These items patterns should all be different.  The general colors should be of the pieces should be in the same color tone.  Stay away from hot pink.

Ears:
What You Need
Paper
Pencil
4 Pieces of Pink Felt (I like E-Z felt, which is stiff and easier to work with)
Hat (some sort of hat that works with your character)
Scissors
Hot glue gun

1. Create a template by drawing one ear on a piece of paper and cutting it out.

2. Place template on the felt as your guide. Cut out 4 ear-shaped pieces of pink felt.

3. Glue around the edges of two pieces of felt. Stick each piece to the felt pieces without glue. (You’ll need two pieces of felt per ear so they are stable and won’t flop over.)

4. Glue the ears to the hat.

I will be ordering noses for you.

Put all of these pieces together and you will have your costume!
