Q&A for How to Make Cat Ears

Please don't. For safety purposes, glue does not go on your head. Try making them clip-on.

If you do decide to do that, you'd need to cut short pieces of yarn and then tie one piece into a knot in the middle, brush out either end, and sew it onto a regular felt base. Just getting craft fur would take a lot less time.

It may be difficult, but yes, you can.

Sure. Use the pipe cleaners for ears and wrap colored tape around them, then tape that to a headband or bandana.

Yes, you can customize them in a lot of ways.

Of course not! You can make them whatever color you want them to be.

Yes, you could use that.

These are not extremely accurate ears. For more detailed ears, you may want to put black fur felt (or whatever color you are using) on the back of the paper (pointing away from your face) and shorter pink fur (or white or grey) on the front.

No. You could always sew it together if you're making it with a headband.

Probably not. Felt is more susceptible to gravity, not to mention harder to glue things to, so I would suggest sticking with construction paper.

Yes, but you might have to put something more sturdy behind it. You could use construction paper or cardboard, for example.

Fabric/craft stores such as Michael's or Jo-Anne's Fabrics offer a variety or materials and fabrics. You may also want to check out a thrift store for some old clothing that you can buy for a low cost and cut up.

Make 2 layers of cloth and have wires in between to hold them in place. It should work.

Yes, but the final result could be bumpy, you might want to cover it with faux fur for the best results.

You can use felt or any patterned material, if you’re going for the cutesy look.
