Handmade- I don’t use sewing machines they are 100% made by hand. These are made by cutting cardboard for ears. Cutting Foam for the ear filling (lighter than poly-fil). Hot glue sticks for adhering ears to headband and trim to ears. Cutting all fabric and trim by hand. I assemble these as neatly as possible but expect some minor imperfections since these are a handmade item. Use common sense while wearing ex: these aren’t sewn so be careful putting them in a backpack, they are made using cardboard so be careful in situations where water is present (rain, water rides, etc)
