I tried to stick the ear pieces onto a plastic headband, because that was the original plan, but no matter what I did -- they never looked quite right.
In the end, I glued the 2 ear pieces separately onto a thick band of twill tape with a wire in it. Then I stitched the twill tape directly onto the fur hood. The wire + the support of someone's head inside the hood appears to keep the ears upright just fine. To cover the twill tape and globs of hot glue, I stitched extra scraps of fur around it, and it all blends in to look quite shaggy and wild.
The ears are maybe a little too close together, but that's the trade-off to have them upright.
