Wig making: Hard wig cap Part 2

I would suggest reading Part 1 first if you've haven't. Otherwise, this is the update on the hard wig cap. :)

Part 1 here.

After the 2 layers of glue dried, this is what the wig cap looks like.


I pulled off the rubber bands for both the stocking and cling wrap before I managed to wiggle the wig cap out. I had to be careful not to change the wig cap's shape too much when pulling it out, but I did eventually managed to get it off.


Then I just roughly trimmed off the excess stocking cloth that didn't have glue, and it looks like some strange helmet. Haha.






Using a white watercolour pencil, I then drew in the outline of the wig cap. I just used a watercolour pencil since I already have it from doing faceups, but I imagine any white pencils would work.






Then I followed what most wig cap tutorials say, about doing another rough trim, leaving some space between the outline I already drew, and where I cut, in case I wanted to change up stuff. And it's a good thing I did, because I realise his wig cap sits unevenly, so I had to slightly modify the outline to make it more even, which I wouldn't have been able to do if I didn't have some excess when cutting. Phew.


And this is after trimming it properly. It's back on a cling wrap because the way I did the back, there were a lot of scrunched up fabric, which after cutting, didn't adhere to each other as well, so I ended up having to paint another layer of glue.


Yep, here you can see the back, which is coming a bit loose.


And the new layer of glue.


I actually did this a few days back, but I'm still contemplating what hairstyle to do for him, and haven't gotten to glueing the hair fibres onto the wig cap. But I'll definitely glue them on, at some point, haha...
