I was about to drop 50+ on some faux fur for a costume. Thankfully now I can just utilize all my leftover yarn. You saved me a lot of money and tears, thanks!
Haha, when the dog butted in to get some love, that was adorable. xD
hehe :p
I don't even need to make this I was curious what it was. Once I started I couldn't stop watching. You are great at explaining and are very enjoyable to watch!!
lol, thank you Nerissa! I am glad you enjoyed watching!
Haha same! I too was curious! ! Very nice video and explanation :)👍
Me too. You have a really pretty smile.
Nerissa L
Same here! Well done video with such a beautiful smile. Very delightful to watch!
Yvonne Williams I'm fascinated, but confused... What is the thing that you are making???
You’re perfect, you don’t need any music. Bless you
Yavonne, this video came up while I was searching for ways to crochet fur. I overlooked it about 5 times and finally just watched it and this is going to be SO MUCH BETTER!! My daughter is in 3d grade and making a Valentine's day box for her class party. She just learned that they're picking a winner for the best box! So she came up with the idea of doing a unicorn box ! She is going to use origami to build the horn and wings (Yes, I know unicorns don't have wing's but she insists on wings), but we needed new a good way to cover the body with fur and THIS IS IT!!!! I'll have her use a hole punch on the cardboard box and pull the yarn through those holes to cover the entire body. I'm so excited! She'll have a blast! I'll post pics when she's done. Wish her luck!!!
@Lisa. You are right, by the way, how are you? looking forward for your reply.
I was watching this and remembering a "fur yarn" Cheshire Cat scarf hoodie I had crocheted that had tragically FELTED in the wash! Your technique of straightening the fibers may SAVE my favorite project by UN-Felting it! I'm going to go buy a carding brush and a flat iron! Thanks so much!
ooo, let me know how that works out for you!
Those faux fur mats always get messed up in the wash. When I had a pet grooming salon someone brought in one of those for us to wash. That's when I first realized I could treat it like actual fur on a pet. So I washed, shampooed, blow dried it and used a pet brush. It came out beautifully!!
DID IT WORK LOL
I really so this thorough tutorial. And I really like the little moments where you smile at the camera as you talk. You are just the most charming person. It was easy to follow along because you are just so enjoyable.
I'm not feeling well and this video was soothing. Thank you for brightening my day!
Love this idea! I actually use all my tails of yarn after I crochet and brush them out with 2 pet brushes and respin it into new yarn!
how cool!
Isn't this amazing? During all the years I've been a yarn crafter and watched a bazillion yarn related tutorials, I've seen plenty of people spin yarn from "fur" or roving. But until now I've never anyone do the opposite - unyarning! It lends an awesome effect and would be great for so many different projects. Thanks for showing this!
nice way to put it lol ''un-yarn the yarn''
hehe, I'm glad you like that!
I love the way you speak. Its very clear and not a lot of stuttery breaks and ums and ahs. Makes it very easy and pleasurable to listen to.
Why am I watching this? I don't even own yarn or need furr... I got my cat 😀
Petra Ražov you're funny
Lol
Lool
I don’t have a cat but I have two dogs, and they shed like crazy. I could probably make a sweater out of all the fur they’ve shed over the years 😂
Petra, lol!
I'm making a Halloween costume for my little brother, and this is going to be a big help! (He wants to be a fox)
right on!! Halloween is gonna be here before we know it!!
Hes a furry lol
@Solaria peep r/whoosh calm down fool
@Solaria peep its okay ❤
What is he a fucking furry?
I love that Yvonne I'm going to try it on the edge of a blanket as soon as my broken shoulder heals in 6 weeks😞
Coleen Taylor how is your shoulder doing?
Coleen Taylor yeah how is your shoulder doing???
Coleen Taylor how is your shoulder doing XD
Coleen Taylor how is your shoulder? my nosy ass wants to know.....tell us
LillipopWolf he posted it 11 months ago... it's should be healded XD
I know I am late to the party, but WOW. I have made a tail from braided yarn but had no idea how to attach it to cloth. This is perfect for making custom sections of faux fur for my clothing designs!! Thank you so much!!! ❤❤❤❤
3:09 dangit it's a ghost
lol, I wish the ghost would clean the house or pay rent.
@@backtoearthcreations 😂
Awww, puppy wanted some brushing. He says "Mom, give me my brush back.!" 😊
lol, right?!
Thank you so much for this! And the idea to use the extra "fluff" stuff in the brush to make polyfill? GENIUS!
