  Step 1

  We're going to start by making our paper template. Remove the ears from your Necomimi headband and lay it on top of a piece of paper. Get your pencil and sketch out the shape of your new ears. Cut this out.

• 

  Step 2

  Now sketch out the base of the ear, using the headband to get the width of the base and your previous template to get the length.

• 

  Step 3

  Trace the shape of the mechanical ear stub in to the center of the ear base template and cut this out.

• 

  Step 4

  Pin your templates on to black felt.

• 

  Step 5

  Cut out your felt pieces, including four black ears, two black ear bases and two pink ear inners.

• 

  Step 6

  Cut a rectangle of felt and pin it around the mechanical ear stub, at the top and side edges, so that it fits on snuggly.

• 

  Step 7

  Stitch along the top and side edges.

• 

  Step 8

  Make two of these and place them on the mechanical ear stub to make sure they fit tightly.

• 

  Step 9

  Thread your needle with black thread.

• 

  Step 10

  Place the rectangle inside one of the ear bases and stitch together.

• 

  Step 11

  Check to make sure it fits on the ear stub again.

• 

  Step 12

  Now pin the pink inner on top of the black ear.

• 

  Step 13

  Stitch in place.

• 

  Step 14

  Place the second black ear on top, so that the wrong sides are facing out and pin in place.

• 

  Step 15

  Stitch around the top edges.

• 

  Step 16

  Place the ears on top of your ear stub covers.

• 

  Step 17

  Pad with stuffing

• 

  Step 18

  Pin the edges closed.

• 

  Step 19

  Sew in place.

• 

  Step 20

  You're all finished. Trim any loose threads and place on your headband!

. . . They actually move like the real one? That is so cool.

Thanks for this! Cosplaying X-Men's Beast next week and I'm hoping to use this pattern for a...silly touch. Now, if those darn earns would just arrive...
