By Jane Alman


At times, you get so busy that Halloween suddenly creeps up, only to realize you have not made or purchased a costume yet. If this happens, you need not panic. There is a simple way of creating your own Halloween wigs using simple household items. It is often made by several different persons, so enjoy yourself as you create your own costume.

In order to start making one, you need a mop, a sewing kit and a hat. You may purchase these at any local store. When purchasing the mop, ensure you purchase one that has long strands. Get a new mop, if possible. This is to make sure you do not get something dirty and possibly infectious on your head. Also ensure that it has relatively long strands. You do not have to buy an expensive one.

When you get back to the house, start by removing the mop head from the stick. Most mops are designed by simply nailing or screwing the stick in place, so all you ought to do is to either pull it out or unscrew it. If it was fastened using nails or staples, it is safe to remove them. This ensures you remain free of the risk of injury.

Get that old baseball hat you have wanted to dispose out of the closet. Using the thread and needle start sewing your mop to the top of the old hat. Ensure that you sew it tight since it is heavy and could easily rip off. Use long stitches. You may tug it gently to check if it is tight enough.

Use a pair of scissors to cut the bill of the hat off. In most cases, the bill is very hard, so you may need to use a large pair of shears. Work diligently and fast, ensuring all bits are carefully cut off. It looks bad to have bits sticking out of a jagged edge.

At this stage, the wig is almost ready. All you need to do now is to trim the mop to your desired shape. Look for a desirable design, and shape your wig that way. Ensure you cut the front part to ensure you are able to see though it.

Making Halloween wigs can even be done as a family thing. Gather everyone and ask them to create a wig for themselves. Use different designs and make unique and creative creations.
