Anyone have advice on getting wigs to stay on? My doll (PIB Spinner) has a tiny head and most wigs don't stay put. Thanks!

You can also take up the slack with a stitch in the back.

A quick stitch is what I do as well. It's not a perfect fix but it works well enough.

Too complex.
Easiest way is shorten head band of wig at back. How? By sewing.

most wigs have straps that are adjustible if that doesn't work a wig pin will do! :D

What I do is place the wig on the doll. Then cinch the wig at the back between two fingers.
I then use some hot glue to join and seal the wig where it was gathered together....I usually use a clothes pin to hold it while it cools.
This simple task allows one to use any wig. And, they are then made to fit perfectly...
All the best,
Patrick

I sewed the cap from the correct place to make it fit. I also attached a small rubber band around the shortened cap to make it even firmer.

I don't think you can velcro a silicone head and I wouldn't even try.
