Need a quick animal costume? Just add ears to a hoodie.
Making these ears is really simple and fun. You can curve them various ways to make different types of ears (i.e. mouse, cat, hippo, dog). Big thanks to my little sister for modeling for me!

Step 1Begin by holding the first shoulder pad in both hands.
-
Step 2Fold the two ends of the shoulder pad to the middle.
-
Step 3Bring one side (doesn't matter which one) on top of the other side.
-
Step 4Lay the overlapped sides together and flatten with your fingers.
The amount of overlap will determine the shape of the ears so play around with the shape to get the animal you want (i.e. short and flat could be a hippo or mouse, long and skinny could be a cat, etc)

-
Step 6Secure the overlapped sides with straight pins.
-
Step 7Repeat steps 1 through 6 for the second shoulder pad.
-
Step 8Next, take each shoulder pad and use needle and thread to sew the overlapped sides together.
I used a different color (white)thread to show the sewing more clearly but using a similarly colored thread works best to hide your work.

Step 11You're done!
