Rehairing Tool
« on: October 12, 2013, 09:37:52 AM »
I've gotten the re hairing bug, currently I've only done the needle/thread method but I find that takes sooo long so I'd like to buy (or make) a re hairing tool.
Any suggestions on who sells them or is there a tutorial to make one?

I use a duel-ended pin vice.  You can pick one up on Amazon for about $5.  One end has a size 24 tapestry needle with its eye cut at an angle, and the other end has a another tapestry need, which I use to expand the holes.  I cut my needles myself with wire cutters.

I use the dollyhair tool, with my own needles like coinoperatedgirl :) and a push pin for widening holes :)

The dollyhair tool is a pin vice, just with one end instead of the two-ended kind I use - that's how I got my idea (I was looking for the style she sells when I found it).

I made my rehairing tool out of a sewing needle and a xacto knife handle. Heres the tutorial I first used http://www.monsterhighdolls.com/forum/topics/how-to-make-a-homemade-reroot

And heres a good video from okiegurl on how to use the tool http://youtu.be/2mHTva5wepg
