Wow, great job! :D The wig looks awesome, and the color scheme really fits with her skin tone.

I used yarn, cut the strands to the length I wanted it, than pulled the strands apart, than took I believe was 2 to 3 and started twisting them together, used regular elmar's glue to hold them. i used a stretchy part of a sock for the cap, she has really pointed ears so I had to make one myself to fit over hers. She is the RS Rong. and just sewed them on :) It does take a LONG time to make all the strands and let them dry... My room mate and I put on a show on netflixs and just went at it... All the materials were on the cheaper side and it still came out looking pretty good :) Its 2015 now and the wig is still holding up :) I can post some pics if you like :)
