Degree of difficulty:
  • Intermediate/advance sewing when made with fur.
  • Beginner/Intermediate sewing when made with felt.


Materials Needed:
  • Purchased head band - I found the one used here in a 3 pack at a Dollar type store.
  • Fur fabric or felt- An economical source for fur is old fur coats at thrift stores - more on Cutting And Sewing Fake Fur
  • Pink Felt for inside of ear
  • Long pipe cleaners or craft wire (approximately 2 yards divided into two 1 yard pieces)
  • Heavy tape (electrical, masking or duct)
  • Optional: Fusible web such as Stitch Witchery
  • Thread - I recommend that you use button and carpet thread for the hand sewing.
  • Print out of pattern
  • Optional: glue or spray adhesive and enough of the body of the ear fabric to cover the head band.
