A green guac tunic with red tomato dots for one, a giant triangle chip hat for the other. Thirty minutes, easy: a green t-shirt or tunic, a tan t-shirt or tunic, and red felt. The chip hat should be oversized. Timid triangles don't read.

Tip: the guac person carries a small bowl.
Steps
- Buy the felt and glue.
- Pull a green and a tan t-shirt from the closet.
- Guac: cut small circles from the red and yellow felt, about quarter size.
- Glue the dots across the front of the green t-shirt.
- Let the glue dry flat for 20 minutes.
- Chip: cut a triangle from the tan felt, about 2 feet tall.
- Glue the base of the triangle to the headband.
- Add a second small triangle behind it for stiffness.
- Safety: Keep the chip triangle light, felt only, so it cannot poke anyone in a crowd. Skip cardboard for the tall piece.
- Optional pro finish: the guac person carries a small bowl.

Common questions
How do you keep the chip triangle standing up?
Two layers of felt glued together hold their shape. For a taller chip, glue a pipe cleaner up the center as a spine.
Will the felt dots survive the night?
Fabric glue on clean, dry cotton holds for an evening. Press each dot flat for 30 seconds when you glue it.
