Today is May 4th… so to all your Star Wars fans: May the Fourth be with you! I made this quick and easy Princess Leia Yarn Wig for my daughter. You can whip one up today too! I’m sure most of you have the supplies at home. Here is the how-to:
Materials:
– One skein of brown yarn.
– One piece of brown felt
– Old socks (doesn’t really matter what color but it helps if its brown)
– Hot glue gun
– Scissors
– Measuring tape
– 2 rubberbands or ponytail holders
You can make this wig for any size head. You will need to measure from the front of your hairline all the way to back hairline by the neck (right down the center). My 8 month old daughters was about 10 inches.
Cut a piece of your felt 3 inches wide and the length you measured (so in my case 10 inches)
Now make strands of your yarn about 4 feet long. You will use your whole skein (I didn’t have a whole skein so my wig is a little bare). Lay the yarn over the felt strip. Your felt strip should be in the center of the yarn strands. Trim ends of felt like the picture below so you have the correct hairline in the front and back. Comb the yarn with your fingers and spread it out across the felt

OMG! she is sooo cute!

So I made this and it turned out great! Big ty for the guide.
Thanks for the direction! Our little one was Princess Leia for Halloween. The wig was the hit of the party!
They so cute and lovely .I will try it following the diy tutorial.
I just spent about half an hour and made a Leia wig for myself. Such a great tutorial!!Our office is having a staff meeting via Zoom tomorrow and we are supposed to have a May the 4h costume and now I do. I had a whole skein of brown wool yarn that was twisted into a loop. I undid the loop and spread it out along my strip of brown fabric cut for my head. I pinned a strip of newsprint paper on top of the yarn through it to the fabric underneath and used my sewing machine and walking foot to stitch down the center to attach the yarn to the fabric strip. The paper kept the yarn from shifting and from tangling with my sewing machine foot. The paper tore away along the stitching line. Then I followed your instructions on making the buns! Happy May the fourth! Thanks so much!
Thank you! I absolutely love this wig and instructions are super easy to follow. Your daughter is ADORABLE…but no doubt, much bigger by now! 🙂
Oh. My Word. I LOVE IT!!! Super adorable!!
