Here are just a few of their tips:

• for small dogs, a baby Tshirt or 'onesie' makes a good base to start - for example, make a Fruit of the Loom Doggy style costume by adding purple grapes to the baby Tshirt


• felt is fabulous, especially when you use it with white glue - cut big loops from different browns to assemble a "mane" or add to the doggy Tshirt to embellish


• little 'wiglets' from the dollar store make hilarious headpieces for smaller dogs
