skin wefts and clips

Was just thinking and wondering if you could sew clip on the skin wefts extensions or would it be too thin?

Really, I thought that the weft material was thin and almost sheer. I am totally confused then lol

the skin material varies in thickness on different skin wefts. They shouldnt be real thick, but some may be thicker than others. I agree that I dont think clips would work well on skinwefts. I think they might buckle, rather than lay flat.

I do not know how easy it would be to do, but it is possible. In the click  below, there is a picture of skin wefts with clips.  The seamless hair I use has a thin skin weft material and I would assume it would be fairly easy to sew some clips in.   Good luck and please post pictures if you do.

I've got a whole head set of clip ins I made from skin wefts. They're great!

They're the type of skin wefts that have a thin strip of peel off backing adhesive on them. I peeled that off, doubled the weft over so they stuck together and then sewed the clips on. With the two sides together, it doubled the density of the weft.

I'll see if I can get some photos uploaded of them. I'm not proud of the quickie sew job I did on them but they've been holding up very, very well and no buckling.

I have to say, it was much harder getting the needle through the two skin layers but it's definitely doable.


Edit to add photos:

Hopefully you can see the skin weft well. I hand sewed right through these and they were doubled. They're no thicker than many machine wefts out there.

Hope this helps.
