Whether you're pulling together a last-minute costume or adding something new to your child's dress-up box, dog ears on a headband are quick and easy to make. You don't even have to sew anything, so they really are perfect for last-minute parties.
Things You'll Need
Scrap cardboard or copy paper
Felt
Tailor’s chalk or marker
Scissors
Fabric or hot glue
Craft stick (optional)
Headband
Step 2
Trace the template onto the felt and cut out the pieces. You need four ear pieces.
Step 3
Glue two ear pieces together, fabric glue or a hot glue gun. If you prefer, stitch them together, providing a 1/4-inch seam allowance. Repeat with the other two pieces. Glue on felt spots, if you are using them.
Tip
Add some personality with different colors of felt. Cut two pieces from a dark color and two from a lighter color. For example, make Dalmatian ears with a black and a white piece for each ear. Cut spots from the darker color to put on the top.
If you are making large ears and want them to stand up, slip a craft stick between them before gluing them up.
Step 4
Put the headband on and mark where you want the ears. Remove the headband, and glue the ears in place with the bottom edge on the underside of the hairband.
