Easy Hack for Cheap Elf Ears!

Soft silicone ears that slip on and off in seconds, held snug by a nearly invisible stretch cord threaded right through the material — no spirit gum, no fuss. Charity Grace threads clear elastic through the silicone with a large needle, then blends bronzer and eyeshadow into the surface for realistic skin-tone shading. Add earrings, pendants, or painted freckles and you’ve got a pair of custom elf ears that feel totally yours.
