How to Make a Doll Wig | Making Yarn Wefts | Mozekyto 

Doll customs are just a mix of easy tasks that combine to make your life hell

Oh my gosh!! I had no idea you could do this with yarn. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I cannot wait to try this now!!! So fluffy!!

Tip - Thicker and bulkier yarn unravels much easier, and there's less effort needed to make it into usable doll hair floof. That's something i've noticed while trying out different yarns :3

For those without a straightener, or simply looking for silkier, smoother results; use fabric softener or conditioner mixed with boiling hot water! Let it soak for 5 minutes then hang it up to dry. After, brush it using a fine-toothed comb. Hope this helps!

Instead of using a hair straightener, you can pour hot water over the wefts and then brush them again. This worked for me, anyway.

1. You absolutely do not need that mesh thing, just tie it down the same way around basically anything: barbecue sticks, pencils, knitting needles etc, etc... 2. The length of the weft is limited to the length of the yarns fibers (yarns are made when spinning the ends of the fibers together, when you brush it you will break the fibers apart again as they're not really 'attached' to each other, other than being tightly spun). You can actually collect the fluff when you're done, just hold it down with a finger and brush that out and continually adding the new fluff of the brush to this new weft! With enough patience there will be basically no excess left. 3. Straightening is also possible in a thousand different ways, as many people have commented just pour hot water on them then brush again, you can iron them on a low setting, heck you can probably just rinse them in cold water, brush flat and then put something heavy on top like a stack of books and leave over night, get creative!

oh my gosh i didn't know you could make such beautiful doll hair out of yarn

This isnt only awesome for dolls, but to make your own wigs aswell! Ofcourse it will take a long period of time an effort, but I think it will be worth it in the end. also it will be styleable to your wish and look kinda more natural then synthetic wighair ♡

Sooooo anyone else think this was oddly satisfying or was it just me?

Hey guys! I know I'm not Mozekyto, but it seems like a lot of people are asking about an alternative to the mesh material, so I thought I'd try and help! Try using the tray that you put cookies on to cool, and it should work just the same!

HEADS UP YOU CAN USE A FLY SWATTER WITH BIG ENOUGH HOLES INSTEAD OF THAT GREEN THING!!? *WELCOME GUYS!!*

This is super helpful for the people who don't have the funds to buy alpaca wool (fur? Idk)

One day, when this channel grows, i will be here, being glad i am one of the first 300 subs

FINALLY! An easy to find doll hair that looks realistic. No nylon, no alpaca fiber.. a simple yarn. Thank you SOO MUCH for sharing this!

Thank you for this video! I've always wanted to make a custom Ever After/ Monster High, but I was always too afraid to order all of the hair, rerooting tools, pliers, etc. This is an awesome alternative for people like me who are just starting out! Keep up the great work! I subbed. :) ♡

Me: why do I have a shoebox of yarn Grandmaw:Because you have nothing beter to do with your life Me:Why is that true

it seems no matter how gentle I brush with a pet hit hair brush, it destroys the yarn. yes Im using 100 percent acrylic yarn. I followed spot on from direction to how the visual is. it just not working for me.

My straightener doesn't have an actual temperature setting so I spent a whole night trying to find the sweet spot to straighten the wefts. On a scale of 1-20, its a 15. Also, the single row wire brushes don't work that well. I would go with the one she is actually using.

Finally used this tutorial to get around to making my own wig for my bjd. Ran into a few snags but thanks to yhe bjd groups I'm in I've moved past and I'm ready to cut the yarn to glue wefts. Now to watch one of your wig videos again to choose thr style I want and make it for Miu

I'm thinking of using this tech nice to make some fur for ears instead of buying it. I've worked with yarn a lot and honestly this was so easy to follow and I just really wanna try it out. It's so cool and you're so amazing at this! I mean even just your technique is good. So yeah. This is amazing.

Thank you so much for this yarn wig series. Yarn is so much cheaper than actual synthetic hair (at least in Poland) and looks so awesome! Please make more videos about customizing dolls

help....every time I tried to do this the yarn ended up to break ar the midle and the usable part it was way to short, what can i do

WOW! That was amazing! You totally deserve more subs! I'm so glad that I found your channel, thanks to Dollightful. You are so creative! Just subscribed :)

omg !! im so glad that i found this channel!! you really changed my life and make me really want to become a doll designer more and do these with the wigs ! i really hope you make more vids your the best !! thank you very much!

Wow, this is amazing. I could really do this but I don't have a straightener.

I don't know why, but I find this video really soothing to watch.

You have totally expanded my horizons in OOAK doll making. From the heart...thank you!

I know it's going to be hard but I'm aiming for a human wig. Gotta make one asap for our school karaoke party which I'm supposed to be Sia. Thank you a looottt

I wonder if you could make a human wig like this 🤔

Wow the possibilities in color combinations are endless. Thank you 👍🏽👏🏽🤗

Wow! I've been watching all the doll customizers on YT use this method and I didn't realize it was so easy! This is awesome!!

Love this! I see you recently just started this channel. I can not wait to see what other videos you make!

This tutorial is AMAZING. Currently trying it with a pastel colored yarn, and the results are coming along wonderfully. I'm trying to make some other wefts as well, but I'm having some issues with those. For some reason, whenever my strings are longer than the one I was using for the other ones, they end up practically shredding, knotting, and getting ripped apart. And this is being VERY gentle with them. They shrink to at least a third of their size. Any recommendations? :( I want to make a pretty long wig

I personaly like this more than rerooting doll hair! Its so much easier and FLUFFIERRR

Merci. J'adore vos vidéos. C'est clair, sans blabla inutiles et le résultat est magnifique.

