Dolls are made from different materials. Plastic is very popular. Also, master classes on making interior dolls are often found. In principle, the material for their manufacture is sold in shops for needlewomen. It is especially interesting to find out what doll hair is made of, and there are many options here.
It is necessary
- Llama skin.
- Yak skin.
- Satin tape.
- Woolen threads.
- Wool for felting.
- Saran.
Instructions
Step 1
Let's look at wool first. This is the best option! If you are going to engage in the creation of designer dolls, then you will not find a better option. Moreover, in this case, only this option is acceptable. Look for suitable offers on the open spaces of the network. If you find a sale offer on a large forum, agree. On average, a skin of 10 by 15 cm costs 800 rubles, it is enough for several dolls. Wool can be dyed if you find a white llama or yak skin. Tresses are also on sale, but they are much more expensive than skins, but they are sold even in small handicraft stores.
Step 2
Many people use all sorts of improvised means, but first I would like to recommend saran. This is a very high quality synthetic hair. You can buy it on special sites. Due to the delivery, it will have to wait for a while. You can also choose other good analogs - for example, fiber. But all the same, synthetics are worse in quality than wool, and in the case of creating an author's doll, this option is simply unacceptable.
Step 3
Synthetic materials are often chosen for their beauty. But many find improvised counterparts, for example, a satin ribbon. You can dissolve it - then you get tress. It is also glued to the product. Satin ribbon hair looks beautiful, but only for the first few days. It is difficult to wash them, it is impossible to comb, but it is easy to re-glue them by making new wefts from satin ribbons. In addition, wool can be used for felting, although the appearance of this material is immediately easy to distinguish. It looks a little like real hair, but is suitable for creating styling and hairstyles. In addition to the materials listed, woolen threads are used, but their appearance also bears little resemblance to real curls.
