DIY DOLL HAIR OUT OF YARN | CHEAP AND EASY ALTERNATIVE FOR DOLL HAIR | PassionFruitDIY

This video is a great tool for anyone who doesn't have an access to on-line shopping and loves doll crafts! Doll hair is not very expensive but it's hard to find so I decided to use something most craft lovers already have!
Materials:
Acrylic yarn (here's a very similar one): amzn.to/2C0KH6Q
PVA glue: amzn.to/2MWmmkT
The yarn I'm using is super cool because of different shades - it creates this cool highlight look. Yarn is really cheap and you can get it in big quantities and you don't need that much for the project!
Strands of hair I made in this video are perfect for making a doll wig or gluing straight into a doll/any creation. They're not best for re-rooting - you'll need longer pieces without the gluing part.
If you have a pet brush it will be very helpful to de-tangle the yarn faster.

*Hey guys! I hope you enjoyed this video! I just posted a new tutorial on tinsel hair extensions if you want to check it out! You could use it on yourself or add some sparkle to doll hair from this video!*

[@EgglixAndLILINO]

You're amazing now I can make my own dolls hair without having to buy expensive hair for rerooting I can also make me own rerooting tool thanks SO SO SO SO much !!!!!!!💓💓💓💖💖💖💖💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💟💟💟💞💞💝💘💗💗💗💘💝

[@kitikatuu]

@@EgglixAndLILINO Yeah, Rerooting is simple when you can make it yourself without going to buy everything

[@prismafay702]

Hey, what kind of straightener did you use for this process? I'm struggling to find a straightener that won't be too hot for the acrylic yarn 🫠 your feedback will be greatly appreciated

[@Passionfruitdiy]

@@prismafay702 not sure of the brand, just a cheap one. Try on lowest temperature and wet the hair

[@DeDee357]

Finally! Simple but very detailed instructions for a beginner making synthetic hair wefts. As an added bonus, the materials and tools are items I have readily available. Thank you!

Thanks for this video. At first I tried to use a hog hair brush to comb out the twists, but a comb actually worked better. Thank you!

[@custarrdd3306]

TYSM!! I'm just starting out on my first custom doll and I don't have any pet brushes on hand so the comb alternative is very helpful. Thank you for this video :)

Not bad. Look pretty good. I think I'll try some yarn for my project.

[@thebaileyskid]

I'm having problems with brushing out, it's breaking off...does it matter that it's polyester and not acrylic?

[@Passionfruitdiy]

It will break of a lot so don't worry about it. I haven't tried polyester so not sure.

[@anna90417]

What happens if it keeps breaking off so much that it’s not long enough

[@mysticalquartz901]

It needs to be acrylic yarn

[@anna90417]

I use acrylic yarn

[@Layla-tg2qe]

It has to be acrylic or it won't look quite right.

[@bonniebunbuns630]

Thank you that really means a lot

[@majidmahjoorart]

tnks .....this video was so usefull

[@princess7strawberry]

Does the music remind anyone of “Gortimer Gibbon’s Life on Normal Street”? Probably why I wholeheartedly disagree with the comments that find it creepy and clashes with the video. It’s whimsy and mysterious; works well with a fantasy feel, which ties into the unicorn reference in the video.

[@MSANTHR0P3]

I'm new at this and just found your video... as i'm combing it I'm losing so much if it and the length! What am I doing wrong?

[@sdm47]

Ms Anthrope You’re not doing anything wrong the hair you get will always be shorter than the yarn you started with Think of the amount of hair you want and get twice that amount of yarn

[@MSANTHR0P3]

@@sdm47 Great! Thank you so much...I was feeling so frustrated.

[@EllaTheWolf2]

Can it use as fur?

[@HellaMoist1337]

What material is your yarn?

[@princess7strawberry]

Last night, I finally dove in and started to make wefts (after years of watching doll customizing channels and wanting to try myself). I noticed the comment that said breakage is normal, but at what point is it not salvageable? Is it better to have the yarn length short as to not break with unraveling (is mine too long at 14, 18 inches)?

[@Passionfruitdiy]

It's better to have it way longer than you want it. It's going to break off while brushing out and then you'll still want to style and cut it. 14/18 inches sounds like really long though,will be a lot of work. Start brushing from the bottom and slowly move up. Put a movie on or something to help you kill time 😉 good luck!

[@kh6130]

Is there a follow up video showing how to attach the hair to the doll head?

Can you tell me which type of yarn you use ?

[@tammysoutherland1405]

That's pretty good

[@catherinedilworth1363]

What fiber do I need to do this, please? Can I use wool yarn? It would be so much more practical to use the method you show than to try to order pre-made mohair wefts through the mail. The possibilities would be endless. All I would have to do would be to go to a yarn store. Thank you for your video.

[@mariaaguirre9225]

Dose any body get chills from the music

Could you make an wig with the same method?

Hi, yeah you could but it will take a lot of work ;)

[@lucyhuynh9587]

Can this be washed in the machine? Or does it get felted/matter?

[@coloursinnature5484]

[@alicialawrence8106]

Did you use acrilic yarn for the doll wefts

[@5UNST4R]

When I have time this might work for a cosplay wig-

[@Passionfruitdiy]

Could do, sounds like a lot of work though. Good luck! 🤗

[@thisisbonkers]

How do you attach it to the doll? I crochet and want to try this for realistic hair. Could you root it directly onto the head as apposed to a pencil?

[@bloomwiththestars]

It's been 2 years since you asked, so I don't know if you found an answer, but the pattern I'm using recommends gluing it to the head. It looks like it glued in sections and layers from the bottom to the top.

[@UltimateAlphaFox96]

The yarn I use keeps falling apart when I brush it. What's the best type of yarn or brush to use for this?

[@hali8252]

Can I make a wig like this? I wanna do a cosplay but can't find a wig for it

What about types of yarn? A lot of cheap yarn breaks or gets burnt from the straightener.

[@Firestar_notthecat]

Do you have to flat iron it?

[@sdm47]

GabbleCats You could mix conditioner and hot water, soak it in there for 5 minutes and comb it again (fabric softener will also suffice)

[@skylar_rainbow]

@@sdm47 Would that give the same effect as a straightener?

[@AmandaNavarro]

Skylar Rainbow The flat iron is to make it pin straight, the fabric softener or conditioner is to make it soft. Technically speaking, no, it won't give the same exact effect. But it'll feel about the same (and smell really nice).
