This is a request tutorial for for canine ears. Being that it's sled dog season, I decided to make husky ears, though this would work for wolves, foxes, etc. I've included a more in-depth guide so you don't have to have bleeding eyes from my hideous writing. x3 Let me know what you think, and I hope this was helpful!

1. Cut your fur. You'll need two elongated triangles per ear, make the inside fur a bit smaller than the outside, or else it will just look flat.
2. Line up your corresponding shapes-this means the inside and outside of each ear.
3. Turn your fur inside out, so that the backing is on the outside. Tuck your fur inside of the backing-don't let it stick out. Then sew the very tips together.
4. Sew from each corner of the ear to the tip you just sewed-but don't sew up the bottom, we'll need to stuff that later.
5. Finish up the edging, checking for holes and weakness in the fabric to prevent later disgust when your ears fall apart.
6. Turn your ears right-side out again and pull the fur out of the seams-I use a rat-tailed comb. Dog brushes work, but make sure you're careful so you don't tear the stitches.
7. Voila! Now to stuff them!
8. I use foam, but thick felt, plastic sheeting, and just about any other semi-flexible material is okay. Cut your shape to just a bit smaller than your ears.
9. Just showing how thick my foam generally is.
10. Glue the backing!!! to the material. Do NOT glue the fur-this means turning it inside out again. Make sure you glue the sheeting, felt, etc. to the BACK of your ears-this allows you to shape them more thoroughly in a minute.
11. Shape your ears, outlining the shell with glue (I use hot glue) and press firmly. Then you can fold your ears to whatever angle floats your boat.
12. And we're done! I hope you liked this tutorial, the next one to come will be airbrushing and applying to an elastic headband!
