DIY Hello Kitty Flower Arrangement: Ears and Attachment Tips

Creating a Hello Kitty arrangement with fresh flowers is adorable, but the ears need to last as long as the carnations. Here’s why foam ears work better than flower petals.

Why Foam Ears Are Better

Carnations are long-lasting; any fresh petal used for ears (like tulip petals) will shrivel long before the carnations fade. Thin craft foam is easy to cut, holds shape, and can be glued behind the bow and onto the flower base. Back the Kitty face with flowers of a similar hue for the best visual impact.

Attachment

Glue one ear to the back of the red bow, the other to the flower petals. Use a hot glue gun or floral adhesive for a secure hold. The foam ears will stay perky for the life of the arrangement.
