Making your own Mickey Ears
supplies needed:

Instructions:
Step 2: Cut out 4 squares of your choice of fabric.
Step 3: Place cardboard ear on top of the square of fabric and begin to glue down the edges of the fabric, leaving an opening in the bottom of the ear to stuff and leaving a pocket of room for the fiber stuffing in the front.
Step 4: Repeat the last step with the other ear.
Step 5: Stuff both ears with the fiber stuffing and close the opening used to stuff it.
Step 6: Glue the backs of both ears together.
Step 7: Line where the two pieces meet with ribbon.
