How to make cat ears with your own hands. Headband with cat ears - different master classes. How else can you do it at home?
At various masquerades, the costumes of our pets - cats - are very popular. The image will not be complete if cat ears are not present in it. A fun accessory you can make yourself. Making ears is not expensive. Everything you need can be found on your shelf with materials for needlework. The ears themselves can be made of cardboard, fur, or a cat hat can be sewn from fabric. Of course, a more realistic product will be made of fur.
Cat ears: how to make?
To make a carnival headband with ears, you will need a regular hoop (headband). You can make it yourself from wire. It is best if it is extremely thin and invisible in curls. You can choose a headband to match your hair color. Prepare pieces of fabric, fur, decorative elements for decoration - rhinestones, beads. It should be said that cardboard cat ears will not last long. To make fabric and fix their shape, prepare a piece of not very thick wire. You can use suede, leather or their substitute as a material for the ears. Of the tools you will need: a needle, thread, scissors, wire cutters, cardboard or selected fabric - this whole set will help you make cat ears with your own hands.
Ears on the headband
If sewing is difficult for you or the ears need to be done very quickly, you can use ordinary cardboard or any colored paper. Draw a template on paper, and then transfer it to cardboard, leaving 1 cm allowances (if you work with fabric or leather, everything is done according to the same principle, only the details will need to be sewn later).
Cut out the cardboard ears so that there are two blanks for each piece (front and back). Glue the elements. When the glue dries, we can assume that the cat ears are almost ready. The rim will remain to decorate with them - and the accessory is ready. The excess strip (1 cm) must be folded outward. It will allow you to glue the product to the inside of the rim. The tips of the ears should look up. As soon as the product dries, the masquerade element will be ready. You can improve the ears in different ways: glue the cardboard with leather, decorate with rhinestones, beads. The headband itself can be wrapped in fur or colored ribbons to match the color of the suit.
Their ears are fur. Preparation
If you want to make cat ears more realistic, sew them from fur. For work you will need: faux fur, two hairpins, cardboard and glue (it is better to take textile or hot glue). You will also need scissors and a ruler. Ordinary invisibles will not work, the width of the hairpins must be at least one centimeter. You can use alligator bobby pins, bobby pins, or bobby pins.
Cut out the fur ears according to the prepared template. Details should be both made of cardboard and fur - for one ear there is a cardboard blank and two fur ones (front and back). The appearance of the ears can be anything: oval, triangular (it all depends on your desire). For a triangular shape, you need to cut out two equilateral triangles from cardboard.
Working with fur
Open fur cat ears. To do this, attach cardboard templates from the wrong side of the fur and outline them. Leave 1 cm for allowances. Cut out the details.
Paste cardboard blanks with fur parts. The bases with allowances need to be unscrewed a little so that they do not stick to the cardboard.
Unscrew the allowances and glue to the upper surfaces of the hairpins. The bottom should contain the hair and fasten.
After the glue has hardened well, the element will be ready to wear. As you can see, making cat ears with your own hands is very simple, it does not take much time. If you have long hair, make two ponytails on your head and attach hairpins with ears to the elastic bands.
Hat with cat ears. cutting
A cap with ears will have four cut details. The pattern is drawn according to the principle of a children's cap, which can consist of four or six parts. To calculate the size of the wedge, divide the head circumference (in cm) by four. Add 1.5 cm for allowances on each side of the wedge. The length of the product is approximately 20-23 cm.
There should be four parts (two front, two back). The template can be drawn independently of any shape - triangular or oval. In the process of sewing, the facing of the cap is cut out. You will need an elastic band 2 cm wide, its length should be half the girth of the head. Sew on a forelock on the hat, for it cut out a piece of rectangular shape from the fur.
Progress
Details are cut out with seam allowances. Fur should be sewn into the ears in this way: cut the part in the middle, retreating from the edge 2 cm, put the fur on the bottom, then stitch the main part, leaving a 2 cm hem.
After that, you need to connect the parts without fur with the parts with fur, turn it over, turn it on the front side. Sew the lining, connecting the blanks in pairs. Next, assemble the top, in the same way as the lining on the blanks, while inserting the ears into the seams. Sew a rectangle-forelock prepared from fur in front. Now you need to connect the lining and the top of the cap along the bottom.
