Description
Hooray! My first tutorial!Inspiration: I was looking to buy elf ears, saw the prices and Bam! Inspiration. In my first attempt I used aluminum foil, double stick tape, and plastic wrap. Later, as I got addicted to craft foam by making armor, I came to this method. I just had to make this tutorial for the good of my fellow deviants (and for fame and fortu...well, fame.)
But enough of my silliness, here's the link to my patterns: [link]
I hope this tutorial is helpful, and if you have any questions, just comment or note me.

Thanks for sending me the link, this sure will help because my dad and I might go to the craft store tonight to get some stuff for my red OOT Link cosplay, and we could pick up the supplies so this weekend when I start my costume ( I would have last weekend, but my grandma, who's helping me, was out of town) and I can start make the ears too :3

I like this tut - im makin them righ tnow. i went out and bought evyerhting but instead of hot glue i got craft foam glue..which apprently is not worki what so friggin ever........"wait 1-2 minutes then connect firmly" its been half and hour and it sticks barely. rofl.

Yeah, I like super glue and hot glue to make bumps, most other glues take forever to dry, hence your problem. Perhaps I should make a list of substitutes that work and ones that do not.

Sweet idea for elf ears! I get the feeling that the idea's going to come in handy as I begin to cosplay more... 
You wouldn't have any tips on making armor for cosplays to go a long with your elf ear tutorial would you?

Oh speaking of a lot of work I've got to basic start the Link costume from scratch, I probably won't get to the ears
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I hear ya; if you're really crunched on time, I've made them with aluminum foil, covered it with double stick tape, and then covered that with plastic wrap. I would also recommend this tutorial: [link]

I need help get the pring out pattern for elf ears
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Click on the link in my comment, then press "open" and print it. If the program it opens it in doesn't let you print it, then click "save" instead of "open" and save it to your computer and then open it manually in the program of your choice and print it out. Just make sure that you print it at 100% instead of "fit to page".
