DIY Fall Corduroy Minnie Mouse Ears | Disney vs DIY

Welcome to Fall! To kick off the season, I have a nice simple DIY for how to make the orange corduroy Minnie Mouse ears recently released at the Disney Parks. These ears are as simple as it gets in terms of design, so I wanted to have this DIY video as a means to show my entire process for how I make my Minnie Mouse ears. I always hand-sew my ears onto the headband so they have a professional, finished look, and are as similar to the make of the Disney ears as possible. I did not directly replicate the bow of the original ears, I wanted to show the method I always use for bows (plus I like this bow style a bit better). Happy ear-making!
