Foam Bouffant Wig

Product Information

After creating an understructure, you can begin to craft the foam wig itself. Let’s use the example of foam wig with spikes as an example! Add about half or quarter-inch to the sides of the cut-out quadrants before cutting the foam in their shapes. This gives some allowance to glue them to each other. After cutting the foam into bits and pieces, glue them together till they look just like the molded base made of tape.

Trace out your hairline to the position of your ears, so it’s easy to cut because you know where everything is located, and so you know where all the points are located when you’re done cutting. After marking the points, begin to cut. Step 2: Make a Foam BaseHowever, not all foam wigs require an understructure. You could go straight to crafting the foam wig itself. For example, if you intend to create a foam wig with spikes, your next step would be to create the spike, or cone-like forms. Step 4: Craft the Foam Wig After your foam base is ready, place it on the styrofoam wig head. Now, you’ll need to create an understructure for the foam wig itself. The understructure would be built on the foam base. Usually, an understructure is a combination of different shapes and structures that all come together to make one. Especially if your foam wig is a spikey design, you’ll need to sketch out a lot of aligning shapes. What Size of Foam Should I Get?