Thanks for sharing! It's God's gift and blessing when I'm trying to make faux fur! It's so well done!
Oh Yvonne! I needed this for a rocking horse I'm working on!
BLESS YOU! This was exactly what I was looking for and WAAAY cheaper than faux fur. Thank you for this tutorial💚
I LOBE YOUR DOG SOOOO CUTE 🐶
:-D
Aphmau fan besties OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I typed in the search “how to make faux fur” and you did not disappoint. This is perfect. Thank you!!!
Thanks!!! Great way to save money-now I can add fur to my polymer figures without going broke! Lol! ❤️
lol, yay!!
This is exactly what I was looking for to make my gnome beards . Thank you .
wowwwwwwww ...i was working on how to make fur by yourself and landed up on this amazing video. Thank you..
wow, thank you! I hope it was helpful to you!
Yvonne Williams what is the substitute for that tool that make the yarn fluffy?
This answered so many questions for me and you did such a great job explaining! And yes I agree I love your happy smile! Thank you!
Everyone's talking about the music and I didn't even realize that there was a background and that I was jamming to it. 😂
It's kinda annoying me tbh
I was grooving too! Lmao 🤣
Very distracting
I thought it was raining outside lol
That's pretty cool! I like how detailed you are with your instructions. Your video for the chainmail bra is great! I've been looking for a tutorial on that for awhile and stumbled across it a few weeks ago.
Matt Courty hey! I'm glad I can be helpful :) thank you for watching!
I love to make crochet dolls. This is gonna work perfectly for their hair.
Right on!!!
Ruby White i was thinking the same thing! i see a lot of cute dolls with hair this xmas 😍😙🙏
I'm using it to make thing 1 and thing 2 wig hats for my kiddos
Awe cute I wish I was talented enough to do that
@@ripperbasil1229 you can do it
For anyone wanting to get a brush, its called a slicker brush :)
Yvonne I love your videos and have been watching a few a day. All crafts I had a go at and then moved on as I just like to know I can do things. I wish Australia had a bigger con culture but sadly we only have a few a year.
Thanks! Love your attention to detail and just where your mind goes naturally. Time to time I've messed about w/pulling a brush through loose sections of yarn in my freeform crochet projects, but never thought to inject heat into the equation.
I just found your videos. You do the coolest things. Can't wait to try some of the nifty tricks you show.
hehe, thanks! let me know if you have any questions :)
Yvonne Williams Hello Yvonne! What do you call the thing that you are making that you're attaching the fur to?? It's like nothing I have ever seen before!
Absolutely loves your videos...very informative and loves the fact you talk everybody through the project..the music in this one video is annoying and wish you would not have used it. Wanted you to know that your one of the very best "How to videos" on TH-cam and loves your crafts...thank you tons and tons....
Thanks, Ron, I am glad you like my work. I am still learning all the time how to make my videos better and some of my experiments with music and editing were not successful. Thanks for your input and for watching!
fake ron Weasley u r not the real ron weasly!!! ron doesn't know how to use muggle stuff!!!and you don't even have a picture of u.!!!!!
Look pretty fake, sound pretty selfish...
Ever heard of EpicFantasy?
Yvonne Williams Loved this video, I think if you found a way to turn down the music volume by one bar and the beat by .25 beats per minute it would complement your natural style. I have never seen a better instructed presentation - well done. Thank you for the hard work and your time. P.s. Subscribed today.
I agree! The music was hurting my head because I was trying to listen and learn. Some soft instrumental music (Celtic, maybe?) would have been really complimentary. 😊
This is the most helpful thing I have ever seen! Sometimes you need a fur look and can’t find the color you need anywhere so this is a great way to work around that. I love it
Your dog has such pretty fur patterns!!
thumb up for the dog head kisses. Interesting video thank you for sharing your technique.
Hehe, thanks Jennifer! It is my pleasure :)
On more idea. You could sell premade sections to others to use in their cosplay or crafting projects. The profit margin would be huge. And wouldn't those make awesome Pom poms for those keychains I am always seeing. Geesh, I would buy the "homemade fiberfill" too for projects
lol, very good ideas!
This was so insanely helpful! You're a great teacher.
You are a dynamic teacher and an incredible artist. I'm in awe. Thanks, 1926lady
You did an amazing job explaining the process and that looks super cute. Also your dog is adorable!!!
This will be a whole lot cheaper than just buying fur for my fursuit! Thank you so much! Your a life saver!! ♡
Yay! I am glad to be helpful!
