Wellllll....
Here are the ingredients to make your very own:
1.5 metre of thick strong 1/2 m metre square of black leather
1 metre squared of black shearling or fake fur
A pair of nylon tights
Some medium thickness thread- it needs to go through leather and shearling
A pair of dress scissors
1 tub of copydex glue
1 glue gun
1 good strong needle
1 roll of greaseproof paper
1 solid material headband

And there's a rather lovely tutorial here which will guide you through every step of the way:
