You'll need:

  • pink card
  • thin hairband
  • white shirt
  • dark trousers
  • patch of old material
  • waistcoat or long-sleeved dark shirt

Four easy steps

1. Cut out two large ear shapes from the pink card, add details with a black pen.

2. Glue or tape the ears to either side of the hairband.

3. Sew or use safety pins to attach a patch of old fabric to the trousers.

4. If you don’t have a waistcoat, make one by cutting the arms off a dark shirt.
