OT/General How to make wig and joints?

Sep 13, 2011

    1. I'm in process of making my first bjd :)) I've tried to find styrene/wooden balls or something similar in my my area, but I couldn't :( Is there any easiest way to make regular ball joints without molds?
      I also found very interesting thing in "Chinese" shop (shop with everything "made in china" xD). It's fake hairpiece and it really looks like real. I would like to make wig for my doll, but I don't know the easiest way. Do you know any tutorials, or have your methods of making wigs?
      I would be very thankful for help :D
       
    2. This is a list of links to various BJD-making tutorials, which you may find helpful?

      http://www.denofangels.com/joints/showthread.php?t=3942

      In that list of links, the Zen & The Art Of Articulating Dolls Using Ball Joints (2007), by twigling mentions several ways of making balls for joints.

      There is also a tutorial listed for making a Wig for a Fashion Doll.

      That should be a good place to start?

      :)
