- 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 ^^

a tip for everyone trying this, use a cat brush with iron tips! it brushes it out really quickly!
"Hot glue will work..."-Things said seconds before disaster
hot glue actually worked for me, lol. It's a bit goopy, so you can only have it on the underside of the hair, but it worked out just fine even with that drawback. The wig may not be as strong, but it stays together.
Huh. When I brush out my acrylic yarn it like... all comes out. It doesnt just shed a little. I lose most of it all :/
Same problem :/ I gave up bc of that
Bassant yeah me too. I only use the yarn for curly hair, like just untwist them and voila, curls.
@@MsPoliteRants that's genius
same problem, kind of annoying!
try different type of yarn... I have the same problem but I remember I once tried it with something different and did hair extensions like 20cm long...
Her are my questions
1. What glue do you use for the wig cap
2. Does this work for all dolls
3. How are you so good at crafting
Thank you for explaining so clearly and simply all of the steps to follow. The result is super - I hope to get the same.
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.
It's been 2yrs... what happened with your mom doll? I hope she likes it!
@@63o479 The sculpture didn't turned out super realistic. If I have to be honest, it was a total failure, but we shared a good laugh about it. She gave me an "A" for effort xd. Thanks for bringing me back the good memories ^^. I end up giving her an extra painting of betta fish or something similar, I don't remember exactly.
your voice is so calm ... i made a doll wen i was so angry and then i fix'ed it wen i watch'ed this vid! thanks anyways
roses are red,
lavenders are blue,
i have a yarn,
but i have no doll...
yes
me toi
You could just make a wig and save it for when you have a doll.
if anyone is wondering, mod podge does not work well for this
NOOO REALLY 💔💔
The combing is the hardest part, it does take some time to get the wool really fluffy - or is it just me?
Yourt tutorial is very helfpful, thank you
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. :( I'm using 100% acrylic yarn with a metal toothed cat brush and am tapping, as per the video. My yarn never really gets that fluffy, it all just comes apart. Could this be a cheap yarn issue? And when I do gt it reasonably brushed out and iron it, it never STOPS coming apart!
Have you figured it out I'm having the same problem
I would love to see a Darculaura turn into Mavis from Hotel Transylvania.
Omg yaassss !
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 ^_^
totally awesome!! my cap moves around a lot so i like to put a straight pin on the top to stabilizes it. love your work!!
This was really helpful!!! Will definitely try it soon on my 2nd ever custom
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.
this is really useful! I was planning on making a custom doll for my friend, who has actually designed her own character. I already had the images drawn to show the clothes and hair, but I needed to make the hair. So I came here and it really helped me, I'm going to try and make the clothes as soon as possible, so I'm getting started on the wig first. I can't wait to see her reaction! If she likes it, I will guide her to your videos.
this is the easiest wig tutorial I have ever seen. working on a doll with a VERY small head, and she is ceramic and cant be rooted. No I can finally finish a doll I started a year ago!
Thas awesome!! Good luck with your doll!!
a curling iron works as well for those who dont have a flat iron
can you make a melanie martinez inspired doll
niko sousou dodi yes
niko sousou dodi YESSSS
niko sousou dodi YAASS
Your voice is so relaxing! The wig is beautiful! I love watching you making dolls' hair! 👱♀️👱♀️👱♀️
I had a doll when I was younger and I cutted it’s hair off so I’ll do this
*+akamerukawaii NO YOU WOULDN'T DO THAT TO DRACULARA!!!instead I'll give u my sister's bald doll instead so u can...improve it or fix it ^-^ btw I love your videos and crafts!^-^✌🍷♥♥♥🌈🐱👍*
Niceeee... Im gonna make that wig for my daugther's doll . Thanks a lot
PLEASE make a cancer themed doll. I know there are a LOT of kids, and adults, out there who have cancer. And I also think that you would make it look super cute and kawaii!
Also, I think it would make the kids that do have cancer, and watch that video, it'll make their day!
+Harley Quinn That's pretty insensitive to people that have cancer in my opinion, also how do you imagine that doll looking?
Imma use this information into my cosplay >:) muahahahahaa
Sugar Banda bruh same 😂
How are you going to use it?
I feel like this would also work really well for false eyelashes. Anyone tried it?
I can finally do this now that I have mod podge.
holly crap I was just about to throw out tuns of yarn now its actually useful
i'm just getting into doll customizing and this is very helpful, thank you :)
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!
