Cute cat ears you can make with 100-yen shop items
It’s great when you can get all the materials at a 100-yen shop—it makes it easy and fun to give it a try.
This is an idea I’d recommend even to those taking on handmade crafts for the first time! You’ll need items like sponge sheets, a template, scissors, black fabric, a hot glue gun, frilled ribbon, a headband, a lighter, and ribbon embellishments.
Since you won’t be using a sewing machine or needles, it’s easy to start.
Making a matching tail to wear with the headband would be adorable, too! You can enjoy customizing it as well.
Become your favorite kitty!
Design your own cat ears and create a one-of-a-kind, special pair just for you! When you think of cat ears, many people might picture black or white ones.
But it’s also wonderful to make a headband packed with kids’ free ideas and favorite designs! You’ll need a headband, fabric, glue, ribbon, cardboard, scissors, glitter paper, and more.
It seems people often choose materials to match certain characters, but using a variety of materials like this can really bring out your individuality!
Cat-ear headband made with yarn
https://www.tiktok.com/@mery.jp/video/7289366774162803975These are soft, fluffy headbands with a pleasant feel—perfect for Halloween costumes or for kids who love cats.
You’ll need a headband, wire, yarn, glue, ribbon, pearl stickers, and small bells.
Apply glue to both ends of the headband and wrap the yarn around it.
Shape the wire into ears, attach them to the headband, and secure them by wrapping yarn around while gluing in place.
Finally, decorate with ribbons, bells, and pearl stickers, and you’re done!
Cat ears made with faux fur
It would be delightful to wear a headband with a fluffy, real-cat-like feel, wouldn’t it? This time, let’s make some cute cat ears using a pattern and faux fur fabric.
What you’ll need: a pattern, faux fur fabric, lining fabric, duct tape, pins, and a sewing machine.
Store-bought ones are nice too, but the warmth and flexibility of handmade items are really appealing.
Choosing fabrics with your child and spending time making them will become a cherished memory as well.
These will be a hit at recitals or any event where you can dress up!
How to fold cat ears
With just black and yellow origami paper, glue, and scissors, you can make realistic cat ears! The key is to cut the origami to the size you need before you start.
Apply glue and lift the paper to give the ears a three-dimensional finish, and you’ll have adorable cat ears.
It’s also nice to clip them to your hair with hairpins.
When attaching the black and yellow origami together, using double-sided tape or similar may help prevent the papers from peeling apart.
Easy cat ears with construction paper!
All you need to do is attach paper cat ears to a simple headband you can buy at a 100-yen shop, and you’re done! The only materials are a basic headband, two colors of construction paper, and glue.
You can just cut the paper into triangles and stick them on, but it might look a bit flimsy.
For sturdier, more realistic cat ears, it’s best to fold the paper to add thickness and dimension.
Changing the color inside the ears makes them look even more lifelike, so try layering two sheets of construction paper to create cat ears with a carefully crafted finish.
oni; demon; ogre; spirit (depending on context)
Here’s how to make an oni costume without a pattern.
Prepare yarn, glue, and felt.
First, cut yellow felt, sew the waist and hem to form a skirt.
Attach tiger-stripe patterns cut from black felt, and insert elastic at the waist to finish.
For the oni horns, cut felt into a half-circle.
Shape it into a rounded triangle, then attach the tiger-pattern black felt.
Wrap yarn around a book to add volume for the oni hair.
Use the remaining yarn to secure the horns and the bundled yarn, and the horn mask is complete.
It’s a simple method, so give it a try!
