ears using wof templates

Hi, I'm new to this forum and to building helmets as well. My 4 year old wants to be Boba Fett for Halloween and what mother could say no to that? So here I am, reading on this forum for hours learning how to scratch build him a helmet. I am using the WOF templates and so far so good. I am just now starting to assemble the ears and I am a little confused. I think I know how they go together, but I am hesitant to cut and glue after all the work I have put into just cutting them out. Is there a step by step on assembling the ears from WOF templates? If so, please point me in the right direction. I will go work on my 8 year olds storm trooper helmet while waiting for a reply:)
 
Thanks mcfarlj3! I did check out antman's tutorial. It was immensely helpful and the only reason why the helmet looks like it is supposed to at this point:) From what I can tell he deviated from the template and did something different with the ears. He layered them instead of them being hollow...I think. I would just go with what Antman did because there is a tutorial, but before I checked out his tutorial I already cut out all the little shapes and plus I don't have enough poster board left to do it his way. I don't want to buy another sheet as it's super expensive in Alaska. That is why I was hoping somebody followed the WOF templates way and laid it out for newbies like me. Thanks again for the reply!!
 
I did it using WOF templates, but I mande many small pieces I kinda figured out of myself. I would suggest you to take a deep look at many pictures and you will figure out (like me) how to assembly them :) remember to add some water to moist the cardboard in order to flex it.
Good luck!
