Make a taco costume. There are several ways to make a taco costume. First, you can get a taco shell and cut it open. Next, put two ribbons inside the body. With a glue gun, attach the ribbons to the surface. Place one near the armhole and the other above the middle.
Sew taco sides together
Sew the taco sides together by placing the tan strip’s right sides together and the right sides facing each other. Use pinking shears to trim and close the seam. Make sure the bottom corner is pushed out. Repeat for the other side. Repeat until all the sides are hemmed.
Afterward, use your sewing machine to sew the sides together. You can choose a thick yarn to make the process easier. You can still make taco shell decorations with textured fabric and thread if you need to learn how to crochet. These taco decorations are sure to be a hit at your next party!

Marks X’s on the inside of the body to guide the middle section, base, and sides. This step is necessary because the taco shell foam is finicky. It’s essential to be patient when stuffing your tacos because it can take a while!
Next, cut the light green felt sections into 1/2″ wide strips. These strips will act as ties to secure the taco on your dog. After attaching them, tie the felt strips together. Then, you’re ready to wear your dog’s costume as a taco costume!
Pin lettuce-stuffed base to the two taco sides
You’ll need to pin the lettuce-stuffed base to the two taco shell sides. You must avoid getting the lettuce into the seams, so pin it securely and flip the taco right side up. Next, you’ll need to cut the lettuce close to the seams so they’re not sticking out.
For this step, you’ll need a 6.5mm crochet hook and No. 6 super-bulky yarn. You’ll want to make a pattern that measures 5 1/2″ x 14 1/2″. This should be a little larger than the middle part of a taco.
Trim excess fabric to create a smooth curve
Cut two pieces of fabric to make the taco shell and fold the darker sections under. Cut the other two pieces of fabric and glue them together. Then cut diagonal snips at the inside corners. Then pin the outer edges together and sew with 1/8-inch seams. The taco shell is now complete. You can now decorate it with red and orange felt for the tomatoes and cheese.

The torso part of the costume is made of vinyl fabric. The torso piece should be large enough to fit the subject’s torso. The seam should be 1/4-inch wide. On the backside, you should have a small tail of fabric that you can use to attach the velcro.
Distressing the fabric is an easy way to add character to the costume. You can also add dark spots with alcohol-based paint. If you use metal or plastic pieces, you can use acrylic paint or shoe polish to give them a tarnished look.
