How to make cat ears out of paper?
Hello!
If you are reading this, then you are wondering how you can make cat ears out of ordinary paper. Sounds a little strange... Ears and paper, two incompatible things.
BUT, in this post I will show you how to make them, of course they will not look like real ears, but for that they will create a cat mood for you.
(And I apologize in advance for the quality of the pictures, my camera is not the best)
_—————————————-_
Step 1
To begin, we will take the necessary materials for our ears, namely: Paper 15x20 cm, paper 5x5 cm, scissors, glue and pencil (Pink)
The 15×20 paper can be any color, depending on what color of ears you want. And the 5×5 paper should preferably be pink, if this is not the case, then you can color it pink yourself.
_—————————_
Step 2
Take a piece of paper 15x20 cm and fold it in half (across).
_—————————_
Step 3
Now you need to fold the top corners to the bottom edge of the paper.
_—————————_
Step 4
Fold the corners back in until it looks similar to the first step. And then turn the paper over to the other side.
_—————————_
Step 5
Now you need to fold the paper in half again (across), but just bend it as shown in the picture. The bottom picture shows what it should look like.
_—————————_
Step 6
All? No, not yet, we need to fold it back so it looks like the picture.
_—————————_
Step 7
Now we take 5x5 cm paper and color it pink, if you already have it pink, then proceed to step 8.
_—————————_
Step 8
Fold one corner to another corner that is parallel to this corner. Roll it back up, take your scissors and cut the paper along the fold line to make two pink triangles.
_—————————_
Step 9
Take our 15x20 cm piece of paper and glue. Glue the pink triangles where shown in the picture.
_—————————_
Step 10
Take the glue and apply it in the area where the end of the glue tube points. Fold it in half (crosswise) to make it look like the bottom picture.
_—————————_
Step 11
Now we round out our paper structure so that it looks like the picture. We take the hairpin, and of course you can stop there and do it as shown in the bottom picture, but you can do it so that the hairpin is not visible. But if that’s fine for you, go to step 13.
_—————————_
Clause 12
We slightly open the part of the paper where we have not yet glued it, using the end of the hairpin we make a hole somewhere in the middle. And insert the lower part of the hairpin into the hole, as in the picture.
_—————————_
Step 13
We take glue and glue this part of the paper, but if you want to return the hairpin later without breaking the ears, you don’t have to glue the part where the hairpin is located.
_—————————_
Step 14
That’s it, now we have wonderful paper ears, if something didn’t work out for you, or you didn’t understand something, you can write in the comments under this post.
_—————————————-_
That's all for me, I hope these ears gave you a good mood, see you soon!
Do-it-yourself children's mask of dog ears made of fabric - pattern templates with step-by-step photos
Necessary materials for a do-it-yourself children's mask with dog ears made of fabric (pattern templates)
- paper
- pencil
- wire
- felt in two colors
- scissors
- glue
- wire cutters
Step-by-step instructions for a children's do-it-yourself dog mask made of fabric with patterns and templates
- On paper, draw two oblong ears with a simple pencil - one larger and one smaller. Cut out the templates and transfer them to felt. We need to cut out 2 large and 2 small ears.
Each ear will consist of one small and one large blank. We make a blank from wire to the size of a small ear.
Using a glue gun, carefully secure the wire to the felt piece.
Using glue, we connect two felt blanks together so that the wire is inside the ear and extends slightly beyond the edge.
Then we make a wire rim. Its length should correspond to half the volume of the child's head.
We bend the edges of the wire on the ears.
We attach the rim to the formed bends and fix it well with glue.
We bend the ears slightly inward, imitating the natural shape of dog ears. Ready!

Necessary materials for a DIY dog carnival costume made from fabric for a boy
- Hoodie
- felt
- thread with needle
- paper and pencil
Step-by-step instructions for a do-it-yourself carnival dog costume made of fabric for a boy according to the diagram
- This costume will be based on a sweater with dog ears. To complete the look, just put on dark pants and attach a homemade ponytail to them. Draw ears on a piece of paper and cut them out. We attach the template to the felt and make blanks.
Templates and developments
Numerous templates or ready-made and practice-tested developments will significantly reduce work time, since you do not need to rack your brains over constructing drawings, diagrams, or drawing stencils. Just print out the ready-made templates you like and start creating.
Having mastered the technique of assembling these props of various configurations, you can not only delight your family and friends with spectacular and original horns, but also complicate them, add something of your own to each new creative process, bringing this craft to maximum perfection and similarity to the original.
