How to Put Yarn Hair on a Doll and Other Doll Customization Techniques

Doll customization is an enjoyable and original way to give your dolls a unique personality. The most common method of doll customization is the addition of yarn hair. Here is how to go about it: Materials: scissors, needle and thread, yarn in the chosen hair color, a doll head, and a hairbrush. For the doll’s hair, cut the yarn into strands that are the right length. 2. Fold one strand in half using the other. 3. Thread the needle, then tie the end off. The center of the folded yarn should be penetrated by the needle.

5. Pull the needle through the doll’s head where you want the hair to start.

6. Knot the end of the yarn strand on the inside of the doll’s head.

7. Repeat steps 2-6 until the entire head is covered in yarn hair.

8. Use a hairbrush to style the yarn hair as desired.

You might want to fix Barbie’s eyes or add makeup to her eyes in addition to adding yarn hair. Barbie’s head must be removed with a small screwdriver in order to fix the doll’s eyes. To make the eyeballs pop out, gently press on the backs of the eyes. Replace the eyes with fresh ones after wiping the eye sockets clean with a cotton swab. Apply eyeshadow or eyeliner to the doll’s eyelids with a small brush for the eyes’ makeup.

Painting the doll’s body is another method of customization. You will require acrylic paint, a small brush, and a sealant to paint the doll’s body. The doll’s body should first be washed in soap and water. Put on a base coat of paint and allow it to fully dry. Add any subsequent information, such as attire or tattoos. Finally, use a clear sealant to protect the paint.

Use a clear sealer spray or brush-on sealant to protect a doll’s painted surface. Let the sealant dry completely between applications and use thin, even coats. The sealer will guard the paint against fading and scratching.

A unique and creative way to make dolls special and one-of-a-kind is to customize them. With these techniques, you can add yarn hair, fix Barbie eyes, add eye makeup, paint the doll’s body, and seal the paint for a finished look. Happy modifying!
