The 1830's hair project

So I have a cheap pack of fake black hair (loose, not on wefts)

I played with the long hank like it was a ribbon and made three loops. I used black craft wire (19 gauge) to help hold them in shape and then used the wire to attach a comb. The side you see will be showing when you look at me.

Next I have to attach flowers and ribbons to dress it up and hide the wire and ugly bulk at the base.

I also have a gorgeous mini fan to put in my hair (thanks for finding it, trystbat!)



Suggestions and pointers needed, please!
