"All right so these ears sense we're making this a thing kind or rude looking. I am going to make these ears kind of rude. So I am just going to flap something out like this maybe slap it on the corner of my table there. Yep and then kind of get a little something going on there. I like that so I am going to take part of this here. That I created on my table some texture and stuff. Grab that other one that I made here and then some more texture and it'll help with the design to make sure that all of this is the same size and It can be really weird looking but as long as it's all the same size it will all be in the same page. So that's a little thick. We can tell so I am going to go and cut it a little thinner on the back side and I am going to cut this one a little thinner on the back side and then we'll be ready to attach these ears. So that pot can hear us! There! See?"
