  • Hi guys! In this tutorial I'm showing you how I made the yarn wig that I used in my recent Christmas elf Monter High repaint video ^^ • Cute Christmas Elf Dol...
    This method can also be used for other types of doll hair, if you don't want to use yarn. I used a Draculaura doll in this video, you can use whatever doll you want.
    I've been making wigs for my handsculpted dolls like this for years, but very recently saw someone on youtube use yarn to make the actual lines of hair and liked the idea. I don't know who originally came up with the concept, but I first saw this channel / @mozekyto use yarn for wigging :)
    Materials for wig cap;
    Kitchen film
    Stretchy fabric
    Glue
    Rubber band
    Materials for wig;
    100% acrylic yarn (or any doll hair of your choice)
    Comb
    Glue
    Scissors
    Marker
    Kitchen film
    Thank you so much for watching, I hope you enjoyed this video ^^

    I have to say this is the first time I've found a yarn wig cap tutorial that works! I actually used tule ribbon for my material, and it worked perfectly! My Draculaura had had horrible gluey hair, so she was really happy getting new hair. Needless to say, there were a lot of pencils and straightened yarn in my room lol. Now her name is Pinky since she has no face and I need to wait until spring/summer before I can spray my sealant on her.For the first time, the bangs naturally didn't bounce up, and the wig cap was perfect because she ended up with a hole down her part because of the glue. Since I have a bright yellow design a monster that didn't really come with a wig, now I can remove the horrible face I painted on her and make Joy from Inside Out! I certainly have enough blue wool to do it, and a little tacky glue should help me style it!
    Thank you so much for helping Pinky come to be! I have another Creepyteria Draculaura who could use the same treatment. But since it took like two hours to get the bloody head off, any help is appreciated! I have some pieces of cheap wig hair from Halloween I might use instead. Either way, Pinky loves her hair!

  • @Xessa82
    @Xessa82 11 месяцев назад +9

    If you want the hair to look more natural especially the bangs, dont cut it straight across with the scissors. Instead hold the scissors so they're vertical in front of the face with the pointed end towards the forehead. Cut small sections of the bangs at a time while still holding the scissors in that vertical position. This helps you to keep from making them crooked and gives it a more natural look since hair isn't normally all one length and straight. It's also a much more forgiving way to cut bangs as well as the rest of the hair. This is how you cut bangs on an actual person.

    Can I dye yarn with hair dye? Should I do it before brushing? Anyway, cool tutorial. I'm about to make a doll and I want it to look like my mom and give it to her for a Christmas gift.I'm about to loose all my money for this and making hair of yarn is the cheapness way. (I'm like 15. I don't have a work, u know) She wants me to paint her a portrait, but I want to suprise her. If the yarn doesn't work, I can always sculpt hair but I saw dolls which are sculpt from polymer clay but have a normal, "real" hair. I like the results better. Wish me luck.

    Here is a great tip for taking the hair plugs out easier... but be SUPER careful, so you don't get hurt ;)
    1. When you have unplugged the head: soak the head in a cup of boiling water in about 3-5 minutes
    2. Take the head out of the water, empty it for water and then dry... be careful with the hot water!
    3. Then you can take your pliers and pull out the hair ;)
    With this method you loosen up the glue and you can squish the head easier ^_^

    I've watched many videos similar to this and I've noticed that most don't talk about the placement of the wefts. Sometimes they place them near the weft they had just put down and other times they put it to where there's a significant space between them. If you could make a video about this or even just mention it in one I'd really appreciate it.