MAnnnn!! So cool. You could get like 10 different colors of brown, black, or blonde and really make it look like regular fur with different color tones. Such a cool demo.
Thankyou Yvonne for sharing your wonderful talent with me,im making a large gnome out of a very large detergent bottle,and was stuck wondering how to make a beard for him,as we are in lockdown due to covid here in Newport, South Wales, UK, and I'm using up my scraps of material and wadding to fatten up his tummy,I have a few balls of wool and couldn't work out how to make the beard,until I come across your very helpful video! I love love love your beautiful dog,we have a golden retriever called Rosie, who also loves to walk in to make sure I'm ok when I'm crafting and to have a hug and a kiss too!I've subscribed to hopefully learn a lot more, you're a very talented lady and have a lovely way of teaching us all,I'll definitely be back soon!love and hugs from over the pond!xxx
Very well done tutorial! That bracer is going to rock!
Thank you, Laura!
This is so cool! I'm going to use your method for a centaur costume if it doesn't take years to make that much fur lol
lol, that sounds like it would be time consuming but amazing!
I've just started doing crocheted amigurumis and was checking out how to do felting on crochet when I discovered your video! THANK YOU SO MUCH for this and your fantastic tutorial! It's great to know that I can do this with acrylic yarn, especially RedHart!
Yvonne, I have never, in 5 years of watching TH-cam, ever left a comment. But I HAVE to tell you that your instruction was great! Thank you!
I'm seriously so happy I found you! Your work is absolutely stunning
I made a fursuit skull foam head and I ordered fur but it has not come so thanks to you I can finish it! Tysm!!!
Yay! I would love to see what you make!
Neat idea. Who knew yarn could turn out so shiny. Thanks for the great video.
You are so genuine, and cute. Charming in a shy way. Thank you for the tips.
*sees thumbnail*
me: alright i think i get it know
lol, I tried to make the thumbnail be pretty explanatory :p
Yvonne Williams Honestly it was great. I’d rather see that than clickbait. Also I still watched the video anyway to make sure I did it correctly lol.
Have you tried a latch crochet hook?
You can use it to pass the yarn through the leather and the yarn through the yarn. You would only need one tool and the scrap wire wouldn't break all the time. Just a proposal 😉
Hey, Sindy! I haven't, but that is a really great idea! Thank you for the suggestion!
Thank you for sharing! Loving this idea
Loved this video and the tip you shared to use the fibers in the brush as polyfill.
Since it's plastic. The yarn. You can use a clothes steamer. smoother it after brushing.
Very good idea!
Acrylic yarn burns and turns into this icky hard plastic mess when heat is applied to it you habe to be careful of how hot the tools you use on it are lol.
Yvonne Williams
Lump call
Cool
I'm using the fur to make a fox tail!! XD
Right on!
PikaGamer XD SAME girl
Same!!!!! :D
Me too
Yvonne Williams Sameee!!
Brilliant! Definitely going to try this; thank you for sharing this technique.
So much i love about this video!Love using the hair straightener... so many craft uses!! You could also reuse the extra for needle felting as well. Thanks for the great tutorial.
This is inspiring me to make a plush 😄
Vibluu exactly what I have in mind too! 😀
Omg I could make those and selk them at my summer fete!!
Now I wanna do a unicorn cosplay
yass!!!
Can I join
That's why I'm here lol. Well, not cosplay but a unicorn Halloween costume.
Really fun and beautiful project....I love this idea.
Just one thing I noticed as a professional seamstress......because you have knotted it off, you can retread your last binding off string and feed it back through the material to the front side and have all your fibers together for a more finished and polished look....that or weave it through the knotted side to polish off the work, and really secure the bind off. Other than that.....it's really great work and a very fine finished look! I think I will use your hair straightener idea on some of my older fur cowls and bring them back to glory......happy crafting!
Very cute. This is what I like to call your angry or warrior music in the background, love the whole "preparing for battle sound!" Loved the video also, thanks.
Yay i can make me a fox tail and ears! :D thank you
hehe, yarp!
So much talent. Love this
wow, thank you Kerry!
Some 30 yrs ago, I had made my son a lion halloween costume. I had made the costume itself in fleece and threaded through the hood lenghts of acrylic yarn, then untwisted it and brushed it. I had made the ears with suede. And painted his face with an elaborate lion pattern. Needless to say, it was a big hit. The school even asked me to replicate the makeup for a show they had at school. And there was my son, opening the parade with his costume and makeup. He was so proud! And so was I.
I also used this technique to make a cushion. Worked great!
