MADE FOR THE PARADE

Keep ’em hydrated with a custom carrier that fits any bottle.

PUP TUTU What You’ll Need • 1-in.-wide elastic • Adhesive Velcro squares • 2 or 3 spools (25 yds. each) of 6-in.-wide tulle ribbon 1. Measure your dog’s waist. Subtract 1 in. and cut a piece of elastic to that size. Add Velcro squares to both of the ends. 2. Cut strips of tulle ribbon to a length you like and tie onto the elastic. Dress your pooch!

STAR SHORTS What You’ll Need • Acrylic craft paint • Paper plate • Star stamp • Denim or cotton shorts 1. Spread paint into a thin layer on the plate. Press the stamp into paint, wipe the edges clean, and stamp onto shorts. Repeat to cover as desired! Let dry.

BOTTLE HOLDER What You’ll Need • Wax paper • Duct tape 1. Create a rectangular pattern from wax paper 1 in. shorter than the height and 1 in. wider than the circumference of your bottle. Cut out. 2. Cover both sides of the pattern with tape. 3. Roll into a cylinder and tape the seam. 4. Make an X with two layers of tape. Attach to bottom of cylinder. 5. Make a skinny strap: Cut tape to desired length; fold in half. Tape 2 in. of each end inside of the top of the cylinder. Add more tape to the outside to secure.

SPARKLER HAT What You’ll Need • Fabric glue or acrylic craft paint • 2 paper plates • Stiff stencil brush • Paper towels • Rigid fireworks stencil (we like the metal one from Stampendous

Dreamweaver, at Amazon) • Trucker hat (available at craft stores or Amazon) • Fine glitter 1. Pour a thin layer of glue or paint onto a paper plate. Dab in the stencil brush, then blot excess off onto a paper towel. 2. Carefully hold the stencil in place on the hat. Bounce the paintbrush up and down, reloading with paint as needed, until the image is complete. Gently lift the stencil up and sprinkle glitter over the glue or paint. Shake excess off into another paper plate to reuse. 3. Clean the stencil, move to another part of the hat, and repeat. Let dry completely before wearing.
