Create your own original ears using your favorite fabric and pattern! Cut the fabric according to the pattern and sew it together.
For a soft, fluffy finish, add stuffing inside the ears at the end.
The finished cat ear pieces are great because you can customize them—attach them to a headband, glue them to hairpins, and more! You can also stick them onto items like a pass case or a compact mirror.
We recommend using long-pile, fluffy fabric! Give it a try.

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!

Let’s make a hat with cat ears that’s perfect from autumn through winter! It’s a great idea for kids who love fashion or cat-themed designs.
The best part is that it can be used not only for events but also in everyday life.
Choosing a fluffy knit material will make it even cuter.
You’ll need yarn, a crochet hook, and a thin black ribbon.
You can customize the ribbon and yarn colors, so pick your favorites.
Here’s hoping it turns into a wonderful hat full of your personal touches!
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 costume headgear
You can tuck your whole head in and really become a cat! This is a fun, customizable idea that’s perfect for kids who find headbands make the backs of their ears hurt or for anyone who can’t find a design they like.
Making a pattern might sound tricky, but you can actually create one using a hoodie you already wear! If you add a stiffener to the cat ear parts, they’ll stand up and look adorable.
Plus, the elastic at the neck lets you adjust the size, so you can fit it to a child.
Cat-ear baby hat
It would be wonderful if you could handcraft an adorable cat-ear hat to protect your baby’s head, wouldn’t it? Since it’s an idea you can make with a pattern and your favorite fabric, even those who feel not so confident about sewing should give it a try! What you’ll need are smooth knit fabric for babies and Resilon thread.
You can use regular thread as well, but Resilon is better suited for stretch materials, so use it if possible.
Adding embroidered cat features will make it even cuter!