I am making troll cutout for a friend and I needed to find a way to make the hair and felt like I completely wasted yarn, I'm so THRILLED I came across this video. Very easy to understand, great to watch and ur smile reassures that it's so easy anyone can do it. Thank for making this video!!!
I need this for my fursuit
Right on!
Omg thank you so much! I was looking for a video like this
Yay! I am glad to be helpful to you!
Yvonne Williams Don't mention it ;)
I've just seen all your crafts and they are BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!
What a fabulous idea. The music isn't that annoying. Also you have a very nice smile
Thank you so much! I want to make some cat ears (Cheshire Cat outfit) and I don't have to money to get actual fur 😂😩
ooo, hopefully this will work out for you!!
Yvonne Williams Thank you!
Neck Deep Jay I'm trying to make ears, too
Neck Deep Jay yeah Same xD I'll also use it for Cheshire cat (but mine is Cheshire cat from Pandora hearts)
Neck Deep Jay I actually braided a lot of yarn together like a rope, then tied in some bunches of purple and black yarn and brushed those out for my Cheshire Cat cosplay a couple years ago. It took a while to do, but then I laced in some small LEDs on the little string with the battery pack, so I had a light up tail. I put a carabiner clip at the top and wore it attached to my skirt, where it clips into the belt loop then the battery and switch go in the pocket. It was super fun to do, and was a great hit at the conventions I go to :)
I guess for longer fur would you ... use a wider tube??? I'm making a creature with different lengths of fur. Thick and longer around neck and tail... I'm interested.
Hey, Jennifer! I have found that with the yarn fur it is limited by the weft of the yarn (if that is the right term....) the fibers the yarn is spun from are only so long, and that limits how long the final fur can be. For longer fur I would experiment with cutting the yarn long and only brush out the last 3 inches of it, if that makes sense :)
Jennifer Gordon oof hi
Jennafer Gordon HEY! I love your name ha! Lol...
Yvonne Williams I just realized that I in fact have seen your videos. It was nice to meet you at Graceland. My husband sculpted the female Predator.
You do absolutely amazing work.
The pvc idea is ingenious!
I had to try this with my crochet ponies. And the result was perfect! It moves like real hair and is so soft and amazing!
I’m gonna use this technique to make fursuit tails to sell on Etsy! I really need the money tbh 😔
Probably a dumb question, but you know the pom pom rugs everyone is making? Could you use this technique on that as well of you wanted to have a "fur" rug with the legit fur? I hope that makes sense
hmm, maybe! I think you would have more luck with a latch stitch style base and just adding a bunch of yarn to that and brushing it out :)
I think if you cut a latch hook backing into a 'hide' shape, then used natural colored yarns to make the animal pattern, it would come out great!
Really nice and thorough tutorial. I especially all the different angles you used to show step by step. I’m still wondering if I would be able to use this technique to make a faux fur Pom Pom.
Nicely done! Perfect explanation. Plus, this girl is adorable AND she loves her doggy❤️
Incredible! Who knew yarn would go back to it's original state as hair! WOW! You are so talented and explain everything very well!
I'm gonna try this yarn to fur method in order to cover a whole outfit in fur, I'll update when i get it finished.
Hope it comes out great
my thoughts are with you; it can be daunting, but I think that will come out awesome! please do keep me updated :)
Yvonne Williams I've been experimenting with the yarn and it's coming out perfect. My plan is to make bundles of fur and then add them to the outfit somehow
How did it go
This video is so great, thank you for sharing Yvonne! I spent a fortune on craft fur making Christmas gnomes last year and figured there had to be a way to make my own. Thank goodness for TH-cam and more importantly you for making the best instructional video I could find on the topic! If i want to pre-make beards for my gnomes, do you have any good suggestions on what I could use to attach the yarn to instead of leather? TIA for your reply. :)
I'm a little late but this is such a great idea. I plan on doing this for gnome beards also. My gnomes are small so it should be pretty easy but I'm going to sew (by machine) the yarn onto grosgrain ribbon, brush out the yarn and glue the beard to the body of the gnome before I add the hat. That way, the ribbon and top of the beard will be hidden. Yvonne's method of preparing the yarn is genius and I'm going to do the same thing, also doubling it like she did. I can make the ribbon as long as I like and the yarn as full as I like. Grosgrain ribbon is sturdy but not bulky and should hold up to the tension of brushing the yarn. Just support the yarn and the ribbon when brushing out the yarn. If you've made some beards, I'd love to hear what you came up with to make your gnome beards.
