How to Make Hair for Your Yarn Doll

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Karina Fraley for Expert Village, and we are making our yarn crafts and we are making our doll. We have made the body and we just finished braiding the arms. Now, we're going to make the hair that we are going to attach to our doll. We're going to use our small surface for that, and we're going to wrap our yarn 70 times to give it a nice full head of hair. It's very easy. Just like you did all the other ones, start wrapping and counting. Just wrap it around nice and tight around your surface. There we have that. Now, we're going to slide it off carefully. We're going to lay it down and then just take another piece of yarn, about 6-8 inches. At the top bend, we're going to tie it tight. This is going to be kind of like the part of the hairline. Make sure that you make it right in the middle. Tie the knot once, and then you can go around again. This piece of yarn that we'll wrap around this way, we're going to sew through with yarn later to attach the head on there. Go ahead and make it a couple times around and a knot like that. Then you're going to pick up your hair. Where it bends at the bottom, you're just going to take your scissors just like before. Cut like that. Cut right through all the layers. Even it out, and then you're going to have your hair just like that."
