Sewn Doll Wig Tutorial How-To

[@Oceanblue_Art_]

If anyone here who's just starting out feels clueless just know that I'm a professional-ish doll artist who's been doing this for about eight years and I still come back to this video again and again because I'm still completely mystified by wig making.

[@Ritarelay]

I prefer a wigs 1. Because you can change the hair colour when ever you want 2. It's much easier to wash the hair if it gets mucky or dirty and you don't have to get your doll wet 3. It's a lot of fun to swap the hair from other doll to doll 😊

[@maeda439]

It is a WIG

[@evilagain4131]

Sushi Shay It is a fact people make mistakes, realize that yet?

[@leslieabla]

I was wondering if you didn't want too chop off your dolls hair, would their still be a way to use a wig?

[@MSHARLEYDWOKEAF]

@@leslieabla If the doll has straight long hair, I would part down the middle and make two braids, starting at the base of the neck. Tie them together using loose overhand knots all the way to the end and secure with rubberband. This will shorten the hair so you have more flexibility with length. Then make your wig to fit. If you want to make a short wig, swirl your doll's hair around the head and pin down or make a little tight fitting cap out of knee-hi stockings. Then make your wig. Have fun. ;)

[@leslieabla]

MsHarleyD Thanks so much!

[@Doglover-il2jr]

“Will work on any scale doll” So what your saying is....theoretically.... I could use this to make a wig for myself?

[@dollie8729]

Basically you can so yeah. You'd just need a mannequin head that is similar to your own head size I guess. Edit: I did this for a cosplay so like, do what you like cause ya special!✨

[@deannaz7243]

Btw, if you're making this to curl & style, don't use nylon. This will melt if it comes in contact with anything hot. Hope this helps!

[@Snap968]

This is the most comprehensive tutorial I've seen yet on how to make a sewn doll wig. Thank you so very much for being so thorough. It really helps even the bit at the end about styling and parting the hair, because let's face it, you go through all that hard work, get it to look reasonably good and then have absolutely no idea what to do with it or how to get it to look right afterwards!

[@Dollightful]

[@CornBeanSoup]

So this whole wig thing gave me an idea..... Could you do a tutorial on how to cover up all those holes so you could just have a bald doll without it looking weird? Maybe even do a cancer custom? My mom has cancer but she hasn't lost her hair beucase the chemo treatment actually almost killed her but she has lost quite a bit of hair. Dolls are supposed to be somewhat inspirational or an idol influencing ones life to young females (and males! 😉) like the Barbie! I think a Cancer inspired custom would be a great awareness and to show all those poor cancer patients that they are still beautiful and to not stress over their appearance! 😊 Hmm...... I don't know..... I'll let you decide and figure this out! It was just one of my ideas that I thought I would share! So.... yeah! Hope This comment will be seen, if not I'll just repost this on another video lol. XD

[@Here_for_the_Chaos_]

Walkercolours played around with this concept on one of her recent ancestry dolls, she used to to create a traditional African hairstyle. Check out her channel to see if how she did it would work for you. Best of luck love

[@chocohliccafequeen]

I think a coating of liquid latex mixed with the needed colors would do the trick. Could also possibly take the same material they make bald wig caps out of and then glue it down to the doll maybe? Haven't tried any of it myself yet

[@mandyhall9665]

CornBeanSoup great idea, I would love a bald doll

[@amymcdonnell5084]

I love how at the very end the doll on the right is guarding her wig like, "Mine! No one else can wear this!" You've seriously inspired me to eventually try my hand at doing some customs. I've done custom Funko Pop figures, but not dolls. One day I will be brave enough.

[@Dollightful]

Lol yes! She didn't appreciate me showing the world her bald head haha. I'm so happy to hear that! Custom Funko Pops sound cool :D Have fun!!

[@littlekellye_420]

Thank you so much! Tbh I'd rather sew it then glue everything like the wig cap and wefts and gluing the wefts on because I'm too impatient for it all to dry xD! It would take me about two weeks or so because everything takes so long to dry! This would maybe take a week or less depending on school work and everything! thank you again!

[@jjkitty6882]

littlekellye_ if you glue the wefts they will come out of the head and will not stay intact with the dolls cap and if the wig is in a hot space the glue will come off the cap or one day they will come off form the glue being old .

I like both. A downside of wigs is you can’t brush through them easily and an upside is they are easier than reroots and less expensive sometimes. Reroots are great and are fun to comb through, however the materials for reroots can be expensive sometimes.

Aha! Elastic... this is something I have been missing! I have just been making gauze and white glue caps but the elastic sounds like a really logical idea.... I should have thought of this!! Aha! This wigcap is totally different... I need to make some as I don't like glue on the wigs...or at least I haven't been happy with white glue or hot glue. This is why I thought sewing the wefts in was a better idea... thanks again ...well it's you that pulled me kicking and screaming, into the doll hobby... actually I can't thank you enough! Yes I do believe that this is the wig making style for me!

