How to Make a Yarn Wig

Wrap yarn around a throw pillow for a medium-length wig.

Rain Blanken
To measure a wig that will reach your shoulders, you will need a pillow. You can use the short width of a standard bed pillow or a throw pillow from the couch.

Wrap your skein of yarn around the pillow 30 times. Make sure that your last wrap stops on the same side you started on. Snip the yarn from the skein.

Next you'll tie off and cut the yarn.
