I'm about to start the needle felting process and I was wondering if your wig had a full net underneath to needle felt to, or was it rows of weft attached inbetween some rows of elastic? <br /><br />I think I might need a net of some sort underneath for the felt to stick to, but I'm not sure.

Did you place the felt underneath the short hair, on top of it, or did you cut the hair off altogether before felting?

I'm curious the wool bit.. did you buy wool like just the kind for knitting? do you put it on where you need it and jsut needle felt it by pressing it until it sticks?

It does get a little stuck to the foam, but not more than you can easily pull it off again. Or is your hear very pourpous? Then chunck of foam might loosen from the head and get stuck in your work. One idea that I haven't tried is to cover the head with plastic film, maybe that can help, but I don't know. Good luck to you anyways :) Chrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17823522266930775776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5136676779673870112.post-70187630451606221112015-07-02T06:20:55.819+02:002015-07-02T06:20:55.819+02:00Hi Chrix!