You can prepare a stitched cuff as follows: create a rectangle-shaped part, the length of which will be equal to the circumference of the cap along the bottom plus a seam allowance, take a width of 3 cm plus a seam allowance. The obtachny cuff is cut out of fabric, as at the top cap. It is necessary to sew a cuff (stitch on one side) and connect it into a ring, then sew this part along the bottom of the cap. Our hat with cat ears is almost ready. Now you need to take the elastic and sew it to the back of the piping cuff. Bend the facing inside out and stitch onto the hat. The seam should be 3 cm wide. On the sides of the elastic, it is necessary to make bartacks on the front side.
It is very popular, not a single costume party can do without it. The most important attribute of the image is cat ears. This detail is the most popular and traditionally associated with a cat. In this article, we will tell you several ways to make cat ears with your own hands.
Option 1: Ears made of cardboard
Following our instructions, you will make cat ears quickly and easily. To do this, you need to get: a headband, ribbon and cardboard. You just need to wrap the hoop, cut out the ears and glue.
Choose a color. What color cat do you want to dress up as? Depending on this, you need to select a ribbon and cardboard - white, gray, red or black.
We wrap the rim with ribbon.
That's all. Wait for the glue to dry and adjust the ears slightly if necessary. Congratulations! You made cat ears on the headband with your own hands.
Option 2: Ear Clips
To keep the lines straight, use a ruler. Your ears can be any size, as long as they are the same.
On a piece of foam, draw the future ears of a triangular shape.
Cut out. If possible, point the scissors towards the outside of the strips.
Now you need to make a triangle of wool or feathers 1-2 cm larger than cat ears with your own hands.
We make another triangle of the same size for the second ear.
Let your ears dry. This will take about an hour.
Put on your cat ears and enjoy!
Option 3: Do-it-yourself fluffy cat ears
Make ears out of artificial wool, just like a cat's!
The triangle shape is the simplest. If you have enough strength and patience, you can make the tips rounded, but it will be more difficult to work with the ears. Or look at pictures of cats and make the ears the same shape.

Oh…. Festivals, parties, meetings, anime….
And what kind of anime cosplay happens, you just wipe your drool. I immediately want one. But what to do when it is not, and is not expected?
The answer is simple - you can make yourself nekomimi to calm your soul, so that everyone else knows that you are also an anime fan) Especially since you look so kawaii in them (measured by a friend / friend / in a store).
To begin with, I will give a brief background, what is it?
Neko-mimi (jap. ??) - Anime and manga characters with cat tails and ears, usually adding the words "nya", "chi", "pu" to all phrases. Thanks Vicki for the tip.
Now I’ll try to tell you how you can make yourself neko-ears yourself, without buying them in a store. Let it not stop you that your hands do not grow from your shoulders - the main thing is to try, and everything will definitely work out (albeit 100 times) ...
Since there is no definite way to make ears, I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the 4 most common ones (the great Internet helped me). Do not forget - this is only a template, and everything depends only on your boundless imagination.
Shall we start?)
Method 1: Or how to become a chibi.
I admit, it's not a very clear way, but whoever really wants to, probably figure it out))
Method 2
1. Stencil cut out two mirror parts from fur and two parts from any material you choose for the inner surface of the ear (I usually use lining fabric).
2. We sew the fur and fabric with the front sides inward, tucking the protruding fur inward.
3. Ears turned out. Now we tuck and sew the lower fur edge of the ears to the inside of the ear. This will allow us to mask the place where the ears are sewn to the headband.
4. You will need a hairband.
5. Sew the ears to the rim in the shape of the letter J
6. We wear with pleasure
Method 3 - In my opinion the simplest:
So, how do you make cat ears :-) Take a glass of flour and two eggs… No, this is for pancakes (and who came up with this name: ><), перелистываем а для ушей… Ага вот рецепт.
First two ingredients:
1. Purposefulness and determination. Nothing would ever happen without them. Checked.
2. You need to go to the mall and buy shoulder pads. Shoulder pads are sold in pairs, colors are black and white, made of foam rubber, covered with fabric
3. There you also need to buy a hairband. We will attach ears to it
Since headbands come in different sizes, as well as heads, it is recommended to check the compatibility of the head with the headband that will be worn on it. Or vice versa, headband compatibility
4. You need a pattern for the ear. Through long precision measurements, a simple but suitable shape for the ear was obtained.
