You’ll typically see them listed under a few names on this page:

• Monkey ear headband
• Animal ears headband (monkey)
• Monkey ears and tail set
• Monkey costume accessory kit (ears + tail, sometimes a bow tie)

Most styles feature a soft plush headband with rounded ears attached, and many kits include a matching tail. Naming can vary by item, so it helps to check photos and the description to confirm whether you’re getting ears only or a full ears-and-tail set.

Here’s a simple, low-fuss approach you can try at home:

1. Cut a long strip of brown felt or fleece.
2. Roll it into a tube and secure the edge with fabric glue or hand stitches.
3. Lightly stuff with polyester fiberfill for shape (don’t overpack).
4. Attach a small loop of elastic or ribbon at one end for threading onto a belt.
5. Let any glue dry completely before wearing.

Choose a length that feels comfortable; many store-bought tails on this page run about 16–22 inches, which can serve as a reference. Craft on a protected surface, and supervise kids during any cutting or gluing.

Try this quick craft to pair with a simple headband:

1. Cut two large ear shapes from brown felt and two smaller tan pieces for the inner ears.
2. Glue the tan pieces onto the brown ear shapes.
3. Place ears at roughly the 10 and 2 o’clock spots on a plain headband.
4. Fold a small flap of each ear around the band and secure with fabric glue or a few hand stitches.
5. Let dry fully, then test the fit; add bobby pins for extra hold if needed.

Fit can vary by item, but many styles are designed for flexibility:

• Headbands: Often one-size with a bit of flex. They can work for older kids and adults; younger children may prefer lighter, plush bands. A couple of discreet bobby pins can help keep them in place.
• Tails: Commonly attach with an elastic loop or simple tie that threads onto a belt or belt loop. Lengths vary, so check dimensions on the item page.

For the best match, review measurements and any age guidance in the product details. You can also check item pages for pickup or delivery options if you’re on a timeline.

Gentle care can help them look great for the next event:

• Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. If deeper cleaning is needed, hand wash cool and air dry. Avoid high heat and harsh chemicals. Keep headbands and glued areas out of prolonged soak time.
• Drying: Blot, reshape the ears while damp, and lay flat to dry.
• Storage: Store flat so ears don’t get crushed, and coil tails loosely. Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sun.

Care needs can vary, so it’s a good idea to check the product page for any item-specific notes.
