If anyone here who's just starting out feels clueless just know that I'm a professional-ish doll artist who's been doing this for about eight years and I still come back to this video again and again because I'm still completely mystified by wig making.

I prefer a wigs 1. Because you can change the hair colour when ever you want 2. It's much easier to wash the hair if it gets mucky or dirty and you don't have to get your doll wet 3. It's a lot of fun to swap the hair from other doll to doll 😊

“Will work on any scale doll” So what your saying is....theoretically.... I could use this to make a wig for myself?

What if I make a wig using my own hair. I wanna try. edit: I don't have enough hair

Btw, if you're making this to curl & style, don't use nylon. This will melt if it comes in contact with anything hot. Hope this helps!

So this whole wig thing gave me an idea..... Could you do a tutorial on how to cover up all those holes so you could just have a bald doll without it looking weird? Maybe even do a cancer custom? My mom has cancer but she hasn't lost her hair beucase the chemo treatment actually almost killed her but she has lost quite a bit of hair. Dolls are supposed to be somewhat inspirational or an idol influencing ones life to young females (and males! 😉) like the Barbie! I think a Cancer inspired custom would be a great awareness and to show all those poor cancer patients that they are still beautiful and to not stress over their appearance! 😊 Hmm...... I don't know..... I'll let you decide and figure this out! It was just one of my ideas that I thought I would share! So.... yeah! Hope This comment will be seen, if not I'll just repost this on another video lol. XD

GUYS, stay till the end to see her cat!

3 years and I'm still using this tutorial. who's scrolling through the comments and seeing this in 2019??

I might try this on a larger scale and make my own custom wig.

Ugh,t his has me so excited for doll making!

I have my own steps step 1. Sew onto doll step 2. Give up and cry until bed time

I legit just thought of this, but wouldn't it be cool if she used this wig for one of the stockbox videos? I dunno why, but I feel like it would be a waste to not use such a pretty wig. Just saying though 😂

This is the most comprehensive tutorial I've seen yet on how to make a sewn doll wig. Thank you so very much for being so thorough. It really helps even the bit at the end about styling and parting the hair, because let's face it, you go through all that hard work, get it to look reasonably good and then have absolutely no idea what to do with it or how to get it to look right afterwards!

I love how at the very end the doll on the right is guarding her wig like, "Mine! No one else can wear this!" You've seriously inspired me to eventually try my hand at doing some customs. I've done custom Funko Pop figures, but not dolls. One day I will be brave enough.

Dollightful: To many hair, Me a person with dummy thick hair: No such thing

I like both. A downside of wigs is you can’t brush through them easily and an upside is they are easier than reroots and less expensive sometimes. Reroots are great and are fun to comb through, however the materials for reroots can be expensive sometimes.

I like how shes not perfect with her tutorials 😊😃😄

Thank you so much! Tbh I'd rather sew it then glue everything like the wig cap and wefts and gluing the wefts on because I'm too impatient for it all to dry xD! It would take me about two weeks or so because everything takes so long to dry! This would maybe take a week or less depending on school work and everything! thank you again!

"I hope I was clear and you found this tutorial helpful" YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH YOU HELPED ME

I'm just using this as a rough guide on how to make wigs for myself, cuz I'm making a Mikan cosplay soon, so I'm binging wig making tutorials, and this was one of the first ones that came up-

U made it look so easy

Great tutorial!

I'm making a cloth doll and was totally freaking out about how to handle the hair... Even though it's a slightly different process, this video was SO helpful omg, i can't thank you enough! 😊

I can't be the only person who didn't know your main doll had a wig instead of being rerooted, right? Anyway, this tutorial is so helpful! Definitely going to be doing this

I cant be the only one who never knew monster high dolls had ears

i dont even own dolls why am i here

Aw... Absolutely stunning. You have made her look so gorgeous. Thank you so much x

this can work very well with premade wefts! THANK YOU! EDIT- why do you make it look so easy?

okay I don't know how I got here but your a genius

Why is this so calming to watch? Also you are epic, it's like real sewn in weave

WOW! This tutorial is FANTASTIC. I'm infinitely grateful for this. Thank you!

If I knew this in the 90s, I would not shown and made my girls knit the hair back on the Barbies they cut the hair off! It takes the smallest knitting needles (2mm) to do this through the scalp pores of the doll. There are KZfaq videos explaining how it is done. Your technique is how a real person's wig is made, BTW. Great work!

Is no one gonna talk about the very very end of the video?

Thank you so much for this! I have been making yarn wigs for about a month now and I wanted to use ACTUAL doll hair and this helped so much!

Your sewing skills are AWSOME!

I tried this method with yarn and it worked wonders! 10/10 would recommend

human hair extensions work as well if you want to recycle or save costs! sometimes they are made of high quality nylon and already come sewn into wefts... you can cut the wefts out, spread it out and cut them to length... use the cut offs to make shorter wefts for shorter wigs

If you want to do hair that goes away from the face (but could show the jagged ends of the lace), you should *try folding the excess lace back over the elastic* before sewing the layers together. This creates a simple hem, so when you fold the wig cap right side out, the messy ends of the lace are contained within the wig itself. 👌✨ (Note: I don't actually own BJDs, so I'm not sure how well that works in practice, but I *do* cosplay and make my own clothes/pillows/plushies so I've got some sewing experience, haha.) Btw, 10:22 was beautiful. haha. Bless.