5. Two ears are cut according to the pattern from one shoulder pad. From the shoulder pad remains hello to McDonald's. “McDonald's is gothic! Preved, handsome, zahady.
6. The fabric on the cut out ear must be somehow fixed. It was decided to sew it on. It is better to entrust sewing on to a specially trained woman. …However, it was necessary to think earlier. It was necessary to first cut the fabric, along a larger contour, and then the foam rubber, along a smaller contour, then everything would be sheathed normally, in our case it did not work, the fabric had to be simply glued.
7. Then the ears must be fixed on the rim! The process of aligning the ears and determining the angle of their inclination in relation to the rim is not shown in the illustrations. It is better to entrust the sewing of ears to the rim to the same woman - she is excellent at it
8. Test. With a slight movement of the comb, the ears turn into ...
4 way:
1) The very first and most difficult part is to find the fur.
We need fur on a rigid basis. You can buy it, which is quite difficult.
1a) A more vital option is to rip open an old unnecessary fur coat.
The coat is taken. The lining is carefully ripped apart (as a rule, the fur and the lining are not sewn, if they are sewn, it is cut straight). We get a large piece of fur lining.
2) On its reverse side, we outline future boundaries - an isosceles triangle.
At the same time, the sides of the triangle, regardless of the size of the future ear, should be taken half a centimeter more. This is the material - which will be spent on sewing. We need 4 such triangles. (in the figure, the pattern is marked in red, and the future ear is marked in yellow)
3) Cut out the triangles and take 2 pairs. With each pair we take steps 4) -7) By the way, when the pattern is cut, the fur villi are slightly pulled away from the scissors!
4) Sew the triangles on the sides.
IMPORTANT!!! They need to be sewn with the right side to each other, and then only turned inside out. Otherwise, it will turn out very ugly!
5) We also sew the edges of the base.
6) We fill the resulting ear with filler through the base. As a filler, the trimmings obtained during the manufacturing process of the ears are EXCELLENT. Cotton wool will do the same.
7) Sew the base to the end. We get 2 triangular cat ears. You can put them to your head and say "nya".
8) Sew a few invisible hairpins to the base of the ear. Such an ear can be worn if you have hair or a hat (the latter is much better) that can withstand it.
8a) We sew the ears to the hair bow (sold in the children's world, the household market, any haberdashery ...). It is better to take an arc with twisted wire, to which it is a pleasure to sew.
Someone is ready. We put it on our heads and jump for joy !!!

And this is my version of the ears made in one of the ways))

Quite often you can meet a girl with an ornament on her head in the form of cat ears. This adds to the image of cuteness. But often this accessory is used for theatrical and carnival costumes. Consider how to make cat ears, a step-by-step and detailed master class on making them using various techniques.
Learning how to make cute cat ears: a master class with a choice of material
Costumed performances are often in educational institutions from kindergarten to university. One of the roles can often be found a cat: Cheshire, a scientist, from the fairy tale "Cat's House". To make the character immediately recognizable, you need to make ears.
There is a wide variety of materials from which an accessory can be made: wire, thread, cardboard, fabric, felt or fur. The ears are attached to a regular hairband, which can be purchased at any store. Bright and soft materials are suitable for girls, for boys, for example, for the role of a scientist cat, you can make ears from dark felt, cardboard or wire.
Let's take a closer look at how to make cat ears with your own hands. Let's start with the simplest option - cardboard ears. Suitable material is in every home. To give a suitable color, you can paint with watercolors or gouache. So, for the manufacture you will need cardboard, scissors, glue and a plastic rim, which can be replaced with a cardboard rim, if suddenly this was not at home, and there is no way to get to the store.
From the cardboard you need to cut out two rhombuses, then fold them in half, while wrapping around the rim. Lubricate with glue and connect the halves to form a triangle. It remains to let dry, and the accessory is ready.
Another option for quick manufacturing is wire ears. The wire is bent at an angle to give the shape of an eye, the ends are bent so that it can be fixed on the rim. If the accessory is made for a girl, then the wire can be decorated with beads, fixing them in the right place with super glue. After the decor is completed, the ears are glued to the rim, and the attachment point is covered with a piece of leather or leatherette.
