These are super easy to make and super cute when finished !
Did I mention super cheap ?!
A pair of ears at Disney or at a Disney store are super expensive !
Well for less than 5$ you can make your very own !
What You Need:
*Felt (Black)
*Headband
*Ribbon
*Lighter
*Glue
***If you cant find a black headband you can also make your own !
I will show you how as well in this tutorial !
If you do not have a black headband you can use black ribbon
and weave it around a headband you already have.
Start off by heat sealing the tip of ribbon, add a dab of glue and press firmly onto back of headband.
Bring ribbon over and under and over and under, throughout the whole headband, when you
get to the end glue it down.
If you already have a black headband you can skip those steps and go straight to
cutting out the ears !
You need two pieces of felt, I haven't made a template, but when I do I
will post it !! But another perfect way to make ears is using ribbon, its a perfect circle size for ears !
Next go down just a bit and trace another circle
It should look something like this

Position it on the felt and trace out the circle, it's best if you use a silver marker, that way
you can see the outline
Next go down just a bit and trace another circle
The space between the circles, draw two lines connecting them
It should look something like this
Next cut out the ears
To make sure they match in size you can fold them over and snip off any excess
Next add glue on one side, making sure not to get to close to the bottom ( that's were we will
stick the headband through)

Now do the next set of ears!
Now you are ready to position the ears
Now you are ready to position the ears
If your doing just Mickey, simply just slip them through and position them how you want.
If you are doing Minnie, I think putting the bow first helps position the ears easier
First you need just a simple bow, like below
