- How I make my wig caps for my alpaca hair wigs. This method is no-sew, which generally means I wouldn’t recommend putting this wig cap through your sewing machine when your finished ^_^
I tried to be as in-depth as possible, but please let me know if you have any more questions! Thanks!
PS sorry if the sound is really loud?? My video editing software is being strange or maybe it's my computer? Technology x3

Using fabric that matches the dolls skin tone is a great idea. I have seen a bunch of wig making videos. I like your method the best so far.
Thanks! I hope that if you've been using it, it's been working well for you ^_^
I tried this method but I used a cloth material and it turned out pretty stiff, but after seeing your video, I’ll try a stretchier material for my wig cap, thank you ☺️
This was such a detailed and informative video; exactly what I was looking for and relatively easy for a beginner like me. Thank you so much!
It's great to actually have doll wig tutorials instead of register wings for humans tutorials because they are more in depth and easier to make
Haha true, and much smaller ^_^
This is a great tutorial thank you so much you know I didn’t have any stretchy fabric so I used an old ankle high socks and it fits like a glove
Yay! I just use PVA school of or whatever...we get ModPodge in the UK but normally it's just PVA.
Thanks for this it's really nice that you took the time to put this up! I really need to get my act together and make some as I will be needing them shortly. This is brilliant!
Three-ish questions.
1.)Did you remove the fabric from inside the wig cap? And if you did, do you every find that if you leave the wig on too long the glue melts on the doll? Because I want to make dolls wigs and I was thinking of doing a glue wig but I was afraid of it melting in their hair or on their head, ruining the doll and the wig.
2.)What do you think is the best method of glueing on the hair? Is their a specific way or pattern to follow so the glue doesn’t show and it is moveable and nice?
3.)Can you style the wigs hair? I was just wondering once again because it’s made of glue and when it comes to more doll hair you can’t just use certain everyday tools to style it.
Sorry, I know that was long, but I’m curious incase I make doll wigs like I would like to do.😊
I used this tutorial to make my first wig cap and I can say it was successful! Mine had a few flaws but that’s just because I was a bit inexperienced aha. But this is a great tutorial for beginners and easy to follow! Keep up the great work
Instead of modpodge can I use liquid elmers glue?
Depressed Boi ima be not gay with you, i was creative one day and took an old fashioned Barbie doll, after balding it of course, and just used liquid (Elmer's) glue and just straight up put a few layer of that on her.It was pretty flexibl, which isn't horrible.I made the mistake of sewing the hair into it and it failed me, so if you're broke like me😂 Elmer's should work fine if you're not sewing, it just may not be that dependable, good practice maybe
Tacky glue works too!
I was having a hard time breathing watching this video as soon as the dolls head got covered in plastic wrap.
it's alright, making a wig works on dead bodies too as long as they aren't decomposing

