Create Elf Ears

Create pointy elf ears for costumes or kids' crafts.


Elves are magical creatures that appear in many fictional stories such as The Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Harry Potter series, and Santa Claus' workshop. Each of these elf types looks and acts differently. One thing they have in common, however, is pointy ears. When dressing up as an elf, no matter which kind, it's important not to bypass this defining characteristic. Creating your own elf ears is a fun craft for both kids and adults and requires only a few simple supplies.


Instructions


1. Draw a right and left elf ear on a piece of synthetic moleskin. Make sure the ears are at least as big as your own so they cover them entirely. Moleskin is a skin-colored, foam material available in most drugstores and craft stores. If you have trouble drawing the elf ears on your own, look on the Internet for images and patterns to guide you.


2. Use scissors to cut the ears out from the moleskin.


3. Put eyelash glue around the edges of your own ears. Stick the moleskin to your ears.
