While I didn't need a wig for this costume, I made one to go with it for others that wore it.

I started with this wig but thought it was too plastic looking and used spray paint to make it look more realistic.

I didn't take in progress photos, but basically it was a light mist of gold paint in streaks.

The front was first sewn as done in this tutorial:

Lothlorien Wig

This is how I fixed the back of the wig.
