Cat ears I made for a last minute Halloween function . Please take note that I'm remaking these just for the tutorial so it's kinda sloppily done :/

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 ) .
& a hairband to match the colour of the outer part of the ear .
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 .
The measurement I used was 6 centimeters by 6 centimeters . When you cut it , make sure the sides of the ears are slightly curved .
Then place it onto the felt to make it easier to cut out the other side of the ear .
You will have something like this .
Then you need to cut the inner part of the ear . Mine was 3 centimeters by 3 centimeters .
Place it in the center like that . & glue it as such .
Don't throw away the extra felt . Cut out a small piece & roll it like such . & glue it so it'll stick together .
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 ) .
Then paste the outer piece of the felt onto the back one with glue .
So the inside part of it , looks like this .
Then place glue along the red lined part . & stick it together .
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 ) .
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 )
Then cut out another piece of felt . It's 2 centimeters by 6 centimeters .
Use it to cover the botton part of the ear , make sure the lenght is correct .
& voila! Cat ears :D
