Grab that broken umbrella from the car or garage! Remove the fabric from an umbrella: Snip all the threads, take out the metal pieces and then cut around the centre tube. Cut this fabric in half. Then fold each piece in half again, taping the fold along the arm of a black fleece using black duct tape (it peels off easily). For the ears, cut two triangles out of stiffened felt and hot glue them to a hair band.
