If you need to complete that elf or fairy cosplay with pointed ears, there’s a super easy way to do it with pointed ear cuffs. They slip right on and are much easier to wear than the ear tips you have to glue on with spirit gum. But if you are interested in applying the kind of ears you need to attach and blend in, I have a tutorial for that too!

You can find this type of elf/fairy ear on Amazon for around $6! Click here to check them out. They come in different colors and sizes too.

The video below will show you how the slip on around your ear. Click here if you are looking for step-by-step directions on applying the kind of ear prosthetics that actually attached to your head with latex or 3-D gel.

Slip on Fairy Ears

Each set of Elf or Fairy Ear Cuffs just wraps around the back of your ear. The are lightweight an easy to wear for an extended period of time. The way to make them look the most realistic is to cover part of the ear with hair in front. But if you have short hair don’t worry- the front piece doesn’t come too far down so you can wear them without any coverage as well.

They come in tan, pink and brown colors, but you can also cover them with makeup if you want to color match the ears to your skin color. The colors vary a big with the ears, and some of the tan ones are lighter or darker.
