pair of white shorts, some striped knee socks, suspenders (made from two pieces of white felt), and some green hair dye! For Willy Wonka, hot glue a large green bow to a purple shirt/polo or a large cape made of felt. For details on how to make a top hat for you pup, click here.

8. Beauty and the Beast
Belle’s look is easy, all you need is a formal yellow dress! For Beast, make a lion type mane from faux fur fabric, and hot glue yellow felt pieces to an old blue sports coat or shirt.

9. Mighty Dragon and Valiant Knight

11. Ariel and Flounder

12. Jack Skellington and Zero
For the body part of the Zero costume, all you need is a white pillowcase. For Zero’s head, glue a Styrofoam cone and rounded block together. Next, cover the cone and block with white fabric. Draw two big black eyes onto the fabric covering the rounded block of foam. Using white felt, cut out two ears and hot glue them to the back of the rounded block. Now add an elastic band (make sure it fits your pups head comfortably), so the headpiece stays securely on your pup! Finally, hot glue a small fabric pumpkin to the tip of the fabric covered cone to Zero’s nose!

13. Charlie Brown and Snoopy
A similar snoopy look can be created with a white felt, hooded cape, black felt ears, and a black cotton ball nose (for an extra touch, add a bright red collar!)! Charlie Brown’s look is even easier–simply hot glue a black fabric zigzag to a bright yellow shirt!

14. Bo Peep and her Sheep
For details on how to make your pup look like a little sheep (wait that’s not a real sheep?), click here! Or if you have a doodle, just embrace their lamb like qualities!

Bo Peep’s outfit can get as detailed as you want! Start by finding a frilly, floral dress, a white apron, and an old cane. If you are feeling extra crafty, and want to make the costume from scratch, click here!