Thank you so much for doing this! I'm thinking of making a wig soon, so this will be very helpful! :>
Of course! Good luck on your wig! :D
This was a very helpful and informative video. Thank you so much, for making these videos. :)
Of course! I'm glad I was able to help ^__^
I subscribed and followed this method, thank you sooo much😁❤️
This helped me very much today. I am working on a Foxy custom doll, the female version, and I needed to make a wig for the doll's head, which is where this video came in handy. I don't have modpodge though, so I used Staples clear glue. It hasn't dried yet, but I'm confident that this will work...I hope.
Love it, thank you for making this video!
Beautiful Doll and great technique 🙂
What mod podge do you use?
I've seen most use matte on mat whatever but some say it doesn't really matter, it just really depends on what you want I think
do you have a video on how to glue on the hair?? i’m new to this ^_^
Can I stick the wig cap onto the doll, because I don't want to remove it.
Im sure if you dont want it to be removable, you could just stick it on with hot glue, or regular glue ^ ^
Olive Art is absolutely right! You can certainly attach hair directly to the doll's head, you just have to be careful not to damage it (excessive heat, fibers that stain, etc). Also consider how often you might want to open the headcap/faceplate and plan out the hairstyle accordingly so you don't lose functionality. Sorry for the late response, and I hope that helps! :)
Great! Thank you!
Do you think you could use this sort of wig cap if you were sewing wefts of synthetic hair on, instead of gluing on alpaca hair?
Hmm...I suppose you could try, but I have a suspicion that sewing on the glue would warp the cap until it no longer fit on the doll. Sewing a wig cap would probably work a lot better, and that's a pretty easy process too. Even buying elastic pre-made wig caps wouldn't be too bad - I don't think they're too pricey. That being said, I've never tried sewing on a glue-based wig cap, so I can't say for sure :)
Do you have to use mode podge or would glue work?
that was a big help
this help me a lot to make my own wig.. Thanks
Possible to use a bigger paint brush? I would go crazy if I had to use that tiny thing, what do you think?
Im trying to make a new head of hair for my doll (since the original hair was tangled and a mess) but i wanted it to be changable so this was helpfull
But how do you get the wig to stay on? PLEASE ANSWER! I made a wig for my Barbie and the wig cap seemed to fit fine but once I finished, the wig won’t stay on at all!
Does your doll still have rooted hair? It's pretty hard to get a wig cap of any kind to stay on over rooted hair, but you could try an elastic wig cap for better grip.
If your doll is 'bald' without the wig you made, there are a few things you can do. If it's just a matter of the wig being too heavy a little dab of instant tacky between the wig cap and bald head should help keep it on. If the wig cap is warped and the wig is already complete, however, there unfortunately isn't much you can do, especially if the wig is too small.
If you made the whole wig while the wig cap was on your doll it should retain a decent fit, but sometimes the wig needs to 'set' for a bit while still resting on the head. Next time after the wig is dry, leave it on your doll for a few hours more with a rubber band or hair tie holding it in place. If the wig has any further drying to do, this will hopefully prevent it from warping.
Hopefully some of this info helps! I usually don't ever see if someone responds to a comment I posted so if you have further questions don't hesitate to make a new comment ^_^
Can you use this method to make a wig for yourself...?
Just size up the scale alot
This is a big help! I just made a wig cap for my first bjd and it's sliding horribly. Ugh...
Do you think tacky glue (aileens brand) would work? Its all i have at the moment and i finally have the creative energy to make by boys wig lol
I believe I've seen people using tacky glue for this project. I've seen hot glue and hair bonding glue used as well! Sorry for this late response, I hope you ended up getting it all to work! :D
How do you make one of these that doesn't slip all over the doll's head? My first wig cap was a mess and just did not want to stay. I ended up putting a little big of putty on the inside just so I could get it to stay put for me to attach the hair and attempt to style it. What am I doing wrong? T^T I don't think I should be using putty to make it stay put.
Can we use fevicol instead of modpodge????? 🤔
The couple I have made seemed to grow too big when I was done. I noticed that you went really far down the back of the head, could that make a difference in how it later fits? I use the same materials you used, but once I'm done and take the cap off it is big and floppy. D'X
Thank you for making this video by the way. xD
Ahh, yes, that's happened to me a couple times too. Definitely try going farther down the back of the head - often if you don't cover enough of the doll's head the wig cap will lose it's form and become floppy. That being said, some sculpts are difficult to work with. Just cover as much as you can and remember to pull your fabric as tightly as possible - you can always cut away extra in the end ^_^ Hope that helps!
Very easy
very helpful thank you 💖
+Bunny Box You're welcome! :)
+Bunny Box You're welcome! :)
How many layers of glue should you have on your wig cap
Nice and STiFf
Can I use Finical in the wig cape
😂😅😍
Can you use a different glue
what type of modge podge feels hot when its drying?!?!?
It doesn't feel hot but it does feel warm a little before it's almost totally solid. Try it out next time you use it :)
Yayy!!!! ^////^
Is there any alternative for mod podge
Wolfy ruff Elmer's could work
Instead of using fabric for the base- use baby wipes half dry. Easy, cheap and more flexible, after applying the glue on top of it.
Hi I would like to know if you can sew the hair on like when you Rerooting a Barbie Dolls hair with a needle and hair I would like to make a cap for a Liv Dolls by Spin Master I just can't figure out how to make a wig cap like the one they make there wigs its plastic its soft so you can Rerooting Dolls hair on the plastic I like your doll cap l'm hoping I will be making your wig cap soon
Thank you so much

+Sandra Mcghee hi! So personally I've never tried to sew on this type of wig cap, so I can't recommend sewing. I don't think this type of wig cap would withstand a lot of sewing and unfortunately I don't know a *lot* about rerouting hair for dolls - otherwise I would be able to tell you a bit more I bet! I still think you could make an awesome wig for any size doll with this method though :) good luck!!
I mean i don't think it would work personally but can I just give you a mental hug right now for using a Liv doll I have one that I like to mainly use and I'm in love with them so thank you for that, I feel less alone now lol
😄👍🏾
Anybody know how for smaller dolls
is he iplehouse daniel??
can we take another thing if i do not have mod podge 😪😥😥 but super video
Marinne Lemaire I just use normal glue (elmers is good) and it does the same effect
That’s what she said..... Lol🤣
Your videos are awesome! Got me trying out this wig making method even lacking any of the right materials! Wig cap out of thick polar fleece and cheap brushed acrylic yarn for hair. But I got an idea of the time and how to work this style for future and it was inspired by finding your videos!
In the UK I've had trouble sourcing the fiber for the hair, but I found this, if you get a chance could you tell me if the alpaca fibers here would work? www.worldofwool.co.uk/products/50/speciality_fibres.htm Absolutely no worries if you can't!
Thanks! Awesome to hear you're finding ways of practicing even without the materials you'd like to use ^___^ I hope all your projects are going well so far (and will in the future as well)!
As for the website - it is a bit hard to tell through the pictures if the fiber is combed into locks or if something else is going on. You could order a sample pack to see what the fiber is like, but you might want to contact them to make sure. Pictures can be tricky and you don't want to end up buying yarn.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful! And hey, let us know if that website works out for you, it'd be a great resource to share :)
It's been so much fun just making wigs, and even making a second with the same stuff created much better results. So I'm really looking forward to getting the right stuff in future!
Thank you for having a look for me! I'll give the sample pack a go, heck might even wind up with enough to make something for a smaller doll even with that.

without context this looks like an abduction
What is this
This is a fitted cap for a BJD (ball joint doll) that you can then use to glue fibers on like yarn, alpaca, goat, synthetic, etc. Basically, it's the first part of making a doll wig :)
ugh I don't have any of this stuff🙀🙀
Don't worry - most of this stuff is pretty cheap! Well, not the doll, but the rest of it is cheap XD I bet you could get everything else for less than 10 dollars :)
