Christmas Day has come and gone. It’s time for all those year-end sales. As you browse, you may find some decorations for next year. I like to find ways to get two holidays for the price of one.

Big Dog – Halloween

Big dogs have been trending for the last two years. I bought this masked Halloween skeleton dog and added a Witch’s hat as a bit of whimsy. In a few easy steps you can transform him into a Christmas dog.

How to Transform Halloween to Christmas:
Add a Cardigan Sweater

Cover the skeleton costume with a cardigan sweater. Pin the sleeves to align with the front paws so it looks like he is wearing it.

Add a Winter Scarf

This scarf looks cute and covers the neckline of the black sweater beneath.

Add a Pair of Ski Goggles

Believe it or not, they do make goggles for dogs! There are two straps, one around the head and the other around the muzzle. This dog’s head is quite large, so rather than exchange for a larger size, I cut off the muzzle strap and set the goggles in place.

Big Dog – Christmas

The adorable Santa hat completes the transformation, while holding the goggles in position. If you want to keep him out all winter, you could easily swap out the hat and he’s ready for the ski slopes. I hope you enjoyed this project and a wonderful holiday season.
