[For Costumes and Cosplay] How to Make a Cute Bunny Ears Headband (1–10)
Invisible bunny ears headband
These invisible-headband bunny ears are extra cute with their fluffy faux fur.
First, prepare faux fur that matches your wig’s hair color.
Trace a pattern so the finished size will be about 25 cm.
Place it on the faux fur fabric and cut out four pieces, making sure they’re symmetrical left and right.
Pair the pieces and sew along the sides, but leave two openings at the bottom so you can insert two wires into each ear.
Thread the wires in from the inside of the wig, then slide the ear pieces over the wires from above, and you’re done.
Since they’re wired, you can bend and pose them freely—so fun!
Bunny ears with an oversized ribbon
A headband with extra-large bunny-ear bows that any girl would dream of trying on at least once.
The big bow looks just like bunny ears—so cute! Make a pattern in your preferred size and cut two identical pieces from fabric.
Sew them together and stuff them with batting.
Align the bow on the headband, then wrap another piece of fabric around the center to secure it.
And that’s it—your bow headband is complete! If you want to cover the headband base with the same fabric, sew a tube to match the headband’s length and width, slide it over the band, and sew the ends closed.
The key is not to overstuff the bow with batting!
Felt flower bunny ears
Bunny ears are a cosplay item that can easily make anyone look cute, no matter their age.
They’re also easy to customize, so you can casually show off your personality.
To make them, attach ear frames made from wire to a store-bought wide plastic headband.
Cover the ears with felt or thick paper in your favorite color.
Here’s a little tip: using faux fur from a craft store for the ears gives them a more realistic, fluffy look.
Adding a cute ribbon or elegant lace between the ears to personalize them makes it even better.
bandana bunny-ear headband
Here’s an idea for a wire headband using a bandana you can even find at a 100-yen shop.
Fold the bandana into a triangle and cut it 6 cm above the base.
Unfold the bandana and glue it, leaving a 5 cm opening for turning.
Turn the fabric right side out, thread the wire through the inside, then glue the opening closed.
Since exposed wire can be dangerous, make sure to curl both ends.
And that’s it—your wire headband is complete.
Twist it on top of your head to fasten it, and it’ll look like cute bunny ears.
Realistic animal ears
Here’s a recommended idea for anyone who wants to make realistic bunny ear headbands.
The video shown isn’t about rabbit ears, but you can use the same method to create realistic rabbit kemonomimi ears! Use a pattern to cut the ear pieces from faux fur fabric and sew them together.
Cut shape-memory plastic sheets into bunny ear shapes and heat them while gently curving them inward to form the shape.
Insert the plastic into the sewn ears, glue it to the fabric, then attach the ears to a headband to finish.
If you want to go the extra mile, you can brush and trim the fur to neaten the texture, and even add color with pastels.
Shapeshifting bunny ears made with lace
This is a bunny ear headband you can make with just three items: a headband, wire, and lace fabric.
First, cut the wire to an appropriate length and form it into ear shapes.
Wrap the wire around the headband to secure it, then use a hot glue gun to adhere it.
Once it’s firmly fixed, attach lace fabric to both sides so that it sandwiches the wire.
Finally, trim off any excess fabric with scissors, and you’re done! By bending the wire, you can create various styles like droopy bunny ears or a headband with just one ear folded.
Bunny-ear headband made with your favorite fabric
These stylish and cute bunny-ear headbands are easy to make.
You’ll need a headband, chenille stems (pipe cleaners), headband tape, and your favorite fabric—all of which you can get at a 100-yen shop.
Prepare four pieces of fabric; for one piece, sew it right sides together so it can cover the headband.
Slip it over the headband and attach headband tape at the ends to finish the base.
For the ears, stitch the ear pattern with a sewing machine, turn them right side out, and thread the pipe cleaners through.
Sew the ears to the base with thread, and you’re done.
You can pose the ears however you like, so kids will love it!
