Hi! Fake hair help, please?
Hello! This comm was recommended to me as a good place to ask a crafting question (and maybe to post some pictures in the future). It looks like such fun here! A whole comm for crafts based on the things we love to watch, read, etc.? That is so cool.
I'm wondering if anyone knows whether there is such a thing as fake blond hair attached to a sort of backing that could be easily sewn onto a plushie? I have been casually fiddling around with Perry Mason-related crafting ideas for my personal enjoyment (yes ... probably a sentence very rarely strung together) and have made a plushie of District Attorney Hamilton Burger, which I adore (and would be happy to post pictures of when I take some, if anyone's interested). I have been considering also making one of Lieutenant Anderson (one of the two characters played by Wesley Lau in the icon here).
For Hamilton's hair I bought some dark brown mohair and sewed it onto the plushie via the backing on the mohair. I have been discovering it's easier to find curly-ish hair or fake-fur rather than straight hair. For a plush of Andy, I really don't want to have to resort to sewing or (Heaven forbid) gluing loose pieces of fake hair. Nor do I want yarn or felt or anything like that. I want fake but real-looking blond hair on a backing, if anything like that exists.
I guess if all else fails, I could cut up a blond wig....
