I've made a bunch of costumes over the years, and have had issues with the headpiece, always.
One year, i did "Danger Mouse", and the head was paper machie, with frisbees for ears. it worked well, but i could only see my feet.
Another year, I did "Max" from Sam And Max. The ears were ribbed with garden hose. those were way too heavy. But for the head in general, I was looking through his mouth, which was made from that plastic canvas stuff you can find at hobby shops. it worked out really well. I also started the head on a base of a plastic hard hat from Home Depot. It cost $5, and was a great base to mount stuff on. It's really easy to make holes in to affix things to it.
