Now I proudly present to you how I felted my Fairy doll hair! I used both a metal brush and a regular brush. The metal brush is similar to a wig brush, but is NOT a fine brush like a pet brush. The regular brush is a simple plastic bristles kind, it helps to pill the hair (or split the fibers) much much easier.
Step 2: I colored the fairy hair with a permanent marker. I got the idea after seeing how to the dye a shirt with them, and knew instantly I wanted to do this with my yarn! I noticed afterward I should have used more of the marker to get more of the color to pop through.
Step 3: wire brush out the hair. If you only have a regular brush then use it, you just might have to brush more to get it to felt. Don't be alarmed! You will have pieces in your brush to clean out. Make sure to work the underside of the hair as well! If your doll or Ami has a head or body of hair you'll need to do this in sections. Work from the bottom of the strands to the top. Use the regular brush to help separate the strands of yarn, or you can manually do this yourself.
Step 4: Now you can style the hair and enjoy!
