One Dolla Dog Crown!

Sebastian, The Leprechaun King!!


Sebastian and I are regulars at Joann Fabrics and it's hard to miss the dollar aisle along the checkout line.  The instant I saw this visor for kids, I knew exactly what I was gonna do!!  


All it took was a little tweaking and a few staples.  Literally just bend the visor to form a circular shape and staple it in place.  I was also excited that I was able to still use the stretch band it came with.


What's even more fabulous is this is basically a One Size Fits All hat!!  The stretch band worked on both of my dogs perfectly too!


Test the size of the circle upon your dog's head before stapling.  There is really no room for errors on this project.  Here are some other things at Joann's (but not in the dollar aisle) that your pets can also rock!!


Here is Chanel modeling the bow tie as a headband


All of this brings me to my next mission:
St. Patrick's Day WHO WORE IT BETTER Contest!!!!  

Submit your photos of your pet in any kind of St. Patrick's Day themed hat to sewdoggystyle@yahoo.com to be entered.  The hat can be handmade or bought.  Photo props (such as beads, bows, etc) are encouraged too!!  More info on the contest will be up soon.


XOXOXOXO,
Erika and Sebastian
