Description
Dressed my daughter in overalls like a farmer, my son as a dog. Over the stroller I built a dog house out of cardboard. I found a box that fit over the stroller and added another half of a box for the roof and two triangle pieces that go in-between the bottem and the roof. Painted the house red, the roof black, and added a name plate of BINGO on the front. Very cute and kept both of them warm.

Instructions
Find a box that sits right over the stroller.Let it sit on the umbrella. Now cut holes for the handles to stick out, and a hole for the front door of the dog house. I also cut a little hole in the back so I could get to the basket under the stroller.
Fit a half of a box over the top of the first box to look like a roof. Cut two triangles out of the left over cardboard to fill in the holes between the fist box and the roof.
Paint the bottom box and the triangles red, the roof black. I used strapping tape to hold every thing together. Then added the name plate. I was running out of time so I just used a paper and wrote BINGO on it. I'm sure you can make it neater.
Tips for Taking a Great Photo:
- Avoid clutter. Keep the background simple -- your costume is the star!
- Daytime, natural light is best. If your area is bright enough, try taking the photo without the flash.
- Upload a horizontal photo. If you crop the image on your computer, make sure you keep a landscape 4:3 aspect ratio.
- For best results, make your image 1200x900 (or "save for web").
- With a digital camera, you can take as many photos as possible and choose the best one. Have fun!
