Template for cats ears

I wish I had known it wasn't pre-cut before buying so I didn't have to go through this headache but it worked out :. Kristina Erlich. Anastasiya Shevtsova. Kassandra Bringuier. Quick View. Rated 5. Add to cart. Rated 4. Search for:. Stretch the fur over the cardboard and glue the edges into place.

Trim off any cardboard that sticks out too much. I glued down the front of the ear first, then the folded edge and then the back. Stretch the back so the fur comes to the front of the bottom of the ear so you don't have any cardboard hanging out.

I added hairclips. I sewed them on because I was worried hot glue could end up causing problems with the hairclips closing. Make sew that if you sew on hairclips you get the needle and thread through the actual fabric backing the fur, and not just in the fur. You want the stitches to be nice and strong. I also made sure to have the fat ends of the hairclips facing the front of my head so they were easier to put on.

Here's a fancy thing I figured out to keep the ears in place. You can anchor the faux fur ears in the braids! You don't have to secure the braid or braid all the way down your hair, either. It's pretty invisible. I've included photos to show you how I did it. The ears survived going up and down stairs, walking up and down the street, and San Francisco wind! Special thanks to Tyler for braving the mean, lean and very busy streets in front of the office to take pictures.

I am cosplaying a character who's deer ears are red furred near the bottom but the top is black furred and I haven't been able to find anything to help me aside from this. Thanks for the tutorial though! I'll be using it for a lot more things than just this one cosplay :.

Thanks for your support! It may be easier to have someone help you make the marks while the band is on your head. Attach the ears to the headband. Use hot glue to attach the cat ears onto the headband in the positions that you marked. Allow at least ten minutes for the glue to dry. Check the finished product. Once the glue has dried, try on the ears. The band should fit your head without sliding. The ears should be standing straight up.

Make any adjustments as needed. Depending on the size of your cat ears and the thickness of the fur, you might not even need any wire to make them stand up; the wire is there for support. If the ears still flop over after you have made them, try filling them with some cardboard or craft foam instead.

Yes No. Not Helpful 5 Helpful Is there any alternative to the fur if I don't have a lot of money and can't buy felt or fur and don't have a cat? Abby Cruz. If you own any old stuffed animals that you don't care for anymore, you can use the fluff from those. Not Helpful 9 Helpful You can always ask a friend or family member. If you're feeling ambitious, you can learn how to sew yourself.

Not Helpful 10 Helpful Yes, if you want, but it may be best to pick the cat's fur off of the cat brush, not the cat itself. Not Helpful 18 Helpful You can make the fur by tearing felt to make fluffy strips.

Then, get the same color felt, and glue or sew the fluffy stripes onto it and then cut out the triangle shape for the ears. Make the shape a bit taller and more pointy. Look at pictures of wolves for reference on how their ears are shaped and then just change the shape. Not Helpful 6 Helpful Just sew or glue it on with a color similar to the color of the felt.

A craft store or someplace that sells fabric. Or you could remove some from a stuffed animal. Not Helpful 12 Helpful Yes, but you may need to expand on your ideas, especially if you are looking to cosplay with them. You could use polymer clay.
