Tutorial Feather wig making

The foil over the head is a great idea!
I used cling wrap & it was not enough protection against the glue etc when I made something similar.
Also the stocking is a great idea. On mine I had used slightly firmer material for the cap which made a very exact fit which didn't adjust from one head to another. I probably made too fitted a cap. Among the feathers I used were tiny down feathers that worked well with just a bit of glue for the top layer covering the crown of the head.

 

I'm finally back online & it turns out my feather wig adventure was a while ago!?!? How time flies when playing with dolls! ;}
Here's one of the two wigs I made


And links to other photos of both wigs:

With the round CPDelf Juri heads, the fit was very finicky when putting it on & taking it off. I think my friend had trouble working the one I sent them.

I don't remember what I used for the cap, but I do remember thinking it was too heavy, like felt or thin leather I think...your stocking idea looks like a better plan. The tiny feathers work best for the top layer to hide the rest of the ends.
Hope the links work & are useful.

 

How cute!!! I also recently made a fetaher wig. They are just so unique and stunning, glad to see more people do it

 

I dont know the exacttype of feathers though,
Its more brown/copper but the feathers shine in all bright colors in the light hehe hes also a bit of a bird character.

I loooveeee the profile of your wig. Its SO pretty!!!!!! Did you use real or synthetic feathers?

 

Those are ring-neck pheasant body feathers.

 

Oh yeah, probably. Thanks!

 

Thank you❤️

 

These wigs are so pretty, and the wedding looks gorgeous!! I was inspired by Legendofdoll's recent Lumina doll to try and find other feather wigs. I especially like the ring-neck pheasant wig! I'd like to do some kind of woodland fairy inspire style.
