Easy Cat Ears You Can Make with Origami!
Let’s try making cat ears out of origami with children! It sounds fun to make cat ears using your favorite colored paper, doesn’t it? The steps are simple, but there are a few slightly tricky parts, so it’s best to make them together with a teacher or guardian.
Children in the older kindergarten classes should be able to enjoy it.
If you want to wear them, you can attach them with low-tack tape, or make a crown out of construction paper and a rubber band, then stick the cat ears on so you can wear them.
Creating a three-dimensional look is the key, so take your time and add your own touches!
Easy: Paper Cup Headband
A headband made by arranging a paper cup.
Paint the paper cup and attach an elastic band around the rim.
For example, paint it orange for a jack-o’-lantern or black for a bat.
Use origami or construction paper to finish the piece.
Just imagining the headband perched cutely on the head feels heartwarming.
Since paper cups are easy to find, it seems simple to make.
It’s a headband that even small children can enjoy making, whether painting with paints or using construction paper and origami.

Choose a plain headband without decorations, and furry-type yarn is recommended.
First, glue the yarn to one end of the headband and wrap it around to cover the entire surface.
Next, shape the wire into cat ears and attach it to the headband.
Tie the yarn to the wire, wrap it around to cover the ears, and glue the ends to finish the base.
Attach bells to the ribbon and decorate any part of the headband you like.
Adding pearls to the ears will give it a more luxurious look.

The most common headbands you see are the cat-ear type.
They’re easy to make and cute, but I worry they’ll get lost in the crowd.
So why not add a touch of princess flair with a little extra effort? Try mixing a basic 100-yen shop headband with 100-yen frills and a 100-yen princess headband—you’ll have fun crafting a headband that’s uniquely your own kind of cute.
It’ll definitely match whether you’re at Disneyland or USJ.
Since you can make it with items from the 100-yen shop, it’s super affordable.
Matching outfits with friends would be great, too.
Animal headband made with fluffy chenille stems
Animal ear headbands are super cute, aren’t they? You can easily make one using fluffy pipe cleaners sold at 100-yen shops.
Wrap the fluffy pipe cleaner around a headband, shape the ears, and twist to secure.
That’s all it takes to complete your animal headband.
Adding a ribbon makes it even cuter.
If you make the ribbon with a soft, puffy look or add lace, you can create a ribbon that looks like something a princess would wear.
It’s an irresistible headband for princess lovers and kids, don’t you think?
Hamikuma headband
Hamukuma is an original USJ character that appears at Universal Studios Japan’s Halloween Horror Nights.
You’ve started seeing Hamukuma merch outside of USJ, too.
Right in the heart of Halloween, a Hamukuma headband is sure to grab attention.
The key is to attach a spring to one eye so it dangles and boings down; of course, the eyeball should be blue.
Make the teeth a bit crooked, and stick some dried fake blood around the mouth to amp up the vibe even more! If you’re good at crafting, definitely give it a try!
Princess headband
Many people keep their love for cute things no matter how old they get, don’t they? With a headband made using an organza ribbon adorned with pearls, you can create a headband that has a princess-like feel.
Attach a pearl-embellished organza ribbon, shaped like a bow, to the headband, and then add some sparkling tiara-like parts.
You’ll have a princess headband that looks adorable from every angle.
It’s sure to satisfy anyone who wants to dress up as a princess for Halloween, too.
