Frill Seeker: Cat Clown Halloween Costume

Make the hat using Clown Hat Template. Roll into a cone and secure with hot glue.

To make the hat's ruffle, cut about 2 yards from tulle, then cut that in half lengthwise. Stack pieces, fold in half lengthwise, then sew at folded seam with an in-and-out stitch, cinching as you sew to form a ruffle. Work until the ruffled trim is the circumference of the hat, then tie off.

Hot glue ruffle onto paper cone, then hot glue each end of a piece of white elastic to the inside of the hat for a chin strap.

Hot glue poms poms to the front of the hat.

For the neck ruffle, cut two lengths of tulle, each 3 yards. Stack pieces, fold in half lengthwise, then sew at the folded seam with an in-and-out stitch, cinching as you sew to form a ruffle. Work until the ruffled trim is the circumference of your pet's neck, then tie off.

Sew a 5-inch length of red ribbon to each end, and use this to secure around neck.
