BatBook: DIY Minnie Mouse Ears
So for the 2nd part of the Minnie Mouse Costume is a DIY for Minnie's Ears! These are super easy and can also work for cat ears, rabbit ears, or any other costumes that you need ears for!
1. You will need a hot glue gun, some black craft foam and a headband.
2. Start with measuring the width of your headband on a piece of foam. Then draw another width of your headband above it. My pieces of foam were not long enough for the whole headband so I had to cut 2 strips.
3. Cut out the strips of foam.
4. Now start gluing your foam to your headband. I would recommend that you glue a little bit at a time and not draw a long line of glue around your headband because the glue dries quick and then you would have a bunch of dry glue.
5. Since I used 2 strips of foam I have some that was longer than my headband. If you have this problem then just cut the extra off.
6. Set your headband aside. Take a piece of foam and cut a circle out of it. To get the right size you can cut a large circle then measure how big it would be on your head, then just keep sizing it down until you get the right size.
7. Trace your circle 3 more times, so you end up with 4 circles.
8. Now glue the top section together. You want to make sure that half of it's not glued.
9. Position the circle on your headband.
10. Glue the bottom together.
11. If you have openings on the sides (like shown) just put your glue gun in there and glue them together.
12. You now have your own pair of Minnie/ Mickey Mouse ears!
