Lab Journal

This week for lab I worked on the Santa Costume. There were a few things that needed to be done and one of those things was the that the zipper needed to be fixed. It was stuck and would not zip well if at all. It tool patience, but I kept working with it and eventually I got it to work again. I did not really do anything special to it, I just spent time trying to zip and unzip it over and over again. The more I worked the easier it got. Afterwards, I had someone else try it just to make sure it was not just me that could work the zipper. Sure enough it worked. It still was not perfect, but it was much better and now we know that the more we work on it, the easier it will get. After all that, I went and stated helping with the wig. It was a mess. You know how sometimes you wake up in the morning and your hair looks more like and animals nest than luscious locks? Well, it was close to that.

AFTER

In order to fix it, we used fabric softener and a fine toothed comb to slowly pick out all the knots(or as many as we could get in the time we were there). After we would get one part acceptably combed out we rolled that hair around our fingers and pinned it with a bobby pin so that when it would dry it would make nice Santa curls :)
