Smile from Ear to Ear

When I visited WDW I just HAD to buy a pair of Minnie ears. They were on my "must have" list. There was so many beautiful pairs to chose from but at the price they were I had to unfortunately limit myself to 1 pair during that trip. When I returned home and rebooked to go back I thought about it and decided I was going to learn to make my own ears as "how hard could it really be"
After quite a few failed attempts, YouTube-ing and getting annoyed I managed to finally find a size and style for the ears and bows that I liked and that seems comfortable and so I made few pairs (there are 4 girlies going on this trip who want ears after all!) All of my ears are so far hand sewn as I don't have a sewing machine but I am thinking of investing in one after my holiday to help me improve on my ear making skills... and to speed it up as hand sewing them can take a while, especially as I am doing it around kids and a full time job. I also plan on making a little "How To" soon as I have been asked a few times and I think it would be a fun and useful thing to add to my page.
I have been so lucky that 2 pairs of my ears have made it to Disney already! (before me may I add haha) I made a couple of lovely ladies a pair for their birthdays as I wanted to do something a little different and I knew they had trips coming up so it felt like the perfect gift. The lovely Nina (ig tag: allthingsdisney.19 (https://www.instagram.com/allthingsdisney.19/) - check her our she's amazing!) visited Disneyland Paris recently and took a pair of Minnie Mouse ears with her and my lovely friend Rach (I'm still trying to talk her into joining the Disney community on IG as she has been to Disney soooo many times and I think would have an amazing page! haha) visited WDW and she really wanted a pair of Snow White ears. Both pairs survived the trips, the heat and the rides etc without falling apart so I class that as a win!
Below are pictures of the ears I have finished. I know they aren't perfect as I am still learning and I still need to figure out how to hide the imperfections around the edges but I think I'm mostly there. I would love to know what you think.
