PALMER, Alaska – A mom and former cancer nurse is asking for help to create more "princess" wigs for kids fighting cancer.
According to ABC News, Holly Christensen of Palmer, Alaska, started the Magic Yarn Project to help a friend's daughter who was diagnosed with cancer.
She made the girl a wig out of yellow yarn to resemble Rapunzel’s hair.
She said traditional wigs tend to be uncomfortable, especially for little kids.
"What better way to comfortably cover a little girl's head and help her feel like a 'princess' again than with a beautiful, handmade yarn wig build on a soft crocheted beanie?" Christensen wrote on Facebook.
Christensen said the special wig was an instant hit and she started getting more requests.

Hoping to make more wigs, Christensen created a workshop to teach dozens of other people to make the wigs that can help a child battling cancer feel just a little better.

She is now raising money for supplies and will give the wigs away to cancer patients for free. If you would like to help, click here.
