214 to get downsized measurements for your ornament and sketch the ear shape out create a paper template. There are two general sizes for Deadmau5 ears – the rounder ears measure 13”x13”, the oval ears measure 13”x14”. After entire lip has been glued in place, give a final touch up with your sanding disc to smooth out any slightly uneven edges. Make sure to not use so much glue that it oozes out between the foam and the ornament, because it will be difficult to clean up and give a smooth lip edge. Cut two strips of foam approximately 1/8” wide and attach to inner edge of lip with a very thin bead of hot glue. The lip will be made by applying a thin strip of 2mm thick craft foam to inner edge of mouth opening. Once the piece is cut out, smooth the edges of the lip and the edges of the cutout piece with a sanding disc. The cut-out piece will be reused when we finish the mouth, so take care to cut the piece very cleanly.
Using a very thin carbide cutting disc, very carefully cut the mouth out following the edge of the electrical tape. This will become your cutting guide for the mouth opening. Use electrical tape to create a line connecting the top three dots, and repeat this process for the bottom lip.
Measure down 1” from this dot on center and now you have the low opening of your mouth. Now make a mark for the upper lip high point just slightly higher up, about 1/8” higher than the other two marks you just made. Since this is a full ball, and does not have the bottom cut out for a neck hole, you want to bisect it slightly higher than the actual halfway point on the sphere to look right when it’s all done. Start by marking your globe for the mouth opening by making a mark 2.3” down the each side of front half of your ornament.
