Bob Ross and his Happy Little Tree Costume

Bob Ross and his Happy Little Tree

Costume type:  Costumes for Couples
Category:Halloween Costumes

This homemade costume for couples entered our 2012 Halloween Costume Contest.

A word from Monica, the 'Bob Ross and his Happy Little Tree' costume creator:

If you’re in your 30’s or 40’s, who didn’t grow up watching Bob Ross?! I loved his voice, cheer and who didn’t wait in suspense watching Bob put a happy tree dead center of a landscape!! He inspired me to tap into my artistic side as a youngster and also in college to pursue a career in art. As a tribute to the Bob I created this costume.

Wooden easel is cardboard in 2 pieces top and bottom. – Free!
Canvas and painter pallet is foam board. – $2.99!
Fall Leaf Garland - $3.99!
Afro and beard for my husband (who couldn’t grow a masterpiece like Bob) - $30.00
Talented landscape painted by me – cost of a college education!!!
Cut a hole in the center of landscape with an exacto knife, glue cardboard easel to top and bottom of canvas and tape leaf garland around hole.
Happy Little Tree Smile – Free!

My husband told me he wanted to be Bob Ross for Halloween and I said, "I could be his happy, little tree," as a joke. We came across your costume and were so elated that we weren't the only Bob Ross fans left out there! Great job!
