In this video I’ll show you how to use elf ears, as well as some tips for caring for your prosthetics to keep them in good working order for many years.

MATERIALS USED:
Elf Ears (Mine came from Aradani)
Spirit gum and remover
Ear cuffs (Mine were metal rings I cracked in half)

Most elf ear prosthetics are made of latex, which can present a problem if you have a latex allergy. However, there are also non-latex varieties available. So if you’re allergic to latex, be sure the elf ears you’re using are latex free.

Knowing how to use elf ears is a good skill for any cosplayer as there are many non-elf characters that require pointed ears as well (think Vulcans, fairies, hobbits, vampires, etc.). And if you learn how to properly apply elf ears, sometime you can fool people into thinking they’re real. I wore mine into a cafe once and someone wanted to know if my ears were really pointed 😂
