I like to be organized - so I came up with this little stuffy inspired by the severed ear of Vincent van Gogh. My earrings were is such disarray that I had trouble finding matching pairs. Now with my "ear" I have them all in one nice little place and finding matching pairs is much easier!! Hope you make my little severed ear and organize your own earrings - thanks and enjoy!!

Finding the perfect ear
Find a friend that has really big ear lobes - they work the best. WIth your digital camera take a nice up close picture. Using your computer photo program decide on the size you would like to make your ear - my ear measures 8x4. Print out on paper - this is going to be your pattern to use to make your ear. -
Once you have printed out your ear on paper - cut out your ear *remember leave about 1/4 inch seam allowance for sewing.
-
Sewing and stuffing your ear
With felt in your desired color and stuffing -trace your pattern to the felt- cut out 2 pieces ( front and back of your ear) with wrong sides out - -
sew a seam around the entire ear leave enough space for stuffing once you have turned your ear right side out.
-
Stuff your ear with fluff and finish off the hole to make your stuffed ear shape.
-
Sewing the ear lines
Carefully with a pencil draw a faint line on your stuffed ear to give you guides for your sewing. Here I have sewed the basic lines of the inside of Carlos' ear. -
Adding the details
Here I decided to give some ear hair to my stuffed ear - I just used some thick black thread and left about 5 loops that I finished off in the back of the ear then cut the loops to make them look like scary ear hair. Have fun with the details - add warts, veins or just about and thing that might be on an ear! -
Organize your earrings!
Now you can pull all of your earring together and put them on your ear! Here is a fun way to keep them nice neat and organized!! Have fun making my severed ear - thanks and enjoy
