This is an exciting post. Me and 80+ blog buddies of mine got together to bring you 80+ handmade Halloween costumes, including my Dog the Bounty Hunter and and his wife Beth costume. I’m teaming up with Jamie Dorobek and her handmade Halloween costume site, Really Awesome Costumes to bring y’all tons of easy ideas to craft up DIY Halloween costumes for everyone including your pets, family costumes, and even a trunk or treat idea! Don’t we make the hottest bounty couple you’ve ever seen?
Along with our costume, I’m sharing 88+ more really awesome handmade costume ideas from talented bloggers everywhere!

McKay and I dressed up as this a couple years ago, but still this is my favorite costume we’ve ever put together. So many people asked my why we wanted to be this outrageous couple for Halloween, and to be honest, I thought it would be so fun to be someone who is the complete opposite of me physically. Who wouldn’t want to be a big boobed blonde with a mullet and tattoo covered man in leather on her arm? Sounds like a fun time to me.
To make this costume was really easy and really affordable. Here is what you need to make this costume:
Dog:
Tattoo Sleeves (or if you have tattoos on your arms, you won’t need these)
A leather vest (I got his at a thrift store)
Beth:
2 balloons blown up really big
A leopard shirt that’s two sizes larger than your size to accommodate the balloons (I found mine at a thrift store)
Pleather pants (Found these at the thrift store)
Lots of gaudy jewelry
*If you have kids and want to make this a family costume, you can dress them up as dogs.
