PART 6: Embellish your light up cat ears
Stick on the cabochon embellishments provided with your kit anyway you like but I have recommended using it to cover the cat ear holes. You may use super glue, hot glue or PVA for this step. Continue crafting with sequins or any other materials that you like!
