Home and Wig Making: Part One, Finding the Materials

To successfully construct a Hedwig foam wig L.E. Smith and I have decided to peruse the local craft stores for an appropriate foam material. So far, we've traversed Joanne ETC, A.C. Moore, and Hobby Lobby. For a good 12 by 18 inch piece of moderately thick foam we've found the best deal, so far, at Hobby Lobby (brand name FoamTastic as apposed to the more expensive Foamies.)

We've yet to go to the Foam and Fabric outlet, though, which might yield better results.

The color has also become an issue as there are two shades of yellow. One shade is bright, one hue below highlighter yellow while the other has more of a golden rod-esque theme. Both are 3mm thick and we surmise it will take two of them to make a suitably thick non-flemsy wig.

Will update eventually if a computer becomes available in the latter part of the day.
