I Still Play With Dolls
Feb. 4th, 2015 01:02 amHave solved a problem with one of my dolls!
Laurel's hair has been a source of some annoyance for years, since it slowly became a dryish haystack, lost its curl, and thinned out. I got her a new wig, but I'm a bit undecided on whether I want it to stay her new wig. So I never glued it down, and it's been loose and prone to falling off.
But lately another option occurred to me. Instead of gluing the wig itself down, I glued a few strips of velcro around her head. I stuck on the other side of the velcro, stuck on a few drops of glue to those, put the wig on top of them, and let the whole thing sit.
Presto! Detachable wig!
This is especially useful now that I'm considering giving her different wigs depending on the season (she is a woodfairy, after all) or my mood. Just, you know. As soon as I get my hands on some more wigs.
