DIY Doll with Curly Hair

[@roxanneparsons3847]

Emilie, I really love this whole series! You've converted me from jewelry only to fairy dolls! In fact, I will be doing my first craft show the first part of March, with fairy dolls and wine cork fairies on a manzanita tree branch with star lights. Haven't tried the curly hair or mermaid yet; they're next. Thanks again for this wonderful series!

[@helenakathedollyworldunive835]

OMG!! You read my mind as I was just thinking about curly hair yesterday while making some fairy dolls! I've made about 20 fairy dolls so far from your videos and just random flowers I found. I love every single one of them!!

[@bethany-curtisgosselin6969]

LOL I think the hair looks like Top Ramen noodles! Oh, that's a thought, a soup fairy... YES!! Food fairies!!! I am going to try and do that... :) Ahhh, I love these videos. I like doing crafts and I find that these crafts are fun.

[@kellyreyes3365]

I absolutely love your Fairy Doll tutorials. I am practicing in hopes of making ones as cute as yours. Thank you.

[@cathyhillard4602]

I have been making these dolls...they are so cute and your tutorials are perfect! Do you make any Harry Potter style Fairy dolls?

[@janedoe805]

Oooh that’s how you curled the hair! I was imagining everything from hair spray to mod podge to a teeny tiny curling iron. Because I’ve already seen a couple of your videos where your dolls had curly hair. 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@ClareCreationsAL]

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Now I can make a fairy doll of my daughters!! Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@paulamasland1612]

I so appreciate your videos! Clear and up-close viewing. Slower motion when needed. Thanks!

[@carmellabernardino2512]

yay! finally i can make merida look on dolls!😀

[@UntidyArtist]

+Carmella Bernardino I love Merida! Her curly hair is gorgeous!

[@tinaw.5538]

um, wow! I make cloth dolls, so I wasn't expecting much when I clicked on the hair tutorial, but these are really impressive! good job!

[@moniqueolivo2303]

It wasn't what I was looking for bueno I must say they are beautiful.

[@mweatherby2968]

I have kept up with your fairy doll video's and have made a few. I was curious if use a hair dryer on low would work as well. I know viewers such as myself can ask the most wild questions...but I think some of use believe you have tried everything before doing the video and I feel you do a great job of making all your videos and I for one will continue to watch. Thank you for sharing your talent and hard work with us.

[@rdhharris827]

Woohoo Emilie … have some brown hair from the fairy kit all wrapped - hope to ‘bake’ this afternoon! I can’t wait to make a curly haired fairy!

[@UntidyArtist]

Have fun! Excited to hear how it turns out! xo

[@ajarofpotential]

Fantastic! Love your ideas and so pleased that you share them through these tutorials. Thank you!

[@melissamonroe7351]

I've worked with curly haired dolls b4 & found that if I loosely wrap her hair in cling wrap & tape the wrap 2gether, it helps keep the hair neat & not fray, or straighten. Love the Fairy Dolls, I'm getting ready 2 start my very 1st one soon.

[@GSWigs]

Thanks so much for all of your tutorials. I'm up to about 11 fairies now and love each one of them!

[@littleredwagonstudio]

super cute!!! I bought some variegated floss and some yarn yesterday and some Christmas flowers...ready to get my fairy on...lol...hugs, Stephie

[@silvanafilippi662]

i have curly hair! so this is exciting to watch. lol. this is so pretty.

[@kaykirby3208]

Love your tutorials ... Definitely going to try to make one ...It will make a great gift also tyfs

[@missBonita318]

LOVE the Curls ! That & the braided up do are my fave's ...Thank you so much

[@SusanneYoung]

I wish I could take my hair off my head first before styling it 😉

[@susanstapleton7623]

Beautiful

[@silverdawnintx]

I AM GLAD TO KNOW HOW YOU DO THIS KIND OF FLOSS CURLY HAIR. I HAVE USED THE CURLY HAIR FROM THE DOLL SECTION AT HOBBY LOBBY AND WOOL AS WELL, AND THESE TWO MAKE NICE HAIR FOR THE DOLLS. I LOVE MAKING THESE DOLLS. I MUST HAVE MADE OVER 40 DOLLS SO FAR. IT IS SO ADDICTIVE, BUT VERY ENJOYABLE TO MAKE. TFS. DAWN IN TEXAS.

[@annewildig6297]

these are brilliant and a great help in sorting the hair.

[@petrakreku7028]

Omg...i cannot believe you're the bedt hairdresser i love it so much...,.❤️❤️❤️

[@hxLtORiamdaone]

wow, I was just trying to figure out how to curl the hair, i was going to use a curling iron lol (bad idea) and youre right the hair takes the longest to do, its very tidious. Great video

[@reneedoiron7560]

Beautiful! I can't wait to try it!

[@karlasalazar599]

+Emilie Lefler thats amazing on how you make your dolls it is just really unique😄

[@hmatz12]

Do you ever put faces on your dolls? I think some eyes with long lashes and soft pink dusted cheeks with a red bow mouth would be sweet! These are super darling!

