I guess if you wanted to get extra creative without spending much money at all, you could get a disposable cake/oven pan (the kind that's not too flimsy, but still much more rigid than tin foil), then cut out two long rectangles. Be careful to not cut yourself, the edges will be sharp! You might want to wear work gloves for this. Carefully fold each rectangle accordion-style into a corrugated zigzag, so they can stack on top of each other (picture the plates on a crimper!). Then take your pony, get its hair wet and brush it out flat, smush it between the makeshift crimper plates and bind them together with a rubber band or two. Then just like you're boil perming, dunk the hair in some boiling water, then set it in cold. Let it dry, then remove the plates. I'd imagine that would work, but this is just me theorizing! Otherwise for something similar (and much easier), you can tightly braid hair then boil-perm it, but that's more like waves than crimping.
I used small braids and hot water to restore the hair on one of the sundazzle ponies. While the result is not as exact as the original crimp, the final product really did look very very close to the original
Same here. I braid the hair then dip it in almost boiling water. Then I leave it to dry. Biggest issue...getting the crimp to end of the hair.
