Description
NEW!!!: Tutorial on how to attach cat ears to various items: [link]My first tutorial! I made this method up, so I thought I'd share. (I'm sure someone's thought of it before though.) I hope it's easy to understand. If I misspelled anything or something sounds weird, just let me know.
So I made these cat ears for my Cat Returns cosplay and when I was done, I thought to make a tutorial. The ear in the early pictures is a felt one I did real quick for pictures. My final product ended up being in fleece. And now they look lopsided on the wig. Gah. I haaated sewing them to the wig.
Pattern: [link]
Forgive me, I have no idea what size this will turn out to be. >> But it's easy enough to resize it.
Also, I would love to see any ears made with this!

I'm probably the biggest idiot in the world, but, how do you sew the ears on a wig?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Valid question! I actually had a tutorial I was looking at, but it seems to be down. D: So I'll try to explain!
Put the ear right where you want it on the wig and hold it in place. Then turn the wig inside out so you can see the wefts.[link] See the black part with the brown stitches? That's what you're going to want to sew it to most.
[link] and this is what it looks like on the outside. Wow I'm sorry if that didn't help at all. >> I will probably end up making a tutorial on various methods of attachment.

I think a tutorial would be awesome. I have a bow, so it would work similar to the ears, and a horn to put on my wig, and haven't seen anything on how to do that.

I've been keeping this in my messages for about a month to remind myself to make an attachment tutorial. As soon as I get home from AX I will do it! Sorry, I've been busy!

It's no big deal, lol! Just whenever you want to, no rush!

I'm using these for my Remus Lupin cosplay <3

Ohh, you cosplay Remus too? Awesome! I actually made a pair for mine using this with fake fur and it works just the same. :3 (just a note, because I think the tutorial still says I am unsure of other materials, I need to fix that.) And I would love to see them when you're done!

Thank you so much

so you don't stff them with fluff?
all you need to do is fold?

Fleece sticks up pretty good by itself and so does faux fur and felt. Anything else you might need to stuff with something, just not too much.

I think I might use this for my Ikuto cosplay

What kind of hair pins? I made some ears and attached them to clips like this: [link] so I could take a few pictures of what I did.
But if you were thinking of different kinds of pins, send me a picture and I could figure it out!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually, those hair clips look like they'd be much easier to attach to than what I was thinking of(bobby pins) XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohh, yeah I've never tried using bobby pins.
Unfortunately, my camera does not feel like taking pictures today (I did take some.. but they didn't save? Weird) but I think it's easy enough to explain.
When you open up the clip there is one pointy thing that sticks out and there's the frame for the pointy thing. You're gonna want to sew the frame to the ear. I have the clip running along the side of the ear that touches my hair and pointing down. This probably won't stick in your hair unless you have a pony tail or are using a wig. I'm using it for a wig, so I just stick it in the wefts.
If you want it to stick in your hair, experiment with the clip a little to see which way it sticks best before you put the ears on.
Hope that helped! And it made me think I should make a tutorial on attachment, so I think I'll start working on one. :3

That might help XD; 'cause one of my friends suggested sewing a pipe cleaner into the bottom of the ears and idk if that would affect the attachment process any unless I were to just glue it to the clips like she suggested o3o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmm, what would you use the pipe cleaner for?
And I would suggest against glue. Sewing is less messy!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She suggested to shape them to be open.
lol we'll see XD I'm going to wait until I have my wig to start on the ears anyway so I can try to match the color XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohh.
And if you use a wig, you can just sew them in! Unless you don't want it to be permanent, in that case clips are good.
Good luck!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Definately don't want them to be permanent since the character I'm cosplaying doesn't have them all the time XD
Thanks :3

I'm not a big cosplayer (I dress normally at cons, but I might make a kimono sometime), but these would look very pretty on a hat!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks!
If you ever put them on a hat I would love to see!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're welcome!
Maybe I'll try making a fleece hat for the con, or both
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The con will be in February, so I guess I'll make the hat a week before. I'll try to remember. C:
