Former oncology nurse Holly Christensen is the creative artist and humanitarian who creates these precious Disney princess wigs for cancer patients. The project, which is titled ‘The Magical Yarn Project’ is a special way to provide cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, with some positive support.
As the title of the project states, these wigs are unusually made out of soft pieces of yarn. Each of the wigs can be custom-made to suit the individual preferences of the patients. Whether the patient wants to have flowing red locks like Ariel or a sleek black ponytail like Jasmine, Holly Christensen is able to cater to these requests.
Christensen says that these princess wigs for cancer patients are a way to “bring a little bit of magic into such a difficult time in [people’s] life."
