Making a wig using a lace frontal

Aloha,

I am torn between a lace frontal and a closure. If I get the lace frontal then i will probably have wefts left over for repairs on other wigs which would be rad, HOWEVER  I have a cap for a closure wig. I have a general mesh cap that everyone uses for u-parts and found a video where the woman cut out the part she needed before sewing BUT that was with a glueless LF cap it appears .  I have seen ladies sell wigs here in m2m where its a frontal and the back is attached to a cap so if ya have some advice let me know please. Obviously a closure would be easier  but I like having more styling options.

The frontal is 13x4 too, and my head is 21", the front abut 11", would that be a problem?

Cliffnotes version, can you direct me to the tutorials on making a Lace frontal wig?(I found 1 1/2 videos on youtube) -TIA

I've thought about doing this myself, for a more custom fit lacefront without the custom cost... Not saying its never been done, but I havent seen a frontal wig on this site or heard of it being done on this site. Back in the day members in the weave section used frontals with sew installations.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction ladies, I greatly appreciate it !

can someone who has ever frankensteined lfs, maybe the parent to a very stupid child and/or accustomed and/or very good at being atypically patient when teaching, gently guide me through this process beginning with how one makes a knot with invisible thread and how to cut in a straight line.