The accessory can be made from more durable materials, such as fabric, fur, fleece or felt. Also, needlewomen can use their skills and crochet ears.
To make felt ears, you will need:
- Threads to match
- Scissors
- Sheet of paper and pencil
- Colour-matched headband
If a suitable rim was not found, you can take a rim of any color and a satin ribbon to match the ears. And wrap the selected rim with tape.
First of all, you need to prepare a template. To do this, you need to fold a sheet of paper in half and draw an eye in such a way that its base is located on the fold. Then cut out the resulting blank and attach it to the felt. You can circle with a fabric pencil or fix paper with a needle to cut the same blanks from felt.
Attach the resulting templates one by one and bend around the rim, sew at the base as close to it as possible. Then, to the top of the eyelet, on one side, sew the parts with an overcast seam, fill the resulting pocket with cotton wool and sew the part to the end. It turns out as a result of such a charming volumetric bezel:
To knit an accessory you will need:
- Suitable threads
- bezel
- Hook
- Cardboard
- Stitch marker
This description is for a fairly thick yarn, for which hook No. 4 is recommended.
Around the rim, you need to tie 12 single crochets, make a lifting loop and tie another row without increments behind the front wall, turn the work around and once again knit 12 single crochets behind the front wall. Thus, we get a circle of 24 columns. Insert the cardboard cut out in triangles and knit around it. This is done to give rigidity. Knit the third row without increments for both walls of the loop. Next, knit according to the following description, all work is done with single crochets:
4 row: 2 columns together, 8 columns, 2 together, 2 more times together, 8 columns, 2 together (it turned out 20)
5 row: 2 tbsp. together, 7 st., 2 st. together, verse 9 (18)
6 row: 2 tbsp. together, 6 tbsp., 2 tbsp. together, 8 tbsp. (16)
7 row: 2 tbsp. together, 5 tbsp., 2 tbsp. together, 7 tbsp. (14)
8 row: 2 tbsp. together, 4 tbsp., 2 tbsp. together, 6 tbsp. (12)
9 row: 2 tbsp. together, 3 tbsp., 2 tbsp. together, 5 tbsp. (10)
10 row: 2 tbsp. together in a circle (5)
Sew up the hole with a needle.
Knitted ears are also decorated with children's hats.
The knitting pattern for such ears is quite simple:
And the last manufacturing option is made of faux fur.
To do this, you will need faux fur, a headband covered with fabric, a needle and thread, lining fabric, paper with a pencil, scissors and a thin synthetic winterizer or foam rubber to fill the ears.
Draw a template on paper, the sides of which are 1 cm larger than the required dimensions (seam allowance). We cut out the blank and, using it, cut out two parts from the lining fabric and from the fur. We fold the details in pairs with fur and fabric (right side to each other) and sew on both sides. We turn the parts inside out, then put the filler in and sew up to the end. We sew the resulting ears to the rim and admire the result:

There is very little left until the funniest holiday, 26 days to be exact. Many people think about carnival costumes or costume elements for the New Year. This year, as we all know, has passed under the sign of the Cat. In preparation for New Year's parties last year, I staged a dance of Cats with the children and thought about how I could make ears.
Probably many faced the problem of creating ears. They either turn out to be some kind of pig, then donkey ... but cat's in no way. In general, a lot of problems and a lot of unnecessary scraps of fabric. But at first glance, it all seems extremely simple.
We will need:
- A small piece of fur (will replace wool for us)
Small piece of cloth (for the inside of the ear)
- Thread, needle, scissors, pencil
- Thin metal rim (ears will be held on it)
- A piece of cardboard or thick paper.
Step one:
Take a pencil and a piece of cardboard. Draw a shape like this:
The size of the figure depends on the size of the ear. The small ear is a small figure, the big ear is a big figure. After you have drawn, do not rush to cut
Step back from the edges of your figure about 1 cm and draw a second line. It should turn out like this:
On the red line and cut out a figure from cardboard.
Step two:
Take the fabric from which you are going to make the ears. Lay the figurine on the fabric and circle. Then carefully cut out parts of the future ear from the fabric. When cutting, make sure that the fur part is slightly larger than the part of the fabric.
Now you can act on this card - everything is clear here.
