Instructions:

1. Cut the wig into two equal halves.

2. Fold each half of the wig in half lengthwise, so that the right sides are facing together.

3. Sew the two halves of the wig together along the folded edge, using a 1/4-inch seam allowance.

4. Turn the wig right side out and brush the hair to smooth it out.

5. Cut the black felt into two pieces, each 12 inches wide by 18 inches long.