I came across this tutorial and I had all the materials...except the hair. So I'm making pastel pink hair wefts out of yarn. People usually use glue but I really love your idea of a wig cap and sewn wefts! THaNkYoU 💜

This is from 2016 I know, but just in case people haven't thought of it, you could use water soluble stabilizer. It comes in sheets and is made to hold up to machine embroidery or appliqué and then rinsed out afterwards. It holds and reinforces the fabric in the hoop while the machine does its work and helps the stitchwork look nice and even .

Wow so much work goes into making a wig!! That's so awesome!! Great work and a great wig!!

Awesome! I'll try to use this method to make a cosplay wig :D

I like how how colorful the wig is so happy and the colors are my favorite 😁🤗

Your videos help me so much! I'm starting to get into remaking dolls,and these tutorials are so helpful. Thank you!

Who else has watched this 3 times before buying hair for the wefts?

Can u plz start selling these wigs😫

I have no idea why I watched this but this was pretty amazing! Very clear instructions without too much talking and the outcome is really neat, I love the hair colors the doll has now and those bangs really rock ^^

I just bought my first bjd for 240$ and i was confused why the wigs on the site was so expensive... never figured it would take THIS much effort daamn good job!! :D

The wig looks like Stocking from Panty & Stocking

Your voice was really adorable in this video you sounded so young (sorry if this affends you because I know you had a cold in this video)

This was the first video i ever watched. I feel safe saying I watched all the videos and find myself coming back to check for more videos and usually end up rewatching everything

I don’t know why this is my go to vid of yours that I love watching over and over again

your videos really make me feel like I could do this if I tried

Oh that's pretty I like that

This is my FAVORITE CHANNEL!! 😻😻😻😻

Omg u are amazing idk why I am even watching this there is no way I would be able to this in a million years

The colour of the wig and the bangs remind me of Lisa from Blackpink

Woah,, I didn't need this information and I probably won't use it anytime soon, but this was really interesting and I like it!!

Wow! You are soooooo patient! This is awesome!

Oh my god thanks you so much!!!! I needed how to make the webs for a wig for me, but this solve my life! Thanks you so much and awsome work!

Now that's what I call a lace front wig!

Dollightful I have a challenge for you and also cuz I'm curious if it will work I dare you to re root a doll using fake hair exstentions like the ones you clip in your hair when you were younger

It looks like River Styxx hair! So pretty ! ❤️😃 I can't wait to try this!!

AHHHH I'M SO EXCITED FOR DOLL CUSTOMIZING!!! Your videos are so easy to follow, and you're so creative, it just makes me impatient because I don't have a doll yet... I'm able to get one, but I'm waiting until I get a sewing machine.

the wig reminds me of stocking from panty and stocking

I'm making a real wig, for like people, I'm thinking I'm gonna use this as a base to make them, lets hope this goes well-

I miss these sewn wigs!! I love this video and process so much 🤩✨

I like to reroot my old beat up dolls and give them to my little cousins as gifts for Christmas and birthdays and they absolutely love it

This is so cool, and she's so entertaining!

You should make a doll with a different sewn or glued wig for every "mood" or whenever you want to change up her look a bit. That would be really cool!

Aha! Elastic... this is something I have been missing! I have just been making gauze and white glue caps but the elastic sounds like a really logical idea.... I should have thought of this!! Aha! This wigcap is totally different... I need to make some as I don't like glue on the wigs...or at least I haven't been happy with white glue or hot glue. This is why I thought sewing the wefts in was a better idea... thanks again ...well it's you that pulled me kicking and screaming, into the doll hobby... actually I can't thank you enough! Yes I do believe that this is the wig making style for me!

You..... you are a amazing. This was the best tutorial for doll wigs I’ve seen 🙌

I really want to do this but... im not that good with a needle and thread 😔☹

I LOVE THISSS ITS SOAMAZING AND U R SO TALENTEDDDDDDD❤💛💚💙💜

Easy to understand and very good tutorial. Love it!❤❤❤

Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! I'm making a custome Annabelle doll and I've been really puzzled on how to finish the hair, this was so easy to follow and fun

Dollightful : ANEYONG! Me: IS THIS HER LITTLE SIS IS THIS HER NIECE IS THIS A RANDOM GIRL video: sorry I had a cold Me: ohhhh -_- XD

love this

This helped so much. I had no clue where to even start on my Hugo fae doll except that I had wefts from another project I could use.

This whole Doll Repaint thing is gonna be my new hobby. I just need $$ for it.. Good thing I'm getting a job this summer!!

i did this with a rea wig, i regret NOTHING!

great job 😘

Omg! Can't wait to try it out! Thank you for this tutorial ❤️

Best tutorial I’ve seen! Tysm!

Note: Instead of going through the annoying trouble of tying a knot with the thread, just use the "backstitch" setting in the machine. Usually it's a button that you hold down with a little arrow making a u-turn on it. Just a little tip!

Does this work on a human wig?

Wow! Definitely going to be helpful when I get the chance and materials to make my own!

violent applauding THANK YOU YOU SAVED MY FUTURE DOLL

What the hell am I doing here...

OMG FINALLY I want to make an eevee set like she did and I have eevee but i can’t re rout and I can’t paint or pastel the body’s but at least now I can do this thanks so much your videos inspire me so much thansksas

The intro when u say unyun it’s so cute bc your cold made it sound so cute and squeaky

I've been binge watching your tutorials to decide if I want my doll to have a wig or reroot. I think I'm going to make a wig because I'd like to change out my doll's hair easily.

Huh yass this is going in my hair playlist, for grown-ups 🤗

This could also just make a shower cap

Thanks so much for this . I LOVE how well you explain each step of the process including why this or that works best . New subscriber here !

That was so good, and very helpful. Thank you. Now I’m going to try this instead of trying to add permanent hair to my doll. 🥰
