At times, you get so busy that Halloween suddenly creeps up, only to realize you have not made or purchased a costume yet. If this happens, you need not panic. There is a simple way of creating your own Halloween wigs using simple household items. It is often made by several different persons, so enjoy yourself as you create your own costume.
Get yourself a new mop, an old baseball cap, a sewing kit and a pair of strong shears. Getting a new mop is much better than getting a used one to make a wig for obvious sanitary reasons. If you do not have one in the house, get one in the nearest store. It is better to purchase one that has long strands since it becomes easier to customize it after you are done designing.
First, remove the mop head off its stick. This is a simple process. You either have to pull the stick out or unscrew it, depending on how your mop is designed. If the stick is fastened using staples, nails or any other sharp objects, remove them. These could easily injure you later if you leave them in place.
Get that old baseball hat you have wanted to dispose out of the closet. Using the thread and needle start sewing your mop to the top of the old hat. Ensure that you sew it tight since it is heavy and could easily rip off. Use long stitches. You may tug it gently to check if it is tight enough.
Use a pair of scissors to cut the bill of the hat off. In most cases, the bill is very hard, so you may need to use a large pair of shears. Work diligently and fast, ensuring all bits are carefully cut off. It looks bad to have bits sticking out of a jagged edge.
You can now trim the mop to the shape you want your wig to assume. There are several hair designs, as you must know, so choose one that suits you best. It is also important to make sure you design it in a way that ensures you are able to see.
Making Halloween wigs can even be done as a family thing. Gather everyone and ask them to create a wig for themselves. Use different designs and make unique and creative creations.