[@Tns85]

That is super cute!

[@lizbyrne3065]

Love this one! Thanks!

[@denisem1632]

Thank you so much, that was great info on making curly hair. :-)

[@lizbyrne3065]

Awesome info! Thanks!

[@bluetailtailfly]

Very good video. Would this work with yarn as opposed to embroidery floss?

[@GeneticallyDesigned]

awesome! o can't wait to see the Xmas ones!

[@carmellabernardino2512]

pls do not say "X-mas" because that is not a shortcut for christmas and i dont think that it is about christ if you say "X". pls dont be mad at me i'm just saying that do not say that term :)

[@liquesgranny]

I love this am making them for my tree.

[@channelawkward6280]

Linda Mabry me too

[@abnormally_norml1357]

Me and my mom r doing these together. It’s nice bonding time and I thought about decorating our tree this year with ones we make. Mom always has a Xmas eve party so I thought we’d let each guest take a fairy. Thank you so much @emilie lefler, ur tutorials r great!

[@kirareddog]

Hi Emilie do you ever put a light spray of hair spray after you curl up the hair

[@hirota8662]

you should make a snow flake flower fairy doll it might look pretty

[@zzzzzz3006]

yeah! that would be great!

[@diannemagallon9462]

She has one

[@chuscaace6321]

[@marioannamarioanna1070]

Thank you. I have a question. What if you use these technique on a doll that you can wash. Will the curls stay curly after a machinewash? (I am sad because I think the answer is no…)

[@TomJones0065]

Just a quick question, My stove is a gas stove.. SO with that said.. I guess I should just watch it, being as this could go bad pretty fast. Any ideas of any difference in time? I love your videos very very inspiring, Making my crafting a big change in ideas! THANK YOU!!

[@UntidyArtist]

+Tom Jones Hello! Great question! I would recommend 20 minutes although I guess it would depend on what the lowest temperature setting of your stove is. YES! You would want to watch it VERY CAREFULLY! What I would suggest if you are concerned about the safety of using your stove would be to just let the thread sit for at least 24-48 hours. I have done this before and it seems to work out just fine. You can also use a hairdryer on the hot setting to speed up the drying process and help the curls set. I would use the hairdryer for about 3-5 minutes, wait an hour or so, and then dry them again. By leaving the thread to dry overnight and using a hairdryer to help the curls set faster you can easily avoid using a stove! Hope this helps! Happy crafting! :)

[@TomJones0065]

Ah Yes it helps out alot, I will use the hairdryer! Safer, less heat as well. Thank You SO Much!

[@Pchefleah]

Do you ever put anything on the hair to keep the curl in humid weather? Finding the curls we've created wear out. Starch perhaps? Help please.

[@teeram3196]

you can also curl the hair by using boiling hot water easier

[@UntidyArtist]

+Tee Ram What a great idea! Thank you for watching! xo

[@teeram3196]

You are so welcome!!I love these dolls.I am trying this very soon.

[@channelawkward6280]

Tee Ram i think the boiling water is not needed i think you could wrap the hair around straws and bobby pinning it in place and letting the hair dry

[@JanineMKartist]

Emilie Lefler what about drying with an embossing/ heat gun? Darn I don’t have clothes pegs though.

[@nikibradley85]

Hi, would you be able to use thin wool in the same way to curl it or wouldn't it work as well 😊

[@mirtasusanavacari1540]

Preciosa 💖 qué lindas quedan con los rulos con qué la moja en la fuente es agua o espray gracias un beso mirta

[@KennedyMarie]

Could you make like a green one with curly hair and a shell? Like, a turtle? It would be cool, but I totally understand if you can't..... Love the curly hair tho

Can i use wooden dowels instead of shish kabobs to wrap embroidery floss around ?

[@lindlcourtneyb]

Any ideas how to make different ethnicities? Struggling how to best dye the ball

[@NoMaybeNoYes]

Courtney G use wood stain, or just use any paint you have on hand and water it down then use a rag to put it on the wood bead.

[@cotatidiva]

What also works is watercolor or alcohol inks, or pastels.

[@traceyp8240]

@@cotatidiva I made some and I just stained the wood with a bit of stain on a rag. I stuck one of the wooden skewers through the hole and let it dry over a glass. They came out really well. I've sold 2 or 3 stained ones

[@thomasmathew4168]

Hello Mam, I like to do this curly hair style for my doll. Insted of putting the thread in the oven, do u know any other method for curling. Pls tell me. Waiting for ur reply. Thank u.

[@UntidyArtist]

Great question! Instead of putting them in the oven, you can always let them sit out for at least 24+ hours. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching.

[@thomasmathew4168]

When you say 200° do you mean celcius or farenheit? I naturally assumed C...but my hair burned quite quickly, I didn't think to even question this before hand, even though I thought that was quite a high temperature 🤦
