Dog Man Book Character Parade Costume

November 11, 2019 7 Comments
It's time for the Dollar Store Craft Challenge! I've joined with several of my blogging friends for the November Dollar Store Craft Challenge, and we've each created a project using items from the Dollar Store.  For this challenge, I'm sharing a Dog Man inspired outfit I put together for my daughter to wear during the Book Character Parade at her school. Each quarter the students have an Accelerated Reader goal, and if they meet that goal, they get to dress up as their favorite book character and participate in the parade around the school. So my daughter reached her Accelerated Reader goal, and she asked to dress up as Bark Knight from the Dog Man books. I thought it would be a cool idea to crochet a hat as part of the costume, and I knew she'd need a cape and a shirt like Bark Knight. I used yarn already in my massive stash to create the hat, and I ventured off to the local dollar store to see what I could find to create a shirt. Since it was just before Halloween, I knew the local Dollar Tree had superhero capes.

Seahawks Inspired Tinsel Wreath

Christmas will be here before we know, and I've been busy decorating my home, Christmas tree, and wrapping presents. I often buy crafting supplies from the local Dollar Tree. And I recently purchased a couple mini tinsel wreaths. I shared a Silver & Green Christmas Wreath for Day 1 of the 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop, and now I'm sharing another Seahawks inspired wreath made with items from the Dollar Tree.

Last year, we had a Seahawks themed Christmas, and I plan to do the same this Christmas. So I decided to make a Seahawks Inspired Christmas Wreath using supplies from the Dollar Tree. The Dollar Tree is the perfect place to find very affordable holiday decor, craft supplies, and more. I often purchase wreath forms, ribbon, mesh, ornaments, and other craft supplies from the Dollar Tree.

Wire Hat Stands

The Dollar Store (Tree) is one of my favorite stores to shop for everything from craft supplies, coloring books, holiday decor, holiday and birthday cards, and even cleaning supplies!  So I've joined some of my blogging friends for a Dollar Store Craft Challenge.  Each of us is sharing a project we created using items from the Dollar Store. After reading my post, I hope you'll stop by to see what amazing Dollar Store crafts my friends are sharing today. You can find the links to their blogs are the end of this post.

So last fall, a friend and I shared a craft booth at our first craft fair. She knits, and I crochet. I was nervous about my first craft fair, so it was great to share a booth with a buddy. I learned that there's so much that goes into preparing for a craft fair other than creating your products. You need a table cloth, signage, business cards, a cash box, a card reader, props to display your items, and more. One of the main crafts that I was featuring were my Seahawks [inspired] Crochet Hats. A couple days before the craft fair, I realized that I only had ONE baby sized hat stand. Oh no!  I wanted two more.