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.
very interesting and informative who would think you could make hair from yarn
this is awesome, I can now use this for my sculpture work when I want to make my creations have something extra
oh my god that hair camE oUT beAUtifUL
This helped me a lot now I can start selling them to my friends
Isabell Simmons How much do you sell them for? XD
Linnea DJ So far I made 20 and I think I'll sell them for $2.00 Proably
Isabell Simmons Good luck to you with selling 'em! XD
Should I be able to use Modpodge/Elmers or to I have to use something like Tacky glue?
Ein Moon I would use elmers glue all, I think modpodge might be too thick for the wig cap. But it might be good for the wefts
love this video do you use the same glue to put the hair on the head?
That's so cool, thanks for the tutorial!
With a lot of patience and yarn, would this work for a wig for a person?
Mortician's Daughter yes, but only for short hair bc the sheep hair itself is rather short. There are videos of the process on TH-cam.
This is the best wig tutorial I have ever seen!
Can you please make a wig where you can actually put it over the dolls hair.
I'm happy to know that I don't have to use a pet brush for the wefts. I'm planning to use this for my first custom next month, hope it works out!
I'm doing my first custom and HER EYES LOOK TERRIBLE but I'm only 11 so like I don't really care I will try to cover it with make-up
What kind of glue do you use? i can't stop of stain my wigs with glue 😣
Try using tacky glue
mod podge works very well
She uses Pattex Original Wood Glue to glue the hair into strips and Aleene's Tacky Glue to glue the strips of hair to the wig cap.
Pulling the hair out is actually kinda relaxing and stress relieving... Idk why...
This tutorial was very helpful for me! I have been planning about making a wig for a doll, wich my liitle sister decided to cut the hair, like, 6 years ago? And I didn't find doll hair in a nearby craft shop, and I cannot buy it online. So, I am going to test this out!
This is so clever you make it look so easy so doable. Fantastic. Thank you.
this is one of the clearest videos I have seen on making a wig! This was most helpful Thank you. I always look forward to your videos. I learn alot from you.
hey can you do Princess Leia pretty cool can you do that please and thank you
Hello!
I dont know if the autor of this amazing video, or someone who reads this comment might help me. When I discovered this DIY video, I almost flipped with exitment to do this, so, I took some yarn I had in a materials bag and started to do the wig. BUT, I made some strings that ended up around... 30 cm, long, and when I was done with the fluffy hair like yarn, I had small 5 cm. long strings and a LOT of fluff. So I was like "Uhhh......"
The yarn I was using was not AS FLUFFY as the one from the video, is that why I ended up with that result? Do I need really fluffy yarn to make this beautiful tutorial work?
Lady0Grayson you dont need the same yarn. for the next time try to brush it more carefully, always starting from the bottom.
ronoc laguna Thanks, will do n__n
I´ll probably try again next weekend, lets see if everything goes better this time n__n
Can I use this yaen hair to make a wig for acual people (like doing the same thing but on a mannequin
matcharabbit Lol you can try, but it's gonna be a mess, and the whole process takes alot of time. It's better to get a cheap synthetic wig for it.
I've tried and if you wanted to make a short wig like boys hair that would work but it won't work for long hair because I find it just brakes off with long hair but idk maybe I just suck at it lol
This is awesome, is a really simple and nice tutorial!
How long do you wait for drying in between each section of hair you add?
Thankyou! I’m trying out mixed media art, and I wanted my mermaid to have ‘real’ hair, but wasn’t sure how to lay the yarn down to get something professional looking. I think your wefts will help me so much.
Ooh you should make kida from Atlantis
you can use the fluff for needle felting
My god! I was really thinking about what to do with all the FLOOFS I kept from making these wigs, that's a fantastic idea! do I know how to needle felt? NO, but hey, another thing to learn 8D! Thank you!
Tara O'Connell I wonder if you could use needle felt wool instead of the yarn, so you can skip the brushing step...?
Sophia Tran I guess you could but it would not be in even it wouldn't hurt to try though
Tara O'Connell I might try it, thanks! If it's successful I'll let you know!
Who watches these yet never will do these
Grace Frawley I want to do this but I got none of the materials 😂
you have the same straitner like me 😂😂
Your voice is like asmr
Absolutely wonderful, working on making one right now for my little sister's doll! Here's hoping it turns out well!
Rachel P How about if I did it but left it fluffly and used it as fur but on a fursuit head?
Ooh, that would be cool! Yeah, I think that would work.
Where did you find stretchy fabric?and what kind of glue did you use?
This was so helpful!! Thank you so much for the awesome video!!:)
Is it possible to put wigs on a doll that already has hair with multiple wig caps. Kinda like human wigs?
