Hairing With Mohair - Part 2, Installation

Once you have the hair swatches made, installation is pretty straight-forward. The method shown below is for a closed shell. Open shell installation is the same as that for nylon hair, though you could get away with using PVA or Tacky glue instead of the hot glue.

Supplies:

• Hair swatches (two of around 4-6 inches wide)
• Scissors
• Toothpicks
• Glue (in something with a fairly fine point)

Hairing with Mohair - Part 1, Making the Hair Swatches

Everyone has their own technique for hairing a model, this is the process I use.

Supplies:

• Mohair (I buy mine from Horsing Around)
• Glue (PVA or Tacky)
• Rigid plastic sheet of some sort (I use take-away box lids)
• Scissors
• Something to spread glue - popsicle stick or plastic glue spready thing (you can find them in the children's art section in many stores)
