With halloween coming, my town has a halloween parade. The studio my daughter dances in is going to be in the parade. They will be black cats. The gave instruction of how they should dress. One thing they said is they need a tail and ears. The tail is no problem. The ears are my problem. Not sure how to make them. I know to just use a head band, but not sure how to design the ears. I figure I'd make triangles but I'm not sure to stuff them or what to do with them. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Cover the headband with velvet or some such fabric. Make wide triangles with card, and cover them with fabric - black on the back and pink in the front. Fold the outside corners of those wide triangles towards the centre and stitch them down. Then sew the ears to the covered headband. Should work? . In message , mb from pa writes
Floral wire in the ear points, and you'll want a dart on the inside of the triangles so they will curve more.
For attaching to the headband, I suggest simply using hot glue if you have it.

Make them out of fur fabric and stiffen them rather than stuffing them. I did this with these mouse ears:
I thought some of you might remember them... ;)
Now I sport The Hairy Nose:
As for that little mouse... He was six then. He'll be 12 in a week's time!
