You Will Need (3 things)

  • Felt
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Thin Hair Band

Steps (18 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 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. 2

    & a hairband to match the colour of the outer part of the ear .

  3. 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. 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. 5

    Then place it onto the felt to make it easier to cut out the other side of the ear .

  6. 6

    You will have something like this .

  7. 7

    Then you need to cut the inner part of the ear .

    Mine was 3 centimeters by 3 centimeters .

  8. 8

    Place it in the center like that .

    & glue it as such .

  9. 9

    Don't throw away the extra felt . Cut out a small piece & roll it like such .

    & glue it so it'll stick together .

  10. 10

    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. 11

    Then paste the outer piece of the felt onto the back one with glue .

  12. 12

    So the inside part of it , looks like this .

  13. 13

    Then place glue along the red lined part .

    & stick it together .

  14. 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. 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. 16

    Then cut out another piece of felt .

    It's 2 centimeters by 6 centimeters .

  17. 17

    Use it to cover the botton part of the ear , make sure the lenght is correct .

  18. 18

    & voila! Cat ears :D
