How to put it together

Put on the white sweatpants and the white hooded sweatshirt.

- 3
Cut two long, teardrop-shaped floppy dog ears from the black felt sheets.
- 4
Safety pin or sew the black felt ears to the sides of the white hood so they hang down alongside your face.

Makeup & hair
Keep hair tucked neatly inside the hood. For makeup, use black face paint or eyeliner to draw a small, cute upside-down triangle puppy nose on the tip of your nose.
