Aradani Studios sculpts, molds, and casts every single pair of ears that we sell!
One of the more unique styles of ears that we make, our Faun ears are perfect for... well faun and satyrs of course, and also darker, more monstrous things too! It also works wonderfully for Gelflings!
Please note that none of the painted options that we offer comes with the white freckles painted on the ears (though if you would like to achieve that look, we recommend using a small brush and some acrylic, craft paint).
All our Ears are sold in pairs.

Choosing a Color
The easiest option is to look at the Color Chart image and see which color is the closest match to your skintone. If you aren't sure, you can send us a photo and we can let you know which color we think is the best match.
If you want a non-human colors (light purple, green, blue, etc.), you must order Custom Color. We recommend that you use this website (https://www.google.com/search?q=color+picker) to send us the HEX code for the color you would like. We will do our best to match that color.
PLEASE NOTE: If you order a Custom Color Ear, and we don't hear from you in 5 days, we will mail out the Unpainted Ears by default.
** Please note, if you aren't happy with the skintone, we can repaint your ears for you. However it is the buyer's responsibility to pay for both return shipping to Aradani and return shipping back to you.

Putting Them On, Taking Them Off, and Care
⦿ For a more detailed explanation, check out this tutorial
https://www.aradanicostumes.com/pages/how-to-apply-costume-elf-ears-by-aradani ⦿
But here's a quick summary of that website.
⦾ To put on your elf ears all you need is a small amount of spirit gum! We recommend applying a small amount to the front flap that goes near the temple, and some to the back curve that wraps around the middle of your ear. Avoid getting spirit gum in your hair, slide the elf ear over your ear, and then pinch and hold those 2 spots for 30 - 60 seconds.
⦾ Removing the ears is even easier. Grab the elf ear at the tip, gently pull away from the head, down towards your shoulder. The elf ear should flip over your ear, and peel right off. Any spirit gum left on your skin it should come off with soap and water, a gentle scrape of your fingernail.
⦾ Caring for your elf ears is super easy too. When you are not wearing your elf ears, keep them in a small plastic bag, such as a ziploc bag. Doing this will protect the latex and help keep dirt and dust off the ears. I usually put mine in a plastic bag, then storage that in a rigid box, like a small Tupperwear.
