Mouse ears for your costume

Handmade designs built for Halloween — plus what to wear with them, and when to order so they actually turn up in time.

Most mouse ears sold for Halloween are a strip of plastic with felt glued to it. They cost twelve dollars, they photograph like they cost twelve dollars, and they go in the bin on 1 November.

These are made one pair at a time in Kissimmee, from velvet, sequin fabric and faux fur, on a comfort-wrapped band that doesn’t bite behind the ears by 9pm. They survive the night, and they survive the next four Halloweens too.

Four costumes, built around the ears

The ears do the work. Everything else you probably own already.

The all-black one

Black top, black jeans, red lip. Add Creepy Crawly Spider Ears or Spooky Eyes Witch Hat Ears. Takes four minutes and reads from across a room.

The autumn one

Cream knit, brown boots, Pumpkin Patch Ears in orange velvet with the faux leaf trim. Works from a pumpkin patch at 2pm to a party at 10.

The glow one

Grinning Cat Ears or Wild Motorcar Ears — both carry glow-in-the-dark paint. Charge them under a lamp before you leave and they hold long after dark.

The group one

Coconut Bandit Ears are hand-painted, so every pair in the set is slightly different. Order them together and the colours are matched in one batch.

✦ Made for October

Every Halloween design

Witch hats, spiders, candy corn, skeletons and glow. All made to order.

Wild Motorcar Ears — handmade ear headband by Cluless Designs

Wild Motorcar Ears

Red, teal and yellow sequins with faux suede, glow-in-the-dark paint on the face, and hidden imagery inside the red ear that lights up.

What about the tail?

Straight answer: we don’t make a wearable tail, and you should buy a plain one from a costume shop if your costume needs it — it’ll cost you a few dollars and nobody is looking at the tail.

Several designs do have a tail built into the headband itself, sculpted round as a design element rather than something that trails behind you — the kangaroo, the monkey, the dragon and the pup all carry one. Those live in Animated Friends rather than here.

Ordering for Halloween? Every pair is made to order, so the date matters more than usual. Order by the first week of October to be comfortable — sooner for a custom design or a matching group set. The full timing breakdown is in when to order.

Matching sets for a group

Group costumes are the thing this shop is actually best at. A set is made together in one batch so the colours match — which they won’t if you order four pairs separately over three weeks. Start a custom order and say how many.

Costume questions

Do the ears come with a tail?

No. Several designs have a sculpted tail built into the headband itself, but we don't make a separate wearable tail. A plain one from a costume shop pairs fine.

When do I need to order for Halloween?

Every pair is made to order. Order by the first week of October to be comfortable, and sooner for a custom design or a matching group set.

Will they fit a child?

The band is one size. On custom orders the ears can be scaled down for children roughly 3 to 7 at no extra cost.

✦ Made just for you

Have something in mind we haven't made yet?

That's our favourite kind of order. Tell us the idea — a character, a colour palette, a wedding, a birthday, a trip you've been planning for two years — and we'll design it from scratch.
