Minnie Mouse with these Easy DIY Ears

BE MINNINE.MOUSE

My daughter loves Disney and anything Minnie Mouse. So when I took my family on Holidays last year to Disneyland California I knew we would end up with quite a few Ears before going home.

The great thing about this, is that they are really well made, great quality ears and perfect for reproducing the correct sized ear template.

Because little miss can be a little heavy handed and i dont want her holiday ears ruined, I have made a few different reproduction ears since our holiday (which I will share with everyone soon)  which are super easy and fun to make.

All you need are a few simple supplies.

 1. Headband

2. Fabric of your choice 

3. Soft foam

4. Glue

5. Sewing machine

It really is simple and easy to make super soft but Strong Mickey or Minnie ears if you following these steps.

1. Cut out fabric to template of ears which you can find here.

You can make these ears 2 different ways .
