Whether a Christmas elf consummate amongst stocking hat...

Or an Elven Princess...these ears are the perfect accessory!

You'll need:

Aluminum foil

Polymer oven bake clay inwards the desired color

rolling pin

poking device

line-fishing line

metallic headband

I used 1 foursquare of foil per ear.
You don't wishing to purpose enterprise clay for a duet reasons...

It would accept then long to bake...and it would hold upward sooo heavy.
So, accept your foil together with shape it into the shape you lot want.

(note, this would also move for animals, Yoda, horns, etc...)

Make 2, the same...but reverse facing.

For the clay:
Disclaimer: my clay was from my mom. She died to a greater extent than than fourteen years ago...

together with I don't recall when she used this clay, allow alone, bought the clay...
then I'm guessing it's at to the lowest degree xx years old!
Crazy right...it withal worked!
Okay, then warm it upward inwards your hands. It responds to trunk oestrus together with becomes soft.
With xx yr onetime clay, it took a while!
Then divide the clay inwards half. I used one-half a block for each ear I did.
Roll it out until it's virtually 1/8 inch or so...I didn't measure.

Place the forepart of the foil ear on the rolled out clay.

Then wind the clay around to the backside together with shine it all out.

Form them, sculpt them...to your hearts content.
My ears were virtually iii minutes each of sculpting love.
They are a chip lumpy...maybe I should have
spent a piddling longer on the foil stage...
but at this signal I wasn't fifty-fifty certain if this was going to work!

Then purpose a poker or a long pivot together with stab through the lobe.
I did this for repose of securing to the headband afterwards on.
You mightiness also wishing to add together piercings or what not...do it now, earlier baking.

just similar this.

These piddling hog ears (that's what they await similar to me)
baked according to the clay packet directions...about 275* for 15-20 minutes.
They got much darker...and piddling "liver" spots.
I mean value it looks to a greater extent than real...but I mean value it was because the
clay is onetime plenty to vote together with driblet dead for its country!

Okay, instantly to assemble:
I used hot gum to laid upward it on the headband.
Careful non to encompass the hole you lot made.

Press it onto the metallic headband...with non much room to spare.
After you lot hot gum them...try on your headband together with run into if they are where you lot wishing them.
It's slow to accept off the gum together with reset if necessary.

Next, larn the line-fishing line...

Wrap it through the hole, around the dorsum of the ear and
back through the hole a few times.
I did it iii times.
Then necktie it off inwards a tight knot.
