How to put it together

1
Choose your character: Chip has a black nose and joined teeth; Dale has a red nose, prominent buck teeth, and messy hair.
2
If going classic, cut a large oval of light cream or white felt and fabric-glue or safety-pin it to the front of your brown hoodie to represent the belly.
3
Cut out felt ears (brown outer, pink inner) and fabric-glue them to the top of the hood so they stand upright.
4
For the Rescue Rangers version, skip the felt belly and instead layer Chip's brown leather jacket over a brown shirt, topping it with his fedora.
5
For Dale's Rescue Rangers look, wear the red and yellow Hawaiian shirt open over a brown t-shirt.
6
Put on matching brown sweatpants or leggings and comfortable brown shoes.
7
Attach your nose accessory or apply face paint to finish the character's face.

Makeup & hair

Use black face paint to draw three simple whiskers on each cheek. If going as Dale, style your hair to be messy and tufted at the front, or attach a small patch of reddish-brown faux fur to the top of your head/hood.

Tips

To tell them apart easily: Chip has a black nose like a chocolate 'chip' and centered teeth. Dale has a big red nose and gap teeth.
If using a hoodie, stuff the felt ears with a little polyester fiberfill or cotton balls so they stay upright.
Carry a clean, empty acorn squash or a giant plush acorn as a highly recognizable prop.
Keep it comfortable by choosing soft fleece materials, making this an excellent choice for cold Halloween nights.
