Meaning pull the wig into a ponytail, wrap it tightly, cut it off, and coat it in silicon adhesive caulk.

Did you ever have problems with the ponytail gapping? I did all the steps but the hair keeps falling to the sides making the middle of thr ponytail look sparse. Any suggestions?

You can use some wefts to cover the ball on the side that could show. I also coated it with hairspray so the top that laid over the bun didn't move much.

Thank you so much! I think I might have figured it out (with lots of hair spray and bobby pins) but I just hope everything stays. Again, thank you for this amazing tutorial, I would have been lost without it!

Just a question about the weft. Did you cut the wefts out of the clips or just glued the netting to the foam base? i am currently using this tutorial for a wig I am making and I am not sure exactly what you meant?Β
π: 0 β©: 1
I glued the whole piece to the foam. The net adheres to the caulk.

this is amazing and so helpful !! when you say large styrofoam ball, how large is it? is it ok 150 mm ?Β

I believe that's the largest one my local craft store carries. Yes.

A quick question! When you say you used 2 clip ons, is it plus the clip on that is on the Jeannie? So 3 in total, or did you just buy one extra? Β (alsoΒ something slightly unrelated - when buying clip ons from arda, you only buy one right? not a pair)Β
π: 0 β©: 1
The Jeannie comes with a clip, so I count it and the second one that you purchase on top of that.
Since I made this tutorial they came out with the Jasmine, which is much better for the style since you only need to put in one stub. You will have to purchase two clips if you go with the Jasmine (it doesn't come with clips).

Thank you so much!
I was looking for a way to remake my Thumbelina and stumbled upon your tutotial. It looks amazing! Can't wait to make it!
Thank you so much for making this tutorial! <3

No problem! I hope it all works out for you! I always found the hardest part is waiting for the caulk to dry.

Wow! This is amazing! Do you think you could use a similar thing for twin tails?

Do you mean Sailor Moon tail styles?
There are plenty of those on the internet!

The ones that I originally learned from:
www.pettingzoowigs.com/wigtutoβ¦
www.pettingzoowigs.com/wigtutoβ¦

Some of them are for pre-made pigtail wigs, and some include the old-fashioned "Back parting" that we had to do before pigtail wigs were more widely available in a wider color range.
Hope that helps!

Hi, that wasn't me that made that costume. You might be thinking of I have only made Thumbelina's regular hairstyle.

You can order matching ones from arda.

This is truly magnificent! Gorgeous wig and lovely tutorial as well!
I'm curious though. Would this work for this? oi43.tinypic.com/2i0t1n4.jpg
It's not as long, but I'm trying to make it so I don't need to rely on a clip-on part, as well as make sure it doesn't move either.
π: 0 β©: 1
You could use this method but I really think just a clip on would suffice. It's actually a pretty thin ponytail. You could get away with using Arda's Jasmine or Jeannie in Maroon. I don't think you'd need to go this far to achieve the look you want.

I'm sorry, but what does it mean to "Stub" the wig? Β I wasn't quite sure what you meant. Β 
π: 0 β©: 1
I use clear adhesive caulk because it is a stronger glue for wigs. It is flexible but very stable. Plus it is cheap. You can get it in the home/tools aisle at most large big box stores (Wal*Mart/Meijer), and at every hardware store. You can use hot glue on styrofoam, I just prefer not to use it to anchor big pieces.
Katie Bair is the one that I learned stubbing from. Her tutorial is here:Β www.pettingzoowigs.com/wigtuto...
You can see in step 2 that I used two stubs for this style. This is to compensate for the Jeannie's bottom layer being too short to be swept into the top stub. Thankfully the foam piece is large enough that it covers all that.
Hope that helps!
