How To Customize Your Lace Wig Caps Smaller Or Larger

Hi everyone, Scott its Lily. Well, things have changed for me regarding this week that I was going to make. Initially, I was going to use a lace-front, oh that I had. You know already made an old one that I took off of a wig, but the more I start looking at it, the lace frontal has a center part and I don't want to deal with the same apart. You know I don't want to deal with trying to fill it in with makeup to make it. You know, look good and everything I just want everything going all back and to leave my hairline out to cover the edge. So that's how I want to make it so what I decided to do was to go ahead and just soak the tracks all the way on and simulate this area right here, which is a 1 by 2 inch and you, since I'm wearing it behind the hairline And my hair is covering the edge. I really don't have to worry about. You know one needle or real fine ventilating across the front, I'm just gon na use, maybe a for NATO in the back and a three NATO three two to three or four NATO in the front and just fill it in really quickly. It'Ll only probably take me a day, so what I do so far is I took some wig lace and this is you know the wig lace you're buying a little hat for dollar ninety-nine. You know I use it to sew to add additional foundation onto my wig caps, because you know these are the wig caps that I have, and these are the ones that I sell and they're very stretchy thin. And when I make my wigs, I want my waist to last at least five years now this lace up here. This flowery lace is pretty sturdy. I don't have to cover it, but since I actually cut this lace to fit, I'm gon na go just go ahead and cover that I mean it won't hurt anything. But these are. This is the cap. This is actually a center part cap. I sell these cap says you know, go to my website. Wigglies calm. The link is always in the description area. There is a little Amazon, dot-com icon from now on, you'll have to order the weight caps through Amazon, and I still have a few of these left, but they're all size small. So but these are one size fits all if you're interested and I have photos of them. I'Ve have a couple videos up of these wig caps, so just grow through my videos and look for all the information. So what I'm gon na do to get started with this, I went ahead and I bought some new hair. I bought 14 and 16 inch hair. I dyed it to get rid of. You know the black, because I don't wear black, I'm initially. I dyed to dark brown, so it's a dark brown up here and then I'd like you to begin to this. You know horrible goal didn't go down whatever color, hopefully it tones down a little bit. So this part, my friend, is what I'll be ventilating with, because I want you know the darkness to match my dark roots in the front, and I might have to dye that black look get to that. So what I'm gon na do is I'm gon na go ahead and I'm gon na hand base this net on I'm just gon na hand base it all around the edge. At this point, I'm not sure if I'm gon na cut the flaps off, I mean it. Just gives me extra room and if I normally I'm hesitant about these flaps, because you know the tracks have to come all the way down. I don't know what I'm gon na do now. I'M actually gon na stop the I'm gon na. Stop it. I'M gon na. Only baste it here, I'm not gon na baste it over the flap. So I'm not quite sure what I want to do. You know how I want to if I want to keep these flaps on, if I want to cut them off, but you'll see that hi everyone, so I have finished basting, and so, as you can see, I also sold some handsome hand a system laser, and so I did stop right at the flap and I left this drive here. Normally there was two straps. There was one here. I took that one off and I just left this one here for support. So let me show you what it looks like on the inside. For those of you that want to use this cap, I want to note that when you're basting, your lace, don't baste it right at the edge, because, if you'll notice, it's a you know, it's a thick. The thick elastic is here so you're gon na have to when you go on the inside, see to cut that elastic, see how thick it is. So you don't want to you know you don't want to baste over that part so, based on the outside of that, because you're gon na eventually take that off and a track is gon na, actually come all the way around to the edge to really secure that Lace Dale, so that's how you're gon na do that now I have decided to leave this flaps on it. I'M gon na try this cap on for you, so I'm gon na go ahead and put it on my head and then I'm gon na show it to you. I took my way back. I'M gon na show you why I decided to keep it on. Okay, have no makeup on so um. This is how far I would go down. I have a little head. My circumference is like twenty point, five or twenty-one maybe way, um a lot of room. So normally I wear behind my hairline. So it would come right here. Right, because this is all the hair that ie about, so it would rest right there and see how this just rests right there. So I think that I'm gon na go ahead and keep it on. I just made it look crazy, but I think I'm gon na go ahead and keep these little flaps on, because when I put the cones on and push it back behind my hairline, you know it's still flesh. Even I was just worried about it not being flesh. Even so, basically be like that and I'm gon na just pinch, and because I hate when my cap is too big, I'm just gon na go ahead and just kind of hand sew this. Just just a little like a half an inch, I'm just gon na go ahead and hand sew it down from like this is my hair back here, so I'm gon na start, like maybe about four inches just hand, so this little bit right up in here everyone. What I'm going to show you is that I started applying the tracks to the cap, but what I wanted to emphasize is that the tracks before they are machine sewn they have to either be glue to the cap or hand based with weaving thread when I, whenever I hand base I use weaving thread and because I want to get through with this cap pretty quickly, I am actually using a bonding glue to apply the tracks. So when you use bonding glue, I just kind of want to show you. You can't tell that I have bonding glue because it's very very, very neat. This is what it looks like an insight if you're making a wig for a person you're gon na and you're, if you want to apply the trucks with bonding glue first. Just take your time and be very neat and careful with it. So basically this is the inside, so you can Harlee tell that ass bonding glue. So what I do is, I did four tracks from the bottom and I actually set it in the freezer and let it get hard because you know it takes forever for the bomb to get hard. It'S always going to be just a little sticky. I said it in the freezer and now I'm gon na go ahead and machine, so the layers down then I'll do another section and bond it down and let it get hard and a freezer. Then I'll machine sew it and then I'll finish up the top. What I wanted to tell you, though, that I have decided to do is cuz. I was concerned about the flap. I decided to leave the flap on, but I have also decided that I'm not going to bring the tracks all the way across to the edge of this I'm going to ventilate all of this. So it's pretty it's a pretty thick place, but it can't be ventilated through. So I'm doing really really large needle down here, probably I'll, be grabbing four to five hairs, using my largest needle and filling all this in with you know, with the ventilation and then I'll ventilate, the top, and I also went ahead and I just machined some. You know this down just to secure it in place, because I'm gon na be finished with this pretty quickly. So I'll come back to you when I have all the tracks laid and I am ready to bend.