I had learned a little bit about this awhile back from a friend (who made tails for people in school when it was still super popular). I learned a few really good tips, tricks, and ideas here, which is great! I was trying to find an easy way to attach faux fur made of yarn to some pants, as I'm going to be a satyr for Halloween this year (2018). I love that you just punched holes into your material and how you kept them in by just using another piece of yarn! it makes things so easy, and I don't know why I didn't think of it. also, I love the straightener idea! my friend had never used one, as people liked when the tails were fluffier, but I was looking for a different look.
That is so neat! I now want to add this faux fur to all my projects!
what can i do with the fuzzy yarn left over from the brush? no matter how I brush the yarn it all comes off on the brush so could I make a fur rug from that? I just hate to waste it!
Hey, Alyssa! It makes a great stuffing for plushies, pillows, and things like that. I use it as a replacement for polyfill.
alyssa smithh you can also make birds nest and leave them in trees
Kawaii Generous, lovely sentiment! 😄 Only problem is, the plastic never breaks down so it just becomes pollution and can kill an animal or bird who gets tangled up in some or eats any of it. 😒
It's safer in pillows!
great video! is there a way to make pom poms doing this? thanks!
Thank you! I am not sure; I have never made any pompoms, but I sure it is worth experimenting with! :)
This is basically the same technique I use to make "fur" wigs for my BJD's. I just use tiny bundles of yarn, sew them onto the "cap" I made *usually out of fabric*, and then just brush the yarn out until the fibers separate nicely.
Great to know. I will try on gloves too! Ty.
Absolutely brilliant idea!
can u do it with a grooming brush?
hmm, it might be worth trying! :)
Yvonne. You're freaking brilliant. And so generous to share your tips and knowledge. I can't wait to show my daughter this video... she's going to flip out with happiness and creative possibilities! Thank you so much for being you!
I actually braided a lot of yarn together like a rope, then tied in some bunches of purple and black yarn and brushed those out for my Cheshire Cat cosplay a couple years ago. It took a while to do, but then I laced in some small LEDs on the little string with the battery pack, so I had a light up tail.

It was super fun to do, and was a great hit at the conventions I go to :)
Thank you, loved the fur making tutorial. I love your vlogs❤️🐾
That would make really great doll hair
Thats a great idea!
I want to see what u did with this!!! I cant find in ur vids. Did u make a unicorn cosplay outfit ?
I hope this link works! Here is a picture of the final costume: instagram.com/p/BXeBuR4BwqP/?taken-by=back_to_earth_creations Not quite unicorn, but the color scheme could have worked for that!
your costume was amazing!!! wow, what a great job you did and thanks so much for making this video!
Damn you are over the top creative! U need to be on costume sets in Hollywood! Ur so gifted creative!
Such shiny furs 😍 beautiful work!!!
Hi Yvonne, I have just watched you making fur out of yarn and i have to tell you for a person like myself who has very little in the way of budget and tons of wool laying around this is pardon my English, Bloody brilliant. I can do the same thing on a fabric stiffener and thread it through there to give me the same effect. I am so glad i stumbled upon you this year its amazing as a crafter how much more i have learned just from watching you craft your magic. Thank you so so very much. i am blown away by the wool to fur magic. Faux fur is so bloody expensive to buy and when you only need a little bit of fur it makes no sense for me to buy a meter of fur for 6 inches of fur on a doll outfit. Thanks again Yvonne you rock girly thank you. Every time i watch you i learn something new. I am totally gob smacked.
can u do it with wool?
Hey, Nedrah! I imagine you can, but I haven't done it so I don't know what differences there might be. If you try it would, I would love to hear how it goes!
Should work with wool. Final "fur" length would depend on the staple of the wool used in your yarn and can vary widely among different sheep breeds : )
Do you know where I can get a cheap pet brush
do you have a walmart where you are? or a dollar store?
Yvonne Williams will a really small pet brush work
You can try thrift store or a dollar store. You can find a new one (or used) for $1 frequently.
Kitten Lover
I got a small cat brush at Pet Smart for 3 bucks that works well, and my cat loves it too. I later got a brush that you can push out the fur (quite helpful when it comes to filling a brush like this with yarn) for 7 dollars at K Mart. I later saw large ones that don't push for 5 dollars at Safeway. So just look around, you can find a pretty cheap one.
any walmart
Wow!! I never would have thought of using yarn!!
Thank you Yvonne. I am now going to make the fur for my Gnomes and also for other projects
