DIY Minnie Mouse Ear Assembly

Supplies needed:

  • Covered Headband
  • 2 finished ears
  • 1 bow
  • Glue gun and glue sticks

  1. Make sure headband is cool to the touch before using.
  2. Place 2-3 lines of hot glue on bottom of ear.
  3. Place ear on headband with about a 2-3 space on top,( I used a pair of ears I owned to space the ears, its about 3″ apart,
  4. Glue second ear on headband about 3″ from first ear.

Glue bow in the middle of the two ears. Hold in place until glue is set. I also added a few dots of glue on each bottom corner of the bow to help it stay in place!

Now your ready to wear your DIY Minnie Mouse Ears. To get your pattern and find resources where you can find the supplies for your ears head on to the next page!

    Hey Laura, what colour felt would you recommend layering the Rose Gold sequin fabric with? Pink?

  4. Laura says

    Katy,
    Yes I used a light pink to line the rose gold ears!

    Hi, roughly how wide are the headbands that you use? Thanks!!

  6. Laura says

    October 11, 2017 at 6:26 PM

    Rebecca the headbands I use are about one inch wide.

    I worry about the sequins messing up my sewing machine, will they?

  8. Laura says

    Brenda,I had no problem with the sequins and my sewing machine.

    Are the headbands you got from Amazon bigger than the ones used by Disney? My problem is that the ones from Disney squeeze my head and I can’t wear them longer than to take a quick picture. Thank you for the great tutorial.

    Diana, I have the same problem and honestly it is just trial and error as to the size of the headband. If I were you I would use a headband you already own that doesn’t hurt your head. If that is an option.

    These are beautiful where did you purchase your sequin fabrics ?

  13. Laura says

    Thank you! I have listed resources on the last page.

    Love this!!!! I mistakenly ordered 1/2″ Headbands from Amazon and they are def not wide enough!!! Can you tell me which headbands you ordered? Are they satin covered and do you get the ones with teeth? Thank you so much!!!

  15. Katie says

    Thank you for sharing – I am so excited to make these! I was just wondering if the ears stay up well or if they flop around. I have made ears with fabric over cardboard and they were very sturdy, so I’m wondering how these will be once they’re all put together.

  16. Laura says

    February 11, 2018 at 8:31 PM

    Katie, They stand very well just like the ones you buy in the Parks!

  17. Laura says

    February 11, 2018 at 8:32 PM

    Dot, I use one inch wide headbands and I pick them up where ever I can find them! I have even found some at the dollar store! Good luck!

    What size felt did you buy. The 4×4 or 8×12

  19. Laura says

    March 17, 2018 at 1:40 PM

    I used the 8″x12″.

    Hi Laura,

    Thanks for a great tutorial. I was wondering if you could sew in the interface as you are sewing the ears together?

  21. Danielle says

    Thank you for making this tutorial! I’m planning a girls’ trip to Disneyland soon and I’m wondering how many pairs of ears do you think you could make from one runner? I don’t want to order the wrong number!

  22. Laura says

    May 9, 2018 at 7:44 AM

    I didn’t only because it acts as a stabilizer in the middle of the ear. Plus the pattern piece does not allow for seam allowances.

  23. Laura says

    May 9, 2018 at 7:45 AM

    If you placed the pattern pieces carefully I would say maybe 3 per runner. I would order an extra runner just to be safe. If you order from Amazon you can always return it if you dont use it.

  24. Danielle says

    May 9, 2018 at 11:04 AM

    Thank you for this tutorial! I’m trying to make several pairs of ears at once for a girls trip. About how many do you think you could get out of each runner?

    I love this tutorial! I have seen/read so many. This is nice and detailed. Quick question, pardon my ignorance but when you talk about stiff interfacing…which kind? I know nothing about it and there are so many types and weights! Also, once put inside the ears you mention ‘opening it’? So that means the filling will go inside the interfacing and not between the interfacing and the fabric correct?

  27. Laura says

    July 12, 2018 at 6:38 PM

    Hello, I apologize for the confusion let me see if I can answer your questions. As far as interfacing goes your right, it comes in various weights and stiffness, I used a very stiff interfacing. I dont want to sound like I am not answering your question but the best thing to do is ask the sales associate at the fabric store to help you find a fairly stiff interfacing. It is hard to explain without being able to see and feel the different weights of interfacing. This Amazon link might help https://amzn.to/2KUkVok . When I mentioned “opening” the interfacing I was referring to unfolding the interfacing as I had to fold it in thirds to get it to fit through the small opening left in the ear. You are correct the filling/stuffing goes in between the interfacing and the inside/back of the sequin fabric. I put batting on both sides of the interfacing. I just kept putting small amounts inside until I liked the way it looked. Again I apologize for all the confusion. If this does not answer your questions please let me know!

    I was wondering what stitch you used to sew the ears?

  29. Laura says

    August 21, 2018 at 10:45 AM

    Hello Brenda,
    I just used a straight stitch for all the sewing.
