I have a Collectif Creativity for you…Yarn wigs. 

The pinkish red one is my first ever wig made for a cosplay of a cartoon called Winx Club.

The red one I am in cosplay of the main character, Bloom, from the cartoon called Winx Club.

The pale long haired wig was the villain from the Winx Club cartoon.

And the final one is a failed attempt at a Sailor Moon wig (I didn’t get the buns or the pigtails right).

I have done many smaller wigs, but these are the four full size wigs I have attempted. None of them are really good, but I had fun making them. I started making full size yarn wigs in February of 2026. It’s interesting to see how far I have come in such a short time.

They are all made with either cotton, polyester, or acrylic yarn. I glue them all to a wig cap that is an easy one-step creation. Take a pair of pantyhose, put the two legs into two knots and cut the excess so it fits your head. I usually use newly purchased pantyhose from Dollar Store. If your head is large I would recommend D size: my wigs usually have a bump in the back so I should scale down to a C size. If it’s a custom wig I would measure the circumference  of the head and add to the mannequin’s dimensions, but I generally use the mannequin head I have which is made of Styrofoam.

Oh and Winx Club’s reboot is on Netflix, and most of the Original seasons are on YouTube to watch for Free!
