After possibly being cut [I bought it too long to be on the safe side |D;;], and having the lightning bolts stay in position throughout the day?

And I've never done anything like that before, but I suggest wire then wrapped around? Haha, can't help you much on that. Last edited by Stripeycow (01 Mar 2011 - 18:11) |

http://www.cosplayisland.co.uk/costume/view/11455 For that you'll need to cut off some sections (which you'll be doing anyway so keep what you trim off) and get either some pva glue or silicone (found in diy stores). Lay the fibres on a flat surface and cover one side in the product then leave to dry. When it's dry you should end up with a solid strip of wig fibres that you can cut into shape and glue together. I would use three separate lines for each side for each direction of the bolt. Glue them to the inside of the wig cap and they'll hold out on their own. |

I have chosen to use SephNoir's method of cutting the wig and using PVA glue to fix the bolts in shape : ) I just hope it attaches back to the wig ok. |
