I doodled bark all over the t-shirt, front, back, and the sleeves.
The arm pits were a little tricky, and they still look wonky if you look close, but who cares! I’m a happy little tree!Īfter the dress is sewn, I used a Sharpie to make bark on the brown t-shirt dress. This is not a perfect method, but it works! And the whole dress took me about 45 minutes to make. I used a white pencil to give me a guide line and then I sewed it up with my machine.Īfter I sewed up one side, I folded the shirt in half, and used that as a guide for the other side. I turned the shirt inside out, tried it on, and declared I needed to take in about 4 inches from both sides. I buy the largest, cheapest t-shirt I can find, and sew up the sides. Like my Indian and Wilma costume of Halloween pasts. I’ve sewn a few costume “dresses” from giant men’s t-shirts. Oh and I attempted to use real acorns, but opted for a giant felt acorn, it was cuter! I stitched up his tail, attempted to use the fancy star stitch on my machine for eyes, and sewed around the belly circle. I was going to use glue to attach the squirrel to the black tree hole, but then decided to just add a few stitches. I used fabric scissors and started cutting my felt pieces. I googled “cartoon squirrel” and doodled a simple image on paper to have something to mimic in felt.
#Squirrel costume free
Feel free to skip to step 3 if you want to skip the squirrel. The squirrel is very optional part of the costume, but Bob Ross did feed a baby squirrel he named Peapod on his show. Like I said above, I’m pregnant so I’m excited to incorporate my growing belly into the costume. I also wanted to be able to use my hands. I bought those fun “tree finger gloves” from Target, but ended up taking them back and using my bare hands and painted orange nails! The gloves were awkward, and I wanted to be a fall tree not a bright green tree. Brown long sleeve giant man’s t-shirt or brown dress.Here’s what you need to make Bob Ross Couples Costumes so I crafted up a baby squirrel in my happy little tree! The only thing we had to buy was a brown afro and I made the art palate out of cardboard. Since I’m pregnant (19 weeks!), I really wanted to find a way to incorporate the bambino into our costumes. Well, Andy’s Bob Ross costume is super easy. The best part of this Bob Ross couples costume is they are both pretty dang easy to make.
#Squirrel costume full
I’ve got the full tutorial for making the best DIY Bob Ross couples costumes! It’s almost Halloween! What is not to love about DIY costumes, candy and pumpkins galore?! And since we bought a real house (vs our condo) in a real neighborhood this will be the first year we have tricker or treaters! I’m assuming tricker treaters end at 8p and then it’s on to costume party extravaganza, hosted by my party throwing bestie, Rachelle! After last years glow stick people mishap, I was determined to make glow stick costumes happen this year, but then I saw this awesome blog post and the rest is history.
