Make It with Your Favorite Character! Handmade Ideas for Disney Ear Headbands (1–10)
Cinderella headband
Let’s try making a headband inspired by the dreamy world of Cinderella! You can base it on the blue dress the Fairy Godmother gives her, or go with the pink dress Cinderella first made—both are great choices.
To capture Cinderella’s elegant vibe, decorate the ears and the headband with lace, pearls, and cute accessories.
Beyond Cinderella herself, using the colors of the Fairy Godmother’s outfit or the clothes worn by her mouse friends would be a stylish, insider touch too!
Ghost Bride Headband
If you love Disney but want something more than just cute, we recommend the Ghost Bride headband.
Use gray satin and organza fabrics to make Mickey ears.
Attach them to a headband covered in the same fabric, then use a hot glue gun to affix matching veil-like fabric, artificial flowers, and web-like material.
Finally, add small spider charms to complete a bride headband with an ominous vibe.
Coordinate your dress and makeup to match, and try playing the part of a melancholy bride.
Haunted Mansion cast member headband (cat ear-style headband)
Would Disney fans recognize it instantly? It’s a headband in the style of a Haunted Mansion cast member.
Prepare a wide, velour-covered headband.
For the lace pieces, use felt as the base and wrap it to create the parts.
Once you attach the lace pieces, just add a green ribbon and a bat to finish.
For the bat, sew two layers of felt together, stuff it with cotton to give it a plump, more realistic look.
Want to feel like you’ve taken a little trip to Disney? If so, give this a try!

Ariel headband
Ariel, the protagonist of The Little Mermaid, is one of the most beloved Disney Princesses.
How about a headband inspired by Ariel? It might be nice to use mainly turquoise blue tones that evoke her tail and dress.
Once you’ve made ears to your liking, attach them to a base headband.
You can decorate the ears themselves, or add a ribbon to give it an Ariel-like touch.
Pearls, seashells, and even cutlery like the fork Ariel treasured are also recommended as decorations.
Christmas headband
Disney Christmas is one of the most exciting events of the year at Tokyo Disney Resort.
Let’s make a cute headband inspired by Disney Christmas! Use red and green as the main Christmas colors, add colors that evoke the characters’ outfits, and include decorative accents.
It’s also recommended to place Snow Snow, the snowmen shaped like Mickey and Minnie, on top.
Enjoy Disney Christmas with a warm and adorable headband!
[Haunted Mansion-style] Minnie Mouse headband

A chic, Haunted Mansion–style Minnie Mouse headband.
For the ears, sew fabric together and insert foam sheets and stuffing to give them firmness and a rounded shape.
Sew the ears onto a fabric-covered headband base, then attach a lace-and-leather bow.
Finish by adding a name tag.
It takes a bit of time to make, but once you do, you’ll have a sturdy headband you can use again and again.
Try making it with your favorite fabrics!
Toy Story-style Hamm headband
How about a headband inspired by Hamm, the popular piggy bank character from Toy Story? Use pink as the main color and decorate the ears and the base of the headband.
It’s a great idea to add Hamm’s eyes, nose, and tail to the ear sections, or to attach decorations that evoke the coins inside a piggy bank.
You could even shape the ears themselves like Hamm’s ears.
Using different fabrics for the ear portions and the ribbon will add a subtle contrast, even within the same color tone.
Give it a try and make a headband full of love for Hamm!
