Taylor, you will find if you cut on the fabric diagonally, your fabric will be a little stretchy(it is called cutting on a bias...it makes curved "seams" lay smoothly each time. Also, if you cut out your fabric with pinking shears(zigzag scissors), it will lay better around the curves.
I found this a few months before my Disney trip earlier last year, and when I tell you mine turned out so well using this tutorial, they were beyond amazing. I used some cheap beauty and the beast fabric I found at walmart and used some red fabric with white dots to do the bow, a normal headband, as well as some cheap trim stuff, all from walmart under $10. When I tell you the ears turned out AMAZING, they came out better than I thought they would. I made a few pairs with different fabrics just to get the hang of it, and I'm going to be honest it took a few tries to get some good pairs. Anywho, I went on my disney trip a month ago wearing the beauty and the beast ears, and I got complimented by at least 4 staff members and a dozen strangers in lines or at restaurants, saying how cute they were, and how I could even open a business. So long story short, yes this tutorial is legit, yes it's time consuming but oh my goodness it was so worth it in the end :)
These are super cute, but I would iron the fabric first. Also, if you don't mind spending the extra $, you could buy plastic needlepoint squares to use instead of cardboard. That way if they get wet, you don't have to worry about ruining your ears.
I know the plastic she’s talking about & no, it’s not heavy at all. In fact, it’s pretty close to the same as cardboard weight wise, but far durable & an awesome idea!!! Wish I’d thought of it before this, as I’ve got an idea for a pair of ears & have the material, but wasn’t as keen on the hot glue gun & cardboard method because I’m using Metallic material for the ears part & I want these to last. So I wasn’t looking forward to sewing these, but using Plastic Canvas could really help me make these doable by sewing, so Thank You So Much!!
Jumping in the car to head to Michaels right now to pick up some Ear Supplies! Thank You Taylor for a very good step by step Ear Guide - Now I know what I'm going to do this weekend!
This was the best step by step no sew mickey ear tutorial EVER!!!! My daughter and I just made a pair and they turned out sooooo great, and I mess up everything lol , but these turned out amazing. THANK YOU again for sharing this :)
This is the BEST tutorial out there. Currently on ear number 6 in the making and even have a friend I’m teaching. So easy and fast and inexpensive!! Thank you so much!
I LOVE THIS!!! I sew a lot and could sew these.. but this is a great alternative as well! Another way you could keep your head band on is do a couple hot glue strips on the inside of the head band and let them dry like that. I did this on the bottom of toddler socks to keep my kid from slipping and you can do it to any clothing item you don't want to constantly fall down. I think it would work quite well in this case!
After seeing how proud you were of your Star Wars ears in the latest Hollywood Studios video, I was hoping you'd make a tutorial. Video was great to watch. Straight-Forward and detailed, as a good tutorial should be. I hate when you're trying to find tutorials for something and the person wastes half the video just jabbering! Thanks for sharing!
Have loved Josh and Taylor's Disney videos for a while so when i searched RUclips for DIY ears and saw this one from Taylor, i knew i had to watch that first. One and done! No need for further instruction from other channels. Taylor you checked all the boxes. Im a craft person anyway so familiar with technique and you gave the best tips! Even a newbie to crafting could do this after watching your vid!!
I made a pair as soon as I finished watching the video and they turned out amazing!! I've struggled making ears by sewing them. This was the perfect tutorial :)
Taylor!! Thank you so so much! I'm literally in the middle of making our ears for our trip next week! I bought cheap ears on Amazon and covered them with fabric, I used premade bows. I LOVE your technique better!! Love the fluff, trim and now I know how to make bows!! I will post pics on Facebook in the next few days.... Thanks! #perfecttiming
Yes yes yes thank you! I am disneybounding for my birthday in Disney Paris next year and I now have the perfect Pluto inspired ears! So easy to follow and relatively cheap too! You are a saint!
Another good tip to remember is if you want to stop the stuffing coming through the fabric it’s a good idea to use interfacing. You can get iron on if you don’t want to do any stitching, and it stops the stuffing from coming out through the fabric
And I'll be heading over to Amazon after this and Walmart to get more Disney fabric. I'll be at Disney week after next!! Just saved me a bunch of money
Just finished a Minnie inspired pair of ears! My first attempt and I made a few mistakes but overall I’m happy with them. I’m a Make A Wish volunteer and hope to add these to our Wish reveals for Disney wish kiddos. 😊 ❤️ Thank you so much for this video!
Enjoyed your tutorial. I liked the fast, but still very clear, pace of it. Another tutorial said to put the middle of each ear two inches down from the middle of the headband. Looked about right.
The hubby and I are going in Nov this year for the Wine and Dine race weekend. I now have plans to make some for my costumes and some to wear into the parks!! Thanks so much for posting this....and making it so easy!!!
This video is amazing.. I've never done anything like this and I've already purchased 10 different fabrics. It's so easy to follow and to watch it inspired me to get started!! LOVE IT!
This is freakin awesome! I tried to print the pattern from my Iphone to my printer and it was only printing the pattern in half size. I just switched to my laptop, and it printed perfect! Just in case someone else is having the same issue. :) I can't wait to make these. I have been looking online for a how-to and I was convinced I was going to have to buy a sewing machine. The possibilities here are endless! Thankyou Thankyou!
Thanks so much for posting this video. I have been wanting to make nautical Minnie ears for our upcoming cruise - and was confident enough to try it after watching your video. My daughter Riley is now obsessed with DIY Disney Crafts. I think the fabric ears could be a tad bigger- saving your fingers from hot glue blisters. I used a popsicle stick which helped. Not sure how to post a picture of the finished product but we love them. Thanks for the great directions.
Thank you so much for this video! I made 2 headbands for my daughter this weekend and super happy how they turned out. You saved me from paying $$$ and buying them from overseas 😊
Taylor nice job. That was awesome of you to share how to make ears. You could have made a nice side business . That was very sweet of you to share how to do that. That says alot about you very humble and sweet!!!👍👍👍👍👍✋to your video!!!! That is showing the Disney magic!!!
Thanks so much Taylor I'm dying to learn how to make ears! As soon as I get home from Disneyland I'm going to be going out to buy supplies. Can't wait to try this!.
Me and my sister did this and we now have a pair of Stich Ears and Star Wars Ears!!!!! This was very fun and the ears turned out great!! The process was a little tough at times but in the end they were great!
I bought a 2 pack of mickey ears on amazon for 6 bucks was thinking of ways to decorate them up and now thanks to this video I have so many ideas going through my head
Thank you. I have made mickey ears before with my sewing machine but I loved this tutorial. You explain everything so well. My sewing machine broke. (well a part did, i just need to fix it) I think I will try this! Thanks!
Just made some today like this, and oh mylanta I will never make them another way again!! If only I could post a picture! Thank you so much for this post!!
Love this video! You did an excellent job breaking it down step by step and making it so easy. We just made our first pair of ears and are so happy with how they turned out! Thank you!
What an amazing video! I never thought I would be able to make a mouse ear headband, but with your video I was able to do it. They came out incredible! Thank you so much for your clear directions and helpful tips!
That was awesome you made it look so easy. You definitely did a great job on making the ears and a great job on showing us how to do it thank you so much
I love those ears that you're making and it makes me to do the minnie mouse ears myself. And thank for showing me and the rest of the world how to make the minnie mouse ears and I felt really proud of myself for making the ears for the first time. Thank you❤
@@ginagreen1202..Aleene's Fabric Fusion. You can get it at any craft store and I think mine came from Walmart. I let it dry overnight and place it underneath something heavy. But I have used it and washed something and it stays together!
Great video! So many DIY's are long and drawn out with lots of "um's". Yours is snappy and to the point...plus, an easy project with impressive results! THANK YOU!
Taylor this video is on point! Thanks so much for the help. I made villian Halloween ears. I used cotton balls instead of polyfill. Everything else was the same. Thanks again. They looked so great.
Thank you for posting this great video. You did a great job in demonstrating this wonderful project which totally inspired me. I am totally amazed at how easy it is to create great ears!!! Thank you again for all the clear instructions! You are wonderful!
WHAT A QUEENNNN. This video helped me out so much ! Ive made ears before but always had a hard time trying to make them look cleaner ! You my friend are a genius ! thank you for this
I made custom Lightning McQueen and Sally Carrera ears for my trip this past weekend. They were quite the hit!! Thanks for your excellent tutorial! :D Best DIY video out there!
I am very surprised that this is your first DIY video. This is the first video of yours that I have watched and I immediately thought/assumed that you were a regular Disney DIY RUclipsr. This video is sooo helpful, I love how your ears came out, and you have such a great personality in this video! You seem so nice and it made the video even better to watch!
i've always wanted to try this but have always been super intimidated because it seemed difficult especially because i'm not crafty at all lol. but after watching your video i'm definitely going to be trying it so thank you so much!!
Well here I am 2 years later watching this video lol. Leftover material from mask making and hoping Disney will open soon. This is amazing, and you saved me buying ears on Etsy. Thank you!

