My daughter loves to pretend she is a lion. She has an adorable roar and my husband had suggested several times that I should make her a tail and ears to go with it.

I looked all around and couldn’t find a set of lion ears that were round like they should be. I also didn’t want to make a full hat because I wanted these ears to be wearable in the summer or anytime she wants to pretend she’s a lion. So these are designed to be on a headband, although you could attach them to a beanie if you want.

I made these for a kid’s sized headband, but these ears could just as easily be attached to an adult-sized headband.