[@scythescythe884]

human hair extensions work as well if you want to recycle or save costs! sometimes they are made of high quality nylon and already come sewn into wefts... you can cut the wefts out, spread it out and cut them to length... use the cut offs to make shorter wefts for shorter wigs

[@lotuspu3]

Scythe Scythe great idea!!

[@BuggyPincers]

YES

[@noah60065]

Too poor for doll hair, cuts off own hair

[@haleyloe3941]

Or of they don't have those either but they have acrylic or nylon yarn they can make yarn wefts

[@sarcosmic6982]

If you want to do hair that goes away from the face (but could show the jagged ends of the lace), you should *try folding the excess lace back over the elastic* before sewing the layers together. This creates a simple hem, so when you fold the wig cap right side out, the messy ends of the lace are contained within the wig itself. 👌✨ (Note: I don't actually own BJDs, so I'm not sure how well that works in practice, but I *do* cosplay and make my own clothes/pillows/plushies so I've got some sewing experience, haha.) Btw, 10:22 was beautiful. haha. Bless.

[@elfenmagix8173]

If I knew this in the 90s, I would not shown and made my girls knit the hair back on the Barbies they cut the hair off! It takes the smallest knitting needles (2mm) to do this through the scalp pores of the doll. There are KZbin videos explaining how it is done. Your technique is how a real person's wig is made, BTW. Great work!

[@bias1789]

I can't be the only person who didn't know your main doll had a wig instead of being rerooted, right? Anyway, this tutorial is so helpful! Definitely going to be doing this

[@Dollightful]

Thank you Zombiecorn!

[@princess7strawberry]

Glad I found this tutorial, because most doll customizers I’ve seen make wefts or wigs using the glue method. I wonder if this is their preference because either it shows a more assessable method to their audience, and/or they hate sewing, etc. It really isn’t for me, but I thought it was the only method. As someone who’s picking up sewing by hand and by machine, this method is a lot easier for me. I’ll have to give this a try sometime!

[@No-ue5pi]

I think it's a few different factors. Most people who I've seen making glued wigs use acrylic yarn, which is a lot cheaper than true doll hair, and of course not everyone owns a sewing machine (though I'm sure you could hand sew the wefts too but it would be a lot slower) That's probably another reason why people like the glue method, it's quicker than sewing the wefts on.

[@lisawintler-cox1641]

This is from 2016 I know, but just in case people haven't thought of it, you could use water soluble stabilizer. It comes in sheets and is made to hold up to machine embroidery or appliqué and then rinsed out afterwards. It holds and reinforces the fabric in the hoop while the machine does its work and helps the stitchwork look nice and even .

Hi, I love your tutorials! I'm planning to make a Hatsune Miku miniature wig for my customized doll... Do you have an advise for making the pigtails? Thank you!

[@Dollightful]

Hmmm.. the trick would be having lots of hair down her part so that the pigtails look correct. You might have to sew on the wefts in stripes from the crown of her head rather than a spiral... I'd have to think about it, haha!

[@apprentie_costumiere]

That sound great. I think about doing the wig very short, and leave a space on each side where the pigtails will be, then make a fringe for the front. And finally, sewing on pigtails after making them with the technique you use to complete the spiral in your tutorial... ?

[@Dollightful]

Dollightful! I need your advice! You are my go-to gal when I have doll-decor problems. So I am thinking of giving this doll I bought at the flea-market some highlights, just to make her more unique and fun. But I am not sure if sharpie is the best way to go. I know it's kinda the cheap rout. I've tried it on some other dolls and so far so good. The hairstyle I have planned for this doll will be permanent so I won't be brushing her much which will likely avoid any ink coming off (if it does), but still tell me your experience on dying doll hair and what do you recommend. It would mean so much if you could replay. Have a great day!! :D

[@senpaiproductions2102]

Yeah, you can, but I found that it takes a long time and you can only use certain types of hair, but you could go to a thrift shop or a hair store and get ‘real’ hair that would be normally used for extensions. When I used that kind of hair it really worked. I didn’t do a full scale adult sized wig, just a cold sized wig, but it was worth it. I suggest you try it! It’s satisfying like rug hooking!

Okay, thx for getting back to me. I was just wondering because I wanna try making over an old doll I have, but I don't have a machine.

[@redmarilynn]

Aw... Absolutely stunning. You have made her look so gorgeous. Thank you so much x

[@dianaabarca3781]

I am curious, what uses more hair, a wig or rerooting? I just started doll customizing and I like the idea of swapping hair, but my wallet screams.

