Thread: Adding Hair to Skeletons...Ideas?

Tweet

I bought two of the Walmart 3-foot "kid" skeletons and want to add some hair to them. On my larger skeletons I can usually do this with an adult's wig or even a kid's wig sometime but these guys have pretty small skulls and I think even a kid's wig will be way too big. How do you guys solve this issue with your props?

Ive been removing hair from old wigs using a brush and just glueing them on

Rogaine? Sorry couldn't pass it up. I've seen Hair Extentions at the Dollar store

Easy! Cut a length of rope to the desired hair length and then unbraid all the strands and you have skeleton/ zombie hair. A thicker rope tends to work a little better and no doubt you'll find other uses for it.

I was hoping to find something more organized and full like wigs for doll making. Anyone heard of anything like this?

mmmmm me and hair ...????? lol sorry to irresistible to pass up. I used some hair from a mask just enough for what ya need and I used rubber cement. then painted it.

Try buying crepe hair. You use it for makeup and it comes in braided sections. You just unbraid what you need and glue it on. Good luck!
