Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Lay out the four faux fur panels side by side to form a continuous strip approximately 24 cm high and 180 cm wide.
2. Use scissors to trim any uneven edges and shape the ends into a rounded or jagged mane-like outline.
3. If needed, glue the edges of the panels together using the hot glue gun to create one long continuous faux fur strip. Use clips to hold edges while drying.
4. Measure the elastic band around your head or over the hoodie neckline to ensure a snug but comfortable fit.
5. Cut the elastic band to your measured length.
6. Attach the elastic band to the ends of the faux fur strip using hot glue, forming a loop with the fur strip in front and elastic at the back. Hold firmly until glue sets.
7. For extra stability, glue a small piece of felt fabric over the elastic joins on the inside.
8. Once dry, turn the mane over your hoodie so the faux fur frames your face and the elastic sits comfortably at the back of your neck.
9. Adjust and fluff the fur to create a natural lion mane appearance.
10. Wear and enjoy your realistic lion mane wig without any sewing!
