my first thought is the other way around, having a black headband and then adding on the gold stripes. or maybe get a black cloth, spray on gold dye(or black on gold) put a band inside it so to give it shape.
as for the ears.....that looks harder....my first thought is go to wacky willies, but I'm not if you can still find them in portland area.
thats my intial thought on looking at that part.
