Making a Rapunzel wig?
Hii so I practically never use reddit, but I'm in charge of hair and makeup for a small school production of Into The Woods and in weighing up my options.
I don't want to buy from Amazon or Shein, but other options for extra long wigs that I can find are $60-$80 (aud) which is a LOT to spend on a wig for a 2-3 show high school production, that will end up sitting in storage getting dusty after the show is over. (The teacher whos directing said he is willing to spend that much, but idk how worth it that would be.)
SO I was considering making a wig myself out of yarn? I have pretty minimal experience with wigs/wig making but I am pretty crafty and quick to pick up skills. I'm just not sure how much effort and time it will take, and whether it will actually be better than buying an expensive high quality wig.
I don't need it to look perfect, it just needs to be wearable and read as a Rapunzel wig (the actor playing Rapunzel literally has a beard and is going to be in drag so)
Any advice/input very much appreciated!!
