Gabby's Dollhouse ears from a magazine earlier this year

This is a long shot but I'm hoping the power of MN might be the answer...

DS (5) has a furry pink/purple/white headband with cat ears which was a Gabby's Dollhouse toy free with a magazine, earlier this year (maybe even last year). He adores it, wears it all the time, and has managed to snap it in half this evening. He is absolutely devastated.

I've googled and found nothing but the musical ears that are currently in the shops. If I'd known how much he'd love it, I would have bought a spare.

By any chance, did anyone's child get this headband, and no longer needs it? I'll happily pay!

If you don't get one, you could buy a plain band and thread the ears onto it and hand stitch up.

Use some sugru to fly it back together? Or good old duct tape on the band then slip the fluffy bit back on and stitch up.

I think @Inthetub has knocked this one out of the park! For what it’s worth, before I’d seen the pic you posted, I found this Cakey headband tutorial:

You are an absolute star!! Thank you so so much. I've just bought it. I feel like waking him up to tell him as he fell asleep crying.

But also thank you everyone else for your suggestions too!

Thank you!!

Aww that’s lovely. Hope you get those and he’s happy. My dd loves cats and Gabbys dollhouse and I was trying to think whether she had the headband she wasn’t using.
