📹 Bridal Minnie Mouse Ears – DIY
We made (DIY) a pair of classy and elegant bridal Minnie Mouse ears. These ears are perfect for a bride-to-be going to Disney.
I found this a few months before my Disney trip earlier last year, and when I tell you mine turned out so well using this tutorial, they were beyond amazing. I used some cheap beauty and the beast fabric I found at walmart and used some red fabric with white dots to do the bow, a normal headband, as well as some cheap trim stuff, all from walmart under $10. When I tell you the ears turned out AMAZING, they came out better than I thought they would. I made a few pairs with different fabrics just to get the hang of it, and I’m going to be honest it took a few tries to get some good pairs. Anywho, I went on my disney trip a month ago wearing the beauty and the beast ears, and I got complimented by at least 4 staff members and a dozen strangers in lines or at restaurants, saying how cute they were, and how I could even open a business. So long story short, yes this tutorial is legit, yes it’s time consuming but oh my goodness it was so worth it in the end 🙂
I LOVE THIS!!! I sew a lot and could sew these.. but this is a great alternative as well! Another way you could keep your head band on is do a couple hot glue strips on the inside of the head band and let them dry like that. I did this on the bottom of toddler socks to keep my kid from slipping and you can do it to any clothing item you don’t want to constantly fall down. I think it would work quite well in this case!
After seeing how proud you were of your Star Wars ears in the latest Hollywood Studios article, I was hoping you’d make a tutorial. article was great to watch. Straight-Forward and detailed, as a good tutorial should be. I hate when you’re trying to find tutorials for something and the person wastes half the article just jabbering! Thanks for sharing!
Taylor!! Thank you so so much! I’m literally in the middle of making our ears for our trip next week! I bought cheap ears on Amazon and covered them with fabric, I used premade bows. I LOVE your technique better!! Love the fluff, trim and now I know how to make bows!! I will post pics on Facebook in the next few days…. Thanks! #perfecttiming
Thanks so much for posting this article. I have been wanting to make nautical Minnie ears for our upcoming cruise – and was confident enough to try it after perusal your article. My daughter Riley is now obsessed with DIY Disney Crafts. I think the fabric ears could be a tad bigger- saving your fingers from hot glue blisters. I used a popsicle stick which helped. Not sure how to post a picture of the finished product but we love them. Thanks for the great directions.
I am very surprised that this is your first DIY article. This is the first article of yours that I have watched and I immediately thought/assumed that you were a regular Disney DIY Youtuber. This article is sooo helpful, I love how your ears came out, and you have such a great personality in this article! You seem so nice and it made the article even better to watch!
This is freakin awesome! I tried to print the pattern from my Iphone to my printer and it was only printing the pattern in half size. I just switched to my laptop, and it printed perfect! Just in case someone else is having the same issue. 🙂 I can’t wait to make these. I have been looking online for a how-to and I was convinced I was going to have to buy a sewing machine. The possibilities here are endless! Thankyou Thankyou!
So, I know this is probably really late since the article is online since a long time. But I wanted to say “thank you” for this amazing diy. I can’t sew (is that correct? I’m from Germany so I’m not quite sure 😉 ) but with this article even I am capable of making my own ears. They are so expensive in the parks and now I can create some of my own. Thank you very much <3
Yayyy your a Taylor!!!! I’m a Taylor too and I am going to be making ears for me and my best friends. Thanks for this tutorial it’s the best I have seen and very detailed!!!! I have a question how much fabric do you need for one ear? I’m trying to buy all of my materials online but the measurements are confusing me.
