Construction
Using the tail of the ear insides, sew it in place to the ear back. Be sure to only catch the front layer. Once it’s sews in place, clip ends and flatten the ear. Place it perpendicular to the headband. Sew all around the ear firmly. Attach the antler spikes to the side and slightly forward on the band from the ears. Use the tails to sew them in place. You can stuff them with small bits of leftover yarn or a small tuft of Polyfil.
