  • Working from the center of the felt band which you cut to cover the band, place one side front folded piece of the ear next to the center of the felt band.
  • Place the rear flat fold to the back of the band and the front fold of the other side of the ear towards the front of the band. Stitch each section in to place
  • Repeat for the other ear.
  • Glue the felt band to the head band. Use clothes pins to hold it in place if needed.
