How To Make Moana Disney Ears - A Fun Disney Inspired Tutorial.
One of my favourite Disney movies has to be Moana. While the Moana movie depicts an inspiring story of a bold and brave teenager, many scenes are totally relatable for me.
And here's why -- being part Polynesian myself (of Maori descent) with a half Tongan daughter makes the movie extra special.
Plus, Moana is the first female Disney character that my daughter feels she resembles -- and I totally agree! If you haven't watched the movie yet, don't miss out on this wonderful story of a teenage daughter who courageously goes on a mission to save her people.

🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Use Floral Wire: Shape floral wire into two circular Mickey Mouse ear shapes for a sturdy base. This ensures the ears hold their form and stay intact.
- Secure to Headband: Wrap the bottom of each ear around the headband and use hot glue to secure them firmly. This keeps the ears in place during wear.
- Add Moss: Cover the base of the headband with green moss to create a natural, earthy look. It enhances the Moana-inspired theme with a tropical vibe.
- Attach Flowers: Glue pink and yellow flowers symmetrically on each ear for a balanced and vibrant appearance. This adds color and a fun pop to your design.
- Add Seashells: Attach seashells along the headband to bring in a beachy, Moana-inspired touch. This makes the design more themed and visually appealing.
- Let It Dry: Allow the glue to fully set and dry before wearing the headband, ensuring everything stays in place for a lasting result.
