This technique is the nearest to the normal Mickey Mouse hat and it typically requires only a little work and effort. Step one is to take a bit of black felt fabric and place it on a flat working surface. Measure your child's head rim by utilizing a tape measure. This could give you an idea on how loose or fit your hat must be. The following step is to take the correct measurement of your child's head rim and use the half that measurement to draw a semi-circle on the felt fabric. As an example, if the rim measures twenty-two inches, then you have to draw a semi-circle which will measure eleven inches. Cut this shape out of the felt fabric and do it to another half. Then, take the 2 semi-circles which you have made from the felt fabric and put them together by using glue. Be certain that both the sides of the felt fabric are facing one another and secure them by stitching their outer edges. After stitching two inches of the fabric, leave a space to make for the ears. Do the same with the opposite side. After you've finished stitching, take the hat and flip it inside-out and check what you have done so far. The felt fabric must be facing upward and you should finish up with an ideal circle.

By this time, you can fit the Mickey Mouse ears hat to your youngster so you can size it and assure the hat would completely fit. Now the hat is finished, you can start making the ears. Take the construction paper and cut 2 circles with diameters equal to five.

In employing a construction paper, irrespective of what color you select, ensure that the material is made from strong elements and elements. Place these 2 circles on the leftover fabric. With the traced line of the paper, cut the felt to form a circle. Employ a glue gun and stick the paper on the felt fabric and let it dry. Take the 2 Mickey Mouse ears and attach them to the opening that you have left in the hat. Flip the hat inside out and use your stitching machine to stitch the leftover portion of the hat that's closed to the ears. Your Mickey Mouse ears hat is now complete.