[@ashedrivers6482]

Diana Abarca Im pretty sure rerooting takes way more hair than a wig

[@sleepieziez]

I'm making a real wig, for like people, I'm thinking I'm gonna use this as a base to make them, lets hope this goes well-

[@nolasgotnoodlearms435]

How did it go???

[@sleepieziez]

@@nolasgotnoodlearms435 really well, it took a long time but im glad i did it

[@sam-the_royal]

[@nessaairene]

I know I am * TOO LAZY* to make any doll I watch her make but I find the creation part of the doll and the finished photos really cool 😊

[@rawr2219]

Thank you very much Messiah!

[@naomijones9301]

your welcome and can you tell me how to get a youtube account so I could make videos too.

[@naomijones9301]

Hey! dollightful can tell me when your video is and tell me the name of it so you can give me a shout out because I'm such a fan of you good work I wish I was good as you.

[@Dollightful]

Messiah Jones Thanks for watching!! :D I'm sorry, but I decided not to do shout-outs. I love all you guys and can't pick just one or-two to feature!!

[@eliayadavis3035]

[@redpearlprincess4259]

I will never be able to unsee mini Katherine with that colorful hair! I had no idea she had a wig instead of a reroot! And good, your cat lays that way too. I was concerned about mine.

[@lemonadespider]

Do you find it quicker/easier to make wigs like this or reroot?

[@Dollightful]

Hmm... now that I think about it, I'd say the time it takes is about equal. If you purchase the hair as wefts, though, I'd say the wig is faster. :D

[@lovemileyxox]

Dollightful what if u don't have any special doll hair, and if ur trying to make one 4 an lps?

[@ashleystewart3319]

love the wig

[@amiyahcorey4154]

[@planetvnus]

I like the wig because you can switch it out and make another one

[@echobot1098]

Can i use this method but all in hand and needle... no sewing machine?

[@kairon156]

I Haven't gotten into BJD stuff other than watching videos like these but I think going the wig route would be my personal choice. I do enjoy seeing reroots and the gluing process in videos.

[@myoweii]

The wig looks like Stocking from Panty & Stocking

[@lookapuddle720]

[@asianspaceboy8337]

I tried this method with yarn and it worked wonders! 10/10 would recommend

[@catoutthehat]

Does anyone know if this works for human sized wigs?? I wanna get into cosplay but I’m broke lol

[@garfieldweezermug4975]

I think it probably will it might just take more time

[@butterflydustdezignz]

Huh yass this is going in my hair playlist, for grown-ups 🤗

[@pbonnie6051]

Omg, i used to watch you a lot before, i kinda got into other things and now i'm cosplaying and stuff, was looking how yo make wig wiffs and clicked on your video- when i heard the "añang !" I just blovked and gradually got happier while watching the video ! ^°^

[@kayleyhall773]

Can you do this with combed out yarn too??

[@keswong4204]

yeah! It should work, although yarn wefts (I promise I know what you're talking about xD) do tend to be a little less strong. 4 months late, but I hope this helps!

[@keswong4204]

who said it looks like clown hair?@Gay

[@a.abarker8387]

@Taylor combed out yarn looks like hair, dolllightful has used this alot actually

These videos are awesome. I love your videos, it makes me smile when I see the notification for it, even if I am in school when I get it. Keep up the good work!

[@springburst126]

This could also just make a shower cap

[@gabrielmorales402]

i did this with a rea wig, i regret NOTHING!

[@kazi_blu]

Wow 😁! I'll try that too!

[@alison4316]

I don't know how I found you, but I'm so glad I did. I'm, technically, an adult... But I started collecting dolls several years ago...I currently collect ball jointed dolls (mainly Fairyland). I've always wanted to try to make a wig for one of my girls 😏 Thank you!

[@tamarahofbauer6862]

Could the wig be made for an 18" doll?

[@emmadoodle4083]

Yes, but it may take FOREVER

[@ajbutworse]

Me: Man, I’d never have the patience to make that! Video: I think it’s my best wig yet! Me: Wait...she’s made more than one..... *Ded*

[@donutsenpai_lives9386]

The intro when u say unyun it’s so cute bc your cold made it sound so cute and squeaky

[@nadialucia6647]

I love your commentary :,D and OH MY GOD YOUR CAT AHAHAHAH

[@wasteland_works]

This could eather be twilight sparkle's or stocking's hair

[@crustaceanking3904]

Vosina twilight sparkle’s hair would be more purple than this wig

[@sebastianmichaelisbutinmsp6490]

Vosina stocking's hair is a bit darker

[@EmilyGDesign]

I was NOT ready to see mini Katherine wearing that wig! Also, I didn't know what she normally wore was a wig; well done!

[@blackpearlanimations2852]

I have almost all the supplies for this *EXCEPT THE DOLL*

[@mimimom1237]

hit up Goodwill or resale shops, we have found almost all our project dolls there for just 2.00 or less. :)
