Will's New Wig - cmair1202 - 01-24-2012

I bought some fake fur from the craft section in my local walmart and decided to try my hand at making a wig. Let me know what you think about my first attempt.

Thank you for taking a look. Sorry they are a bit grainy.

I think it looks good. Did you mean for it to be straight in the back? I think the color is a very nice brown, and I really like the front and the way it is parted. smile

RE: Will's New Wig - cmair1202 - 01-24-2012

No, i didn't mean for is to be straight. But I was trying to make my own pattern design and it came out that way. I will try again in a few days and adjust the pattern and the way I make the cut in fabric.

Next time i am going to make sure a pull back some of the fur before Icut it.

RE: Will's New Wig - cmair1202 - 01-24-2012

Ok so the straight back started eating at me and I went ahead and tried again sooner rather than later.

Here is sage in the new attempt.

The first one isn't bad, but that second one? Adorable!

RE: Will's New Wig - wampirencja - 01-25-2012

Second one is more in my style but I like he first one too - great for a proper, young gentleman smile

RE: Will's New Wig - SavannahFaerie - 01-25-2012

I love it!! You don't happen to have a pattern do you? I have a few fake fur "pelts" in my fabric box that I was wanting to turn into fur wigs smile

Your boy is so precious btw! The wig suits him really well ^v^

RE: Will's New Wig - cmair1202 - 01-25-2012

What I did was first I measured his bald head.
Then I took a ruler and measured out 2 half circles diameter 4 1/2 to 5 inches and 1 1/2 to 2 inches tall.
Then I hand sewed them right sides together in a blanket stitch, but if you want to use a sewing machine I would sew 1/4 inch seam around the circle part and leave the flat line edge for the opening.

Also I made sure that i placed the flat part of the circle pattern at the edge of the fabric for the longer look. In the below picture I used white thread so that you can see how I was stitching it up.

Then when your done sewing try it on the head and make adjustments for the ears by cutting out notches in the desired area. I placed the wig on so that the seam goes from just behind the ears from ear to ear across the head. then once i had it the way i wanted it i styled it with a comb and brush.

I hope this helps and that i e

lained OK.
