Hi, so I have this assessment coming up and I've decided it'll be a World War II nurse who got injured as she walk past windows in a hospital by a bomb going off in a close range/distance.


My main concern is the scalp, my teacher said to use gelatix/gelatin in the hair but I'm not so positive towards the idea of gelatix in hair. No bald caps sadly, :/


I've got ideas of using sugar glass for shattered pieces of glass but if there's an alternative, I'm open to it.

If there's anything else you can think of that might just help whether its a suggestion or an opinion, feel free to leave a response.

I suggest adding a clear plastic over it so prevent it from breaking

Yeah I read that sugar glass loses their firmness in a short time span. :/ thanks for that tip.

You could get clear resin/acrylic from a craft store and make your own pieces. It takes about 24 hours for a soft cure and a couple days for a hard cure so this may not be the best if you need it immediately. You mix it in 2 parts according to the directions. You could put down plastic and pour it into the shapes you want on that so it doesn't ruin anything and is easy to peel off. You could get or make molds but if you don't have enough time for that it may not be a good idea. I also would not use gelatin in the hair...anything sticky is not going to come out without taking hair with it and being a huge mess :/

Thanks, I ended up making half a bald cap today. It's going to look so awesome when it's done.

Aha, maybe that's why I didn't gather enough responses on this topic. I scared them away 😳. I'll post them on Monday (USA time)
