Glue finished ear to headband making sure the thicker area where the ear is folded is held down with a good blob of glue until it has dried so it holds well.

underneath.
Take a grey / pink inside ear and put a bead of hot glue around the edge and stick to the white ear.
Using the black felt, fold it into 4 and cut random dots out. Lay the dots on the white ear and then using a little zig zag of hot glue, glue them on.
Attach ears to headband at aprox. the 10:00 and 2:00 position.
