Doll Wigs, How Do They Make Them?

Wig Making is something that has intrigued me for a while now.

Ever since Liberty Jane showed the doll of the year Chrissa in a red wig (which I actually wrote to Cinnamon and ordered one for my doll) I was in awe of how wigs are made for dolls. I found this Wig Book called Wig Making Made Simple on The Book Depository. 

There is so many ways wig making would come in handy with doll photography and doll play. From Mini Dolls to 18 inch dolls to Vintage dolls and Thrift Sale Rescues, if Wig making is something you have wondered about there are some great tutorials on You Tube to show you how to get started.

To make any wig you need to start with a wig cap! This is just one video example of how to get started.

 Last week when one of my sons was home sick from school we caught a kids program called "Making Stuff" and it was a very short video on how to make Wigs and it was so amazing to watch how it was done. 
It is a great series and if you want to learn more about it click here.

I ordered the most fun wig from Etsy last December, the seller I used is not selling on etsy anymore but the above link is the one to her ebay account. I found out about her wigs for American Girl dolls from the wonderful people at www.LibertyJane.com they have used her wigs in their doll photos and I just fell in love with it. I wrote and asked how they did it and they highly recommended this seller. It is so fun to change your dolls hair with out Cutting, Coloring and with out damaging her hair. For under $25 and in under 2 minutes you can really have fun changing up the color of your dolls hair. These wigs are designed for the Blythe dolls but work really well on the American Girl dolls as well, I understand that they work better on shorter haired American Girl dolls. I just wanted to share with you this information with you. As with all my posts please feel free to leave me a comment here or email me at karenmowen@gmail.com
