I’ve got a thing for costume accessories. They are the difference between a costume that is “meh” and one that sparks costume envy.

Accessories are the small touches with a big impact. An entire costume can be built from a little black dress or jeans and a t-shirt simply by adding costume accessories.

I admit, that a minimal costume isn’t my go-to. I’m more or a maximalist, adding costume bits and accessories right up to the last minute.

As such, I’m always on the look-out for accessories I can DIY and add to my ever-growing costume closet.

One Is Never Enough

Recently, I spotted a pair of ears attached to a headband in a costume catalog and I set out to make my own version.

As is often the case when creating, I veered off the path, and the result wasn’t what I first envisioned.

While these dragon costume ears can be attached to a headband, they can also be worn by simply slipping them behind your ear.

And, in normal Making Make Believe mode, one design was not enough. I ended up with three styles of whimsical character ears, Fairy Folk, Mermaid, and this one, inspired by the Dragon.
