Make it Monday July 22
Today I am so excited to share with you two
easy and inexpensive ways to create hair extensions for your dolls using items
you can find at your dollar and craft store.
To create today’s craft you will need:
-Nylon Rope from the dollar store (I choose
blue but yellow would look great as well)
-Two buttons I used one blue and one with
brown in it to match my feathers
-Feathers
-A Gem Sticker
-Two small hair elastics
-A bobby pin
-A glue gun or glue dots
-Scissors
-Your Doll
Step 1- Assemble your supplies, plug in
your glue gun to heat it up. Cut 16 inches from your rope.
Step 2- Separate your rope twist into three
pieces as shown in the photo above
Step 3- Open a bobby pin between your
fingers. Take one of the strands of rope and fold it in half, put the middle
through your bobby pin so that a loop appears .Bring the ends through that loop
and pull tight. Secure the rope in place with a elastic. This is now your hair
extension.
Step 4- Braid your “hair extension” and
secure the ends with the other hair elastic. Trim the ends so they are all
even. Your hair extension is ready to wear!
To dress up your hair extension as I have
done follow the steps bellow.
Step 1- For this embellished hair extension
repeat the 1-3 steps in the above tutorial but use twice as much of the
separated rope.
Step 2- Once you have secured the rope on
the bobby pin with the elastic, add a dab of glue and carefully press some
feathers into place in the hot glue, repeat until you have used the desired
amount of feathers.
Step 3- Glue two buttons to each other and
then glue a gem sticker in the center of the smaller button.
Step 4- Glue the buttons to the feather,
press into place to secure.
Step 5-Braid your “hair extension” and
secure the end with another elastic. Trim the excess at the end.
Step 6- Place your hair extension in your
dolls hair.
