Basic Directions for Creating a Wig for your doll.

This is a very simple way to create a wig for your doll using Tibetan lamb on the skin or Mohair.

• Basically you drape a piece of paper across the head from ear to ear to mark
  the width of the wig. You can use scrap paper, typing paper, computer paper or whatever you have at hand.
• Mark the length of the wig at the neckline.
• Cut the paper to these dimensions. The paper should be a sort of rectangular shape at this point.
• Place the paper back onto the dolls head and create darts by gathering the paper together on both sides of the head (towards the back of the head at a 45 degree angle) so it will fit smoothly around the head.
• Trim the excess paper and shape the paper as needed (rounding the hairline etc.).
• Now you can use this paper as a guide to create a wig pattern for your doll.
• Lay the paper pattern on the skin side of the Tibetan lamb (See helpful tips).
• Turn under the front edge of the skin to create a smooth hairline around the face of your doll.

 Helpful Tips:

• Be sure to cut only thru the "skin" side and not through the hair.
• Use very share scissors and carefully clip only through the skin using small snips
  with the scissor tips only. This will help you avoid cutting through the hair at the same time. Copyright 2006 Lisa Rynda - Rynda Original Designs
