Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
If you knit, this is the perfect way to use up all those yarn scraps. First, Emma and I got strands of yarn together. We cut each of them double the length Emma wanted her hair to be.
Step 2
Next, we twisted the two pipe cleaners together.
Step 3
I wrapped the pipe cleaners around her head and twisted the other ends together so I would have the right size to fit her.
Step 4
Next, we tied yarn all around the pipe cleaner crown, leaving just enough room for her face to show through.
Step 5
This step took a little while and I lost my helper half way through.
Step 6
She definitely returned when she saw this! It came out beautiful. You could do this with just one color, but I have a child who adores rainbows and a lot of color, so we made a colorful wig.
Final result!
She put on her new hair and let her imagination do the rest.
