I have seen a few costumes for bearded dragons, and was mighty tempted to make something for our girls, Ellen and Portia. I didn’t want to make them uncomfortable. Just something light that could be stuck on for a minute with a bit of peanut butter.
No lizards were harmed in the making of this project.
In the same box as the Makit & Bakit crystals, there was a large ziploc of tiny hats. They seemed to be made out of pressed styrofoam. They are quite delicate, and most of them are misshapen. I two that look the best, and carefully remove the embellishments.
One gets a coat of black, and the other gets orange. My extensive (really, far too extensive) collection of washi tape yields cute hat bands.
In to the shiny box I go, affixing seasonally-colored rhinestones to the side of each hat.
The bat is a Halloween button I’ve trimmed the shank from.
The black hat gets a cute brad–shank also trimmed. No way it was going through the styro.
Ellen and Portia say HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Wow! I love the close up pics, to see how the skin looks up close is really something! Beautiful little girls, with fancy pants hats, too. So cute!
So adorable! Portia looks pleased!
I’m sorry I am late, I left a comment to your previous post!
You crack me up! Being new to your blog, I naturally assume Ellen and Portia were people.I was confused as to why the hat were so small, why you were harming lizards and what the peanut butter was all about. Call me thick! Those lizards in those hats are adorable.
That’s excellent! You got a neat surprise at the end of the post!
