Once the glue has set up, take your fine tooth comb and comb out the plugs forming the ears. You will loose a lot of fluff, but there will be plenty left to make a nice ear.



After combing out the ears, there will be a lot of fluff like cotton balls. Take about 3/4 of the fluff and roll it into as tight balls as you can. This will become the stuffing for the ear. Put a small layer of glue on the wig cap, inside the little ring made by the wig hair. Stick the ball of fluff on the glue and hold it in place until it stays put.



Brush through the ear yarn to smooth it out, and ensure it is standing straight up. Take a sturdy piece of thread, and knot it around the ear hair at least five times. It needs to be secure. I tie once in the back, loop the tails around and tie in the front, and then repeat several times. It's a lot of knots, but it's very secure. You can trim the thread and hair above the knots now, or wait until after the glue.



Take the clear glue, and pour it into a bowl. Add a bit of water until the glue has a watery consistency. Take the paintbrush and gently paint the tied ears to make a hard coating on the ears. You could paint one or two coats, depending on how much time you want to devote to this step. If you haven't yet, trim the threads and the extra hair above the knots.



After gluing the ears, I usually blast the ears with a coat of hairspray, just for extra security.