Making a dog mask from paper and felt
To make a paper accessory you will need:
- Thick cardboard or colored paper.
- Rubber.
- Glue.
- Knife.
Even children can do this work without the help of adults. There are a huge number of animal mask templates for children on the Internet. Choose the sample you like, download it and print out a dog mask for your head. Then you can get started:
- Cut out a sample from paper.
- Place separately from each other.
- Connect the parts together with glue.
- Use a knife to make holes in the paper (future eyes).
- Make other parts from colored paper.
- Secure the eyes, nose and ears with a stapler.
After this, all that remains is to secure the elastic band.
The main disadvantage of such work is its fragility. Most often this will be a one-time use. An accessory made from felt, a harmless and durable material, will last much longer. The workflow is roughly similar:
- Attach the template on paper to a dark-colored fabric (light colors cannot be used).
- Prepare blanks for minor details (nose, mustache and others).
- Work the main workpiece around the eye sockets with stitches, trying to create puppy dog eyes.
- Glue on the secondary blanks (ears, nose and mustache).
- Place the resulting workpiece under a heavy load so that the parts are securely glued.
DIY cat ears. Detailed master class with photos
DIY cat ears for a carnival costume for Halloween or New Year made from felt or paper are the easiest way to make them.
Such a fashionable accessory as cat ears can easily be bought in a store. But if suddenly you are invited to a holiday, or you want to throw a themed party, or maybe a fun bachelorette party, then this is the method that will help you quickly and most importantly, without spending large financial investments, make any number of different ears, even from scrap materials.
To make cat ears, we will need felt or paper, which is why the ears will fold in origami style.
Materials and tools
Felt – 1 sheet 6 x 15 cm for child size, 8 x 20 cm for adult size
Pink fabric or thin felt 3.5 x 3.5 cm for child size, 5 x 5 cm for adult size
Flat hoop (rim) – 1 piece
Glue
Master class: DIY cat ears
1
Prepare a piece of felt measuring 6 x 15 cm for children's size or 8 x 20 cm for adult size. If the ears are made from colored paper, multiply the height by 2, since the paper must first be folded in half with the white side inward and the edges glued. The dimensions will be 12 x 15 cm and 16 x 20 cm, respectively.
2
Fold the top corners of the rectangle down to form right triangles.
Bend the corners to create a trapezoid in the middle.
Fold the rectangle in half, and make a fold in the trapezoid area, without touching the side triangles.
If for paper it is enough to tightly iron the folds with your fingernail, then for felt it is better to iron them, be sure to use an ironing iron (gauze, handkerchief, thin fabric) soaked in water. In the average temperature setting of the iron, approximately at “2”, iron for no more than 2-3 seconds.
3
Thin pink felt 3.5 x 3.5 cm for children's size, 5 x 5 cm for adult size, cut diagonally and glue inside the ear triangles as shown in the photo.
4
Fold the trapezoid in half and glue it together. We straighten our ears.
5
We glue the base of the ears to the flat rim on top and fix it, for example, with clothespins for fixation.
6
After the glue has completely dried (it all depends on the brand), remove it by the clips and the cat ears are ready.
7
If you don’t have a hoop, you can secure the ears with tape or with bobby pins.
8
Fold the fold in the center of the ear triangle and make orange ears - these are already full-fledged fox ears.
This is how you can make different options by playing with color, size and texture - do-it-yourself cat ears!
How to make dog ears on a headband
Instead of a full-fledged mask, you can much faster just make dog ears on the headband. To do this you will need the following tools:
- Thin hoop.
- Wire of medium thickness.
- Scissors.
- Pieces of fabric or fur.
- Needle and thread.
It is better to match the headband to your hair color to make the accessory look better. Select threads only in the color of the selected fabric. Next, you should prepare a template for future ears. On paper you need to draw a supposed “ear” and cut it out. After that:
- Attach the template to the material and cut out the blanks.
- Sew the fabric together.
- Cut two trapezoids from foam rubber (approximately the size of the bottom of the ear blank).
- Place fabric inside so that the ears do not fall forward or backward.
- Sew the fabric to the foam, matching the colors.
- Sew the blank so that the ears point up and not down.
Along with the standard template for the dog mask from The Bremen Town Musicians, children often ask to make a donkey from the same cartoon. A donkey mask for a festive costume is also available on the Internet. You need to print out the donkey head mask template; you can make the accessory yourself. It is made by analogy with a dog mask - the only difference is in the chosen template.
