It’s that time of year. Time to dream up the perfect Halloween costume! Today Katie of Skunkboy Creatures is going to share how she created this amazing mother + daughter costume set. It’s rag doll inspired and oh-so-cute! Perfect for trick-or-treating or a cute costume party…
You’ll need:
-yarn in the color of your choosing cut to desired length (mine was 40 inches)
-felt strips (10 x 2 inches)
-scissors
-embroidery floss or thread
-2 hair combs per wig
Here’s how to make a simple yarn wig with a middle part: Steps 1-3: Gathering your yarn together, find the center. Using your felt strip as backing, begin sewing small sections with a backstitch. The area you are stitching together will end up being your center part.
Steps 4-6: Continue sewing on small sections until you reach the end of your felt strip. Once it is completed, flip it over. Starting at the same spot you began sewing on the yarn, stitch a comb onto the “front” of your wig. After you’ve gotten the comb on, trim the ends of your wig and try it on!
Optional bangs: Taking a shorter length of yarn, find the front/center of your wig and stitch that on in one chunk. Just like real hair, you will need to trim them to the desired length.
To complete this super cute look, style the wig with pigtails, braids, bows and flowers! Wear a fun outfit and be sure to OVER-accessorize by adding bows, aprons, tights and cute details. Enjoy..

I Have the best Husband ever* He started making the red Yarn for the rag doll for me & is going to finish for me by this Sunday* He is much better than me trying to be crafty*~ kudos to my Hubby!~
So cute! I had to do it right away!
i was wondering if Katie can tell us how much yarn she used. I used almost a whole skien and it isn’t nearly enough to cover my daughter’s hair. you can see her hair underneath.
