4. Paint the paper-covered antlers with white or tan paint to make them look more realistic.
5. Form the ears by cutting two elongated ovals that come to a point out of the tan felt.
6. Cut two smaller oval shapes that mimics the tan ones out of the pink felt.
7. Hot glue the pink oval inside the tan oval
