How to put it together
- 1
Put on the matching brown sweatshirt and brown sweatpants to establish the base raccoon body.
- 2
Cut out two large white circles and two smaller black circles from your felt sheets to create Rigby's signature wide eyes, then fabric-glue them to the top of the hoodie's hood.
- 3
Cut out two pointed brown felt ears with black inner linings and sew or fabric-glue them to the top of the hood next to the eyes.
- 4
Cut three horizontal dark brown or black felt stripes and fabric-glue them horizontally across the lower back of the hoodie.
- 5
Pin the striped raccoon tail securely to the back waistband of your sweatpants.
- 6
Tie the optional red bandana around your neck if you want to sport one of Rigby's classic alternate episode looks.
Makeup & hair
Keep your hair tucked completely inside the hoodie. If desired, use black face paint to draw a small, round raccoon nose on the tip of your nose and dark circles around your eyes to mimic his cartoon design.
