And this is what I've been working on the past couple of weeks, I'm excited to have them finished. I used Beetlecat's fox ear tutorial ([link] ) to make the fox ears, and modified it a little for the cat ears. I used the hard felt to make the base of the ears, and the elastic is jewelry bead elastic, which I hot glue gunned into the ears.

The part I'm happiest with is the pink in the cat ears. All I had was fluffy white fabric, no pink whatsoever. So, at first I dyed the insides of the ears with a Prismacolor pink marker. However, when I left the right sides together to sew them, the pink had dyed the white part as well. >.< So, I made the best of the situation. I washed the two pieces together in soap and water, rubbing them against each other so that the pink would dye the white a lighter pink. Then, I heat set it using the low setting on my hair dryer. The result was a fabulous shade of pink that is, as far as I know, pretty colorfast. X3

The part I'm least proud of is the trimming on the cat ears. I did my best, but I couldn't get the inside as short as I wanted. I wish I had a dog hair trimmer, that would've helped a lot.

As for the fox ears, they sit very oddly on my head, but otherwise I like how they look.