Probably but you'll have to mask the hair underneath by making the wig bigger and hair poofy
Can I make a partial wig? I only need a wig for the front for a Rupaul's Drag Race Kim Chi doll I'm working on.
musicboxcollector have you thought of filming the process and uploading it to youtube i would love to see it
I have regular yarn can I use that
gacha Len you can use regular yarn it dosent really matter
gacha Len thank you for your like
But you can't braid with this hair right?
Anyway the tutorial is really nice
Karthik Muppidi I guess you can
thank you for this video! I've always wondered how I could use my yarn to make doll wigs
Nice video, a few problems though. You never specify what kind of fabric can be used or how long it will take for the glue to dry. Otherwise good video :)
She doesn't need to say how long it takes for the glue to dry because people use different glues that dry at different times
Wow! I never tought that it can be this easy!
Thanks so much I'm doing a custom for my gf and she doesn't know
Aww so sweet! I hope she likes it!!
I just took yarn and cut it into even pieces and rooted the entire strands of yarn using a felt needle and then brushed it out
pile of salt will it look as good at it normally would look if you did te brushing before?
@@daand1112 I posted this comment with what I planned on doing, but I inserted the strands of yarn, separated them individually, and then straighten it. You could probably just do it by attaching it to a rod of some sort, and then separate the hair and straighten it. It looked just fine without brushing, but you can if you feel the need to. Hope this made sense? Also sorry for the long comment.
love this now I have another way to do hair for when I make my clothespin dolls hehe
Thank you this is very helpful, I just bought some doll making materials at Walmart, mostly for doll hair and painting. This is going to be fun!
To where is your accent from, im loving it!
i just have regular yarn can i use that
Precheen i have a dog brush but it don't. brush it out how do i do that
fnaf world you can try using a thin comb
Lina Ghoname ok thanks
Precheen ok
what tipe of glue do you used to put the wool on the head? Silicon?
Thaíssa Pyamu tacky glue I think
@@aphr0d oh, thanks
It is PVA glue. I use PH NEUTRAL PVA glue by "Books by Hand" its a tad bit pricey bit cheaper on Amazon. Or just use any PVA glue!😍
This is my second time making a wig and your tutorial helped alot thx ❤💚💜💙💛
@Everything TTM check mozekyto's channel. She has videos on making wigs with parts, ponytails, even cat ears.
would any type of fabric work for the wig cap?
Ik this is an old comment but I'd suggest asking some south asian friends for a spare scarf, our scarves tend to be very large and highly transparent
can I sugust you in a video when I make it
The best doll maker person ever!!!!!! :D
If you wanted to could you use the hair for re-rooting instead of a wig?
You can! There also are tutorials for that on TH-cam :)
Galaxy Monsterdoll alright! Thank you for answering! :D
wow
i love the idea ,but i suggest using a pet brush
What kind of glue can you use for this?
Nightly Awake regular elmers glue could work
Goodjob! And the idea of using draculara for the particular one! SHE REALLY IS STEALING MY HEART
Do u glue the cap to the head or use it as a regular wig cap.
Use it as a regular cap :)
Can do ever
Thank you
Did you have much shortening? I used a 40cm length and was left with 10cm, I used a dog comb as I saw in another yarn weft video so I think I'll have a try with a normal comb like you used here, is it always 100% acrylic yarn you should use? Thanks
Sarah Betts try brushing it more softly
Pls make one video on how to make my barber's shoes. Pls sis it's request.
can we use another glue like fevicol???????????????
Ashwini Methe I used fevicol
That is fantastic - definitely my favourite wig method so far! Looks really beautiful and realistic 👍😍
I'm just awestruck. Btw how do you not glue the wig cap on to the doll's head?
Amethyst Tonks. I think you just use plastic wrap then remove it the after the wefts are on the take out the plastc the put on the wig without plasicwrap. (Sorry if im bad explaining)
If you directly paste it on it will be permanent and using a cap if cap be more like a wig you can take it in and off
Can you use other yarns, or just acrylic yarn?
acrylic yarn works best, other yarns tend to fall apart over time
@@khrisdeltarune7040 Thanks
thank u for giving us idea about it
You are absolutely incredible at making dolls! I wish I had your talent😭
Mine ended up looking like whool. Does it supposed to be 100% acrylic?
Yes 💯%
@@harini5363 ohh k then
You need to iron it
How durable is this method long term??? Love your videos thanks hun
Clay Creations That's what I'm wondering.. I think you should just sew on the wefts. Gluing it is for decoration
Tysm :3
I'm making a lot of wigs now 😍💖💖💝💞
Que lindas quedan las monsterjais
that isn’t the original draculaura.. is it? if it is, yikes
I know you said that's basic but it's bloody brilliant!!!!
this is such a nice tutorial! never knew yarn's texture can be like this!!
