Description
A couple of different people have asked me to make a tutorial next time I made a wig. Well, I got this pretty pink fur and wanted to make a wig for Ichigo from it, so I went ahead and took pictures along the way. I hope this is helpful to anyone who wants to make wigs. Ichigo's wig pattern was custom fitted for him, using a different pattern as a template. The original pattern can be found here , compliments of Undead Threads.Ichigo is an Asian styled ball-jointed doll. His mold is Volks Ko-Tenshi Tsubaki. Ichigo and all rights associated with him belong to me, Rorek.
It looks like Undead Threads is down for the moment, so I've put the patterns on my photobucket for the time being.
SD Wig, MSD Wig, Yo-SD Wig

Any idea how well this would work for a normal sized human being?

I think I could work, but there are probably better ways in full scale verses 1/3, 1/4, etc. It's a little easier to fudge the details on the smaller scale, where the fur is proportionally much thicker.

if the front and the back of the wig are the same then wouldn't the fabric get in the dolls eyes?

Theoretically yes, but the custom fit of the side, and general shape of the doll's head usually prevents this. Some styling is necessary, and you may find that you need to alter the pattern for a better fit for your doll.

do you know what brand the fur is XD
whenever i look for faux fur,its always very very short!
π: 0 β©: 1
The fur that I have used, I've ordered online from Distinctive Fabrics. They have short and longpile furs. The ones I've used are considered short, and work best for short fluffy wigs. If you want longer like this pink, that is a longer pile fur. Occasionally I find the faux furs in local fabric stores, usually leading up to Halloween.

I found this very informative, glad I came across it. Do these patterns lend themselves well to making cosplay wigs?
π: 0 β©: 1
Faux-fur patterns are way too short for human head sized wigs, unless you want a pixie hair cut for the wig, than maybe it could work.

I was looking for something that I could use as a pattern for a cosplay wig, I did find something and it worked well enough. Wish I had found some fur with a longer pile though, but hindsight is 20/20.

This is a wonderful help for my doll that's coming in the mail in just a few days! I'm not using fur though, I'm brushing a lot of yarn until it becomes super fluffy and soft and sewing it to fabric.

How did the wig turn out?

It kinda died. I used hair extensions instead.

Great Tutorial! Thanks!
For MSD BJD, can you put the measurment (in cm) please?
π: 0 β©: 1
The MSD in question is a 45cm I believe. Ichigo is a Volks Tsubaki, and he has the standard size body.

Thanks, I take your tutorial to helping me to make my own wig! It's perfect!
And it's easy when you know do it.
thanks for your tutorial

you wouldn't happen to have a pattern for the tiny sizes would you? the bjd i will be ordering will have 4-5 wig size, or if you can suggested how to alter your pattern then i can do it too. thank you so much

If you printed the yo-size at about 75-80% that might work. I don't have anything specifically for the 4-5 wig size, but I know the Yo-size wig is generally 6-7. You'll probably have to test print it a few times.

I don't know what the results would be with real fur, as I have not had the luxury of access to real fur. I think the only real difference would be finding the lay of the fur before cutting, and taking into account any difference in texture or lay.

Hello, Do you still have the patterns around, I don't see them. And the other site is still down. Trying to make a wig that will actually fit. Thanks,
π: 0 β©: 1
I do still have the patterns. I don't know what size you need, so here they are in order of SD, MSD, and Yo-SD.

I don't have any fur around at the moment, so I'm using the pattern you gave and some thinking to make a wig with hair wefts instead

I think you could use the pattern for a headcap for the base of a wig pretty well. :] How did your wig turn out?
