hey! By any chance, what material did you use for the horns? If you could post a pic, maybe I can help you get a few ideas as to how to get this to work (:

/is late to the game/

I'm not sure if you've figured it out already, but my friend attached her horns to clips instead of a headband. I've seen people use adhesives to glue them to the clips. I've also seen people make snaps to attach them to a wig (see tutorial below).

I hope that helps!

That was such a cool tutorial!
If I ever need ears or horns, I'm definitely trying this.

When I was Pikachu, I made it with felt and stuffed it with extra scraps of fabric. It was awesome. But since it was light, it was fairly easy to attatch it to a headband.

I guess it depends on how heavy the horns/ears are?

It probably also depends on the weave of the cap. Some of those caps have a very loose weave, so heavy horns would probably sag. You might be able to gerryrig a band that fits under the wig, though, with snaps.Then you wouldn't have to worry about it being too thin for the horns.
