I need help dressing a skelton, Really!

[happily single]

So I have this 16 inch medical skelton( which I have named Humpty due to his falling apart) that I use for my health class. I'm struggling so much with this class and have decided to have a bit of fun before I finish (next week). So I've decided to add a hair piece to Humpty Sounds like a great, funny idea, right? Well, try finding a hairpiece for a 16 inch doll.

Any suggestions? I've thought of feathers. If I had to guess I would say his head is about 3 inches around

Party City - buy one and make your own.

Is that a
Red Skelton?

Go to a fabric/craft store. You can buy furry fabric-type stuff (check for remnants, since you'll only need a bit) or you can the hair people use to make dolls.

And post a pic when you're done.

Just had a look - Party City wig sale - $4 and up.

You can probably buy doll hair at a fabric store or Micheals.

I've tried Michael's and Walmart's craft area. I'll try Joann's tomorrow.

Thanks!

Sorry I can't help with yours but this reminds me of a practical joke waaayyy back in college. There was a real (or maybe it was just life-size) skeleton in the main Biology room, and the professor, while a sweetheart, was also a bit of a prude.

So...last day before classes were over we rolled that sucker into the common atrium for the building, dressed it in a toga and grape-leaf wreath and hung a sign around the neck: Party at Doc's house BYOB

OP, you're gonna have to get creative, it'll be worth it!!! Any craft store (Michael's, Joanne's, Hobby Lobby) sells curly doll hair, hats, etc.

what about cotton balls? glue them and then pull them up, creating a hair like appearance. From there, you can color with rit dye using another cotton ball to apply the color AND gloves.

I like this idea better than my idea of cutting my hair and gluing it to Humpty lol
