Materials

- Blue Felt *note you will need 2 sheets of felt if they are small
- Yellow Felt
- Foam Sheet
- Ear Template
- Scissors
- White Pencil

Instructions
- Using the Ear Template and white pencil, trace the larger ear outlines on the blue felt and the smaller ear outlines on the foam. Trace the diamond shape on the yellow felt. You should have 4 blue felt ear pieces in total.
- Cut out the felt and foam ear pieces.
- Assemble Your Ears. Using the glue gun, apply a generous amount of glue to one side of the foam ear and stick it in the center of the felt ear. Press down to avoid lumps in the glue. Repeat for the second ear. Once cooled, apply more glue to the top of the foam ear and around the edges of the foam piece on the felt.
** Make sure to leave the rectangle part of the felt open. You will glue that later. **
Place a blue felt ear on top to cover. Carefully press down all around the edges to close the ears. Add more glue if any gaps are present. Repeat this for the second ear. - It’s time to add the ears to the headband. Position your ears 1 ½ inches to 2inches apart. Carefully add glue to the top of the headband and place the ear on top. Wrap the rectangle pieces around the headband applying glue to the felt and underside of the headband. Apply additional glue where the ears meet the headband if you notice any gaps.
- Captain Snowball not only wears blue ears but he has a cool looking yellow streak on his cowl that makes his superhero look pop! Take the yellow felt diamond and position it in the middle of the ears, point forward. Once you have it where you want it, add glue to the top of the headband and underside to secure the diamond. Press down to avoid any lumps.
- It’s time to solve mysteries and fight crime along side Captain Snowball in the Secret Life of Pets 2!
