Hmmm never heard of taping them together, I looked it up on the web and went to several sites and this was the way they said to do it.
Cut a triangle for the inside of the ear and wrap the longer rectangle around the ear. There was even pictures to guide you on some sites.
This works as his ears are still up, but I think I left to much hair on the ears and the tape will have to be replaced in the morning.