Can you sew through the glued parts, or is it too hard? You could easily make full size wig wefts like that...

So helpful to people like me who don't like to re root a dolls hair 😍💙

Comes in very handy for my crochet goodies with hair😊 I used a very similar technique for my crazy-haired purple Minion I made 2 years ago. Only, I brushed out the yarn when it was attached to the Minion's head and I didn't use a straightener, but it came out beautifully and soft and wild and fluffy 😄 Thank you for the tutorial 👍😎

you have no idea how happy I am to have found this. ^^ this will go a long way.

Instead of pillow fluff, is it also possible to needle felt with it? It looks like felting wool

iv been trying this for a couple of days and cant get them as straight and silky as yours :S i tried making them really long as well and all the wefts end up the same length 11cm

Has anyone noticed how much of a GOD Mozekyto would be in the cosplay world?

Fluffy.. beautiful colors 😍

Awesome! I can actually try to make this! Not only can I have hair for a custom doll im trying to make, but I can also have pillow fluff>w

I can’t wait to buy a Barbie !!!

It's so satisfying to watch this

so soft !!!!! I cannot wait for this !!! your so much thanks to share this video to us !!! I can't wait!!!!

I love so much your videos, I'm so glad that I can make wigs myself. Could you make a video about "how to make a curly wig?" Thank you! ♥

Ok, Im probably the only one but Im not using this for dolls😂 Im gonna try to make a full wig (specifically a Junko enoshima wig) wish me luck😂💕

OMG MOZEKITO THIS THING ABSOLUTELY SAVED MEH LIFE! I might be over exaggerating it a bit too much but we bought like £15 wort of supplies for the yarn wefts and the yarn wut look un even...but this helped me so oooo much! THANK YOU! BTW I love your videos and dolls

Just wanted to say *Thank You!* This worked out pretty well for me - Granted you can't make super duper long hair this way for your doll, its a great way to add hair on a budget. I manage to get my wefts about 4 to 5 inches using Acrylic Yarn via Micheal's Arts & Crafts however I don't use the "normal" type of Acrylic Yarn. I'm using Red Hearts "Unforgettable" brand, it looks like spun fiber in itself (almost looks like alpaca hair tbh but it's not and its shorter than Alpaca lol) ... I get good length out of it and it looks beautiful when finished. I guess the only drawback that sorta sucks is this particular type does not really offer a *solid* color (or my local Micheal's is just low on stock) since I am looking for a decent white or black color. That's so far the only major drawback I've encountered using this method. I do have actual Alpaca hair as well which I haven't worked with yet - But if I find a better yarn that yields longer fibers besides 4 to 5 inches I'll make sure to come back. Also don''t cut your yarn longer thinking it'll yield longer fibers, each fiber is a *set length* so you're just wasting yarn at some point. The type I use I can't just unravel it via my fingers since it's not like typical yarn.

Potentially stupid questions but 1 what kind of glue do you use and 2 what sort of plastic are you using? I tried to use elmers glue all on glass from a picture frame(I don't have plastic and not really sure where I'd find any) and it was like rubber cement. I've got yarn permanently attached to glass now lol.

"..this easily unravels the yarn." OSHITE OSHITE (Tokyo Ghoul reference..)

This is amazingly helpful. I'm going to start this new hobby of doll repainting!

I finally got the materials for this, they straightened and brushed out great!! I can't wait to see how they turn out, this is a super easy method.

i dont have a hair straightener so will a iron and sheets of backing paper work

when i brush it until it's tangle free i literally have NO yarn left because it breaks before it can unravel or detangle

this seems like such an easy and great alternative to alpaca, thank you so so much!!

Wow! This looks like so much fun and it looks pretty simple! Can't wait to try this out!!! Ty for this tutorial, I had no idea!

when I did this it smelt like McDonald's fries lol

can you use regular yarn

Holy moly! This was actually so informative! I actually even like the yarn before its straightened! That would make a cool fluffy wig! Thanks now I have to try this!

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I started making wefts for hair, but when I didn't like how that turned out I used them more in my doll clothing. Now my first custom has a beautiful faux-fur dress, and it's thanks to you and this video. Thanks bunches!

I had to improvise the shit outta this i used normal yarn a pencil

Btw....this does work with a regular iron (the kind for ironing clothes) if you set it to the lowest setting and are very careful. My iron has the settings labeled with examples of which kind of fabric each setting is used for, and setting 1 says "acetate, acrylic".

I'm making my first ever doll custom (at least only the hair to start) and this tutorial is incredibly useful! I mixed 3 different colors for a cute highlights and streaks in the weft.

Love your video! Very informative and no annoying chit chat with the audience!

do you 100% need to straighten it? [my mum gets upset when i use heated tools. ]

Please make sure you get thick acrylic yarn. Thin yarns are a major pain and loss. Only 100% acrylic works, not cotton, wool, or such blends.

I did this for the first time today and I'm so excited, thank you!

Thank you very much. I truly enjoy the entire wig making process. I’m going to try this technique with natural fibers as well to make wigs for my dolls. ❤️❤️❤️

OMG! Amazing!!! They look like hair extensions for people but ARE for the doll! Thanks for sharing!
