Easy DIY Deer Ears

Like I said in my last post, I am all about the easy (but still fun!) Halloween costumes. So I figured I'd show you a quick way to make DIY ears for a deer costume!


This is a really inexpensive DIY, which makes it even better in my opinion. 


And here are the steps!


Step 1: Cut out an orange piece of felt in your desired shape and size. Cut a smaller, off-white piece to be the inside of the ear.
Steps 2-3: Apply hot glue to the back of the smaller felt piece, and glue it to the larger piece.
Step 4: Cut a 1 inch slit up the middle of the felt pieces.


Step 5: Apply a line of hot glue to the left side of the slit you've cut in the felt.
Step 6: Overlap the right side over the left side and glue together. You've got an ear!
Step 7: Cut a small tab the width of the bottom of the ear. 
Step 8: Glue to the front of the ear.


Steps 9-10: Apply hot glue to the back of the tab, fold around and glue to the back of the ear.
Steps 11-12: Use a black marker to outline the top of the ear and give dimension. (Or you can use a liquid eyeliner if you don't have a black marker on hand... No judging!)


Ta-da! Easy as pie, dears.
