electrathon Report post Posted July 10, 2014 The short answer is get the leather very wet and pull it over a bowling ball. Let it dry, then trim to size. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buddahcjcc Report post Posted July 10, 2014 Whats the right shape? Ive been trying conical with a flat bottom but Im guessing its supposed to be curved instead? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
electrathon Report post Posted July 10, 2014 Take a piece of bailing wire and wrap it around your head. Adjust it till it fits. Leave room on the inside. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jason Austin Report post Posted July 10, 2014 I am in the middle of one of those as well. The shapes are roughly triangular. The bottom edges are straight but the two sides that go up to the top are curved outward. I actually started with rectangles and wet molded those over the appropriate area of a wig stand (fake head). I then inserted the pieces into the "frame" and trimmed until the edges lined up with the middles of the "cross bars". I hope that helps without pics.
