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...

Katie made a version with wings for Hope that she wore to our grand opening party last Autumn. I love the feathers in her hair!

Not sure about Halloween yet...trying to get a gang involved to dress up as the Breakfast Club. Hope it comes together in time!

You have no idea how precious this is. I absolutely adore it. I've already purchased my costume this year (SAILOR JUPITER!!) but I will save this for next year and share it.
Also, I purchased your e-course Blog Love when you mentioned the update and I have been learning so much. I bought a little notebook and everything to make notes and even bought a new agenda (from Moleskin, love it!) to plan out my posts (before I was making it up as I go). I'm going to do my best to start implementing everything. It has been so helpful! I am so grateful. I've loved blogging so much recently and reading your course has been giving me so much helpful guidance. I will definitely be recommending it to friends when I'm finished.
Kindness is the best accessory,
Rebecca
