Lace Ears DIY

I'm super excited to share this DIY with everybody! Inspired by the beautiful Mary Kate + Ashley Olsen, today I'll show you how to create lace ears. Perfect for Halloween costumes or for play, these are so simple and will be stand out pieces at any costume party! Follow the few simple steps below to make your own!Materials Needed:
Black Lace, Headband, Thin- malleable wire, Scissors, Hot Glue Gun

Lace Ears:
Cut out 4 pieces of rectangle lace, measuring about 9x5" each. Set aside. Next, form ear-shaped outlines with your malleable wire and twist the ends so they stay in place. Returning to your lace rectangles, use your hot glue gun to attach wire-framed ears to the lace fabric. Once one entire ear is glued down, add another layer of hot glue to the remaining exposed wire and add another lace layer. Let dry. Trim around the outline of your wire and rub edges so they *mildly* fray. Lastly - using the twisted ends of each ear, wrap excess wire around the top of your headbands, spacing them about 2-3" from one another.
Bend and curl your ears until they feel just right. Aren't they so cute!? (Use these same steps for the bear ears, but use circular wire-frames instead of bunny shaped)I cannot wait to wear mine out and about on the few days before Halloween - it's hard for me to not dress up every day in October!
