Make a wig for Wilma Feuerstein yourself

  1. As a basis for your own wig, you need either a swimming cap or tights. If you choose it in the color skin or orange, it will hardly be noticeable later.
  2. If you decide to wear tights, put them on your head as a test and knot the elastic fabric so that it cannot slip off. The hood should fit tightly but not constrict.
  3. Now provide the hood with numerous tiny, closely spaced holes. Use sharp scissors, an embroidery needle or a roulade needle for piercing. Do this carefully and carefully so that the fabric does not tear.
  4. Now cut the wool threads to a length of 30 to 40 centimeters. The thicker and more voluminous the individual strands of the selected wool, the better the wig will look for your Wilma Flintstone costume.
  5. Use the crochet hook to pull the wool threads through the prepared holes in the hood. If you have a very thick wool, it is sufficient to pull one or two wool threads per hole. With thinner threads, you should use more so that the wig does not appear too light for your Wilma Feuerstein.

  10. Now brush back the remaining wool and form a bun on it at the top of the back of the head. Your stone age wig is finished.

Alternative ideas for making wigs

  • You don't necessarily have to use wool and a crochet hook for a wig that goes with the Wilma flint stone paneling. You can also use a ready-made carnival wig as a basis and style it to the right hairstyle.
  • If you can't find an orange wig, choose a white or at least light-colored wig and dye that orange. A brunette or auburn wig can also suit the Stone Age woman.
  • If you have your own hair of the appropriate length, you can also color it with carnival spray or colored hairspray and style it appropriately.
  • In the cartoon style, you can completely do without hair. Instead, put on a hood made of styrofoam or plaster of paris that you shape to match and paint it orange.
