I'm making a hairpad/wiglet thing to make it easier to style my hair in proper late 18th century style. The Still From MA is roughly what I'm aiming for.

I'm fallowing the tutorial Here:http://www.vivcore.com/fancygirl/rococo_puff.html

The almost finished hairpad. Buckram base, glue-gunned toy stuffing, spray-paint, and netting. Right now I am debating whether I am going to use the hair weft I bought, or just try making it work with my own hair. The with weft version would save me styling time, but the no weft version would keep up with my dye jobs better.

Bottom view of hairpad. The bottom is also spray painted. Weave clips are AMAZING! Most of the construction was done either by glue gun, or curved needle and silimide thread.

This is actually my second attempt at a hair pad...this is my first:

A failed attempt involving shoulder pads and netting...

The all time, real world biggest pouf!
