  Step 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 ) .

• 

  Step 2

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

• 

  Step 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 .

• 

  Step 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 .

• 

  Step 5

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

• 

  Step 6

  You will have something like this .

• 

  Step 7

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

  Mine was 3 centimeters by 3 centimeters .

• 

  Step 8

  Place it in the center like that .

  & glue it as such .

• 

  Step 9

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

  & glue it so it'll stick together .

• 

  Step 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 ) .

• 

  Step 11

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

• 

  Step 12

  So the inside part of it , looks like this .

• 

  Step 13

  Then place glue along the red lined part .

  & stick it together .

• 

  Step 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 ) .

• 

  Step 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 )

• 

  Step 16

  Then cut out another piece of felt .

  It's 2 centimeters by 6 centimeters .

• 

  Step 17

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

• 

  Step 18

  & voila! Cat ears :D

Oh I meant to ask, is the basic hair band a plastic or a material one? I've got a plastic one and I want to make one of these. Do you think it will work if I stick material ears to a plastic hair band if I use hot glue??
