Ok here is it goes...
Im doing hair for a big performance, and would like to make some of this thingies
I think this is made with sewing or gluing the hair together . Did any of you tried something like that?
I tried sewing the hair together, and adding some wire, it worked fine, but my sewing machine broke down so i was thinking to glue the thing together.
If you have any ideas pleas let me know ;) |

you buy hair like that on a sort of weft, it looks like feathers.
No idea where to get it though, i am sorry! _________________ Rupunzel,Rupunzel, let down your woolly hair!

I've seen short clips of 'feather' hair that has a wire down the middle. they're at amphigory.com. not sure if they'd be long enough.
my other idea, i think this is what wiccan_willow was getting at, take two wefts, sew the track together, and you could insert some wire in that way as well. just put the wire between the two wefts. |

Hmmm the two wefts idea is good. I tried to make something like that, i made one weft seaweed in the middle, the problem is that I have to figure out how should the wire be added. It shouldn't be visible, an the weft shouldn't rotate round it.
In my city i can only dream of buying it made that way :( |

if you were really really careful you could probably make a very thin casing for some thin (probably plastic coated, to match the hair) wire much like a corset has..
use narrow lace, ribbon, or mesh down the center, with 2 lines of stitching very close (even a double needle if you use a small enough diameter of wire) just be sure to think about stitch length in regards to your fabric - you don't want to perforate the fabric so it falls apart either
you could probably use a line of glue - even something like liquid gold - over the stitching afterwards to add strength to the casing so it doesn't tear away from the weft _________________ i like my coffee black

you can get welfs at ikickshins.net really cheap. All you'd have to do is glue two different sections together. |