You said “actually” so many times I started counting them and watching your tutorial.
@@cheraydavis3301did you mean to direct this comment towards the video of this comment? I don’t see any “actually”s in this comment.
@@zango3134 by 1.36 mins in she’d said actually 6 times.
These are super cute, but I would iron the fabric first. Also, if you don't mind spending the extra $, you could buy plastic needlepoint squares to use instead of cardboard. That way if they get wet, you don't have to worry about ruining your ears.
Michele Of The Oaks but wouldn’t that make the ears heavy? Is that Plastic that you are talking about lightweight?
I know the plastic she’s talking about & no, it’s not heavy at all. In fact, it’s pretty close to the same as cardboard weight wise, but far durable & an awesome idea!!!

I’m gonna look into buying plastic needlepoint. Thank you
Ooh! What a great suggestion
Very easy

Thank u for this video... I had my husband take me to Joanns to get all the supplies.. And we made our first pair tonight following your video... 😻👍
Same
How durable are they? I want to make some but I want them to last
OK. you convinced me. I was going to order from ETSY, but now I'm making my own. Thanks for the inspiration

Probably the most financially dangerous video I’ve ever clicked on lol ❤️
Agreed! Lol
I only spent 8$ on them
Andrea Mills so tru!
Truth!
Really? Why? Because of copyright or materials cost? I was jus curious.
I made a pair as soon as I finished watching the video and they turned out amazing!! I've struggled making ears by sewing them. This was the perfect tutorial :)
I'm impressed you did all that without scorching your fingers. Theyre great ears. And you're so enthusiastic and fun to listen to.
Thank so you so much for this video and pattern. Just finished making 8 pairs for our vacation tomorrow!
Just made pirates of the caribbean themed ears for my daughter. Thank you so much for your help and the tutorial!
How much fabric did you use. Can’t seem to find how much fabric to get for the ears
@@dianalopez6670 just print out the pattern and estimate
