Egyptian Wig

  Instructions:

• Get a small round wire loop from a craft or jewelery-making store. It should be small enough to fit on the crown of the doll's skull, but not big enough to extend beyong the head.
• Attach thin wires or thread in one and a half inch lengths all around the sides and back of loop.
• Add small seed beads to each strand. Make the beads hang loose enough on the thread so that the wig will fit naturally on the doll's head.
• For variation, you can use all black beads or all dark red beads.
• Decorate the loop with gold beads before attaching wires/thread, then attach the threads between the beads.
• Glue a gold crown (made of a wire loop covered with gold beads) to the top of the loop.
• If you don't want the big hole on the top, glue a small round piece of dark cloth under the loop.
