Hello! My name is Anya
And I'd like to show you how to turn your old cosplay ponytail wigs
And improve them and turn them into
Very tall, giant, big, ponytails
And swing them around and hit people *laughs*
I'm going to show you how to do this 
with my Schwarz wig
And this tutorial was inspired from Saya Costumes and Kinpatsu Cosplay
So, please check out their videos!
The EVA foam I'm using is about 5 millimetres thick
and it's six inches by 3.5-4 inches
The 4 inches is how tall i want my ponytail to be
Next, just cut out the foam with a pair
of scissors or some razor blades
Using a heat gun, just heat both sides of
the EVA foam on low setting
This will heat seal the foam and also
you can form the shape a lot better
To glue the EVA foam together, I'm using premium contact adhesive
You can also use hot glue for this
method and just paste it on both sides
It doesn't have to be clean, since
you won't be able to see it anyway
Just clean up the sides and let it dry
for about five minutes
Until it becomes a bit tacky
After the glue is tacky, just stick the
sides together
I used the top of my thumb to make sure
that the sides line up properly
Using the tube just trace out a circle
with a pen
This will cover the opening of the tube
Then just cut out the circle with a pair
of scissors
I put the circle inside the tube just to
make sure it fits
Using the premium contact adhesive again, glue around the inside of the tube
Then do the same thing to the circle and
wait about five minutes
Until both of them become tacky
After five minutes just stick the circle
inside the tube
Taking your Flexbond. I accidentally spilled some.
Prime the EVA foam with the Flexbond
It's recommended to do 3 layers of
the Flexbond after each layer dries
Next, paint the base with the same color
of the wig
I mix both acrylic black and white to get a
grey, light, white colour
And just paint it all over the base
Make sure to paint the underside of the tube as well
Because that can be seen through the wig
After you're done, just let it dry for I
think about 1 to 2 hours
So, I accidentally made my base too dark
But you should be able to do a better
job than I did
Using the ponytail clip, make indents
into the foam tube thing
Then use a pen or pencil and push
through the holes that you just created
The holes on the tube will help the ponytail clip to clip on more securely
Using a pen or pencil, make a hole on the
top and the bottom of the tube
Taking my Worbla sheet, I'm measuring
1 inch or 2.5 centimetre strips
Then I measured out 2 pieces of 4 inch and 1 piece of 2 inch strips
Then take your pair of scissors and cut out your Worbla strips
So, now I have the base for my ponytail
Using the heat gun on the lowest setting, heat up the two strips and make sure that they stick together
When the Worbla is heated up, it can stick to itself
Taking the 2 inch strip, just cut it in half
I didn't want to waste the other strip
I got these 2 nails from the toolbox
downstairs
I heated up the Worbla and then
wrapped it around the bottom of the screw
To be stuck onto the wobble cross
I made sure to push it into the cross
and squeeze the Worbla around the nail
Then doing the same thing with the second nail
This nail will be stuck on towards the bottom of the cross
Before I stuck the second nail on, I marked out the position with my pen
Then I heated up the second nail again and then stuck it in the position
The Worbla should be pretty warm at
this point
So, I stuck it towards the back of my mannequin and waited for it to cool down and form its shape
After the Worbla has cooled down,  it
should look something like this
To make sure it fits, just slide the foam
onto the nail
And this is how the ponytail looks
without the base wig
To prevent my wig from slipping and
falling off my head, since the ponytail is pretty heavy
I decided to sew 2 wig clips under the front of my wig
To insert the base through my main wig
I used a seam ripper and ripped out the middle part of the wig
This is how the wig looks with the nail
sticking out
The ponytail was slightly too heavy, so I
used some scissors and layered the ponytail
To put the ponytail on my wig, I just
inserted the ponytail into the nails
And this is the finished ponytail
Here's a comparison between the regular ponytail clip versus the new and modified one
It looks a lot taller and bigger
I also use this method for my Takao wig
and you can see the difference a lot better
I really encourage you to do this with all your cosplay ponytail wigs
Because it looks so good
I really hope you enjoyed this cosplay wig tutorial
