You Will Need (3 things)
- Felt
- Hot Glue Gun
- Thin Hair Band
Steps (18 steps, 20 minutes)
-
1
First you need two colours of felt . For the inner & outer part of the ears .
If possible make sure your felt is of the thicker kind . ( the white one I had was so thin , it didn't look good ) .
-
2
& a hairband to match the colour of the outer part of the ear .
-
3
First , fold the outer part of ear (felt) into half & cut out the cat ears .
This way you get two pieces .
You will need 4 .
-
4
The measurement I used was 6 centimeters by 6 centimeters .
When you cut it , make sure the sides of the ears are slightly curved .
-
5
Then place it onto the felt to make it easier to cut out the other side of the ear .
-
6
You will have something like this .
-
7
Then you need to cut the inner part of the ear .
Mine was 3 centimeters by 3 centimeters .
-
8
Place it in the center like that .
& glue it as such .
-
9
Don't throw away the extra felt . Cut out a small piece & roll it like such .
& glue it so it'll stick together .

Ok , so each ear has two pieces of felt ( as show in picture ) .
Use on piece & put glue along the lines that are red .
The middle one is where you still the rolled up piece ( as shown in picture above ) .
-
11
Then paste the outer piece of the felt onto the back one with glue .
-
12
So the inside part of it , looks like this .
-
13
Then place glue along the red lined part .
& stick it together .
-
14
If your lazy to sit there holding it , use a clothes peg or some sort of clip to help you .
I rather use my hands , so it won't end up too pointed ( look at my black cat ears below ) .
-
15
Then since the bottom parts of the ears are open , put glue then stick onto hairband .
( I always paste where the bristle-y part starts & ends )
-
16
Then cut out another piece of felt .
It's 2 centimeters by 6 centimeters .
-
17
Use it to cover the botton part of the ear , make sure the lenght is correct .

& voila! Cat ears :D
