I've got yarn and floss - trying to figure out how to make it look good. TIA

Some people use wool roving and braid it of needle felt it into shape, then use a tiny amount of glue to attach it to the bead.

Some people use embroidery floss. When I use floss, I loop it around my fingers, then cut one loop end, then fan it out on top of the bead (which I laready spread with glue). I know Selena recently posted that she attaches hers using the hole in the bead, which I am going to have to try because her hair always looks so much neater than mine

LOL, I do mine like yours, I just tie a part at the top so it doersn't slip

I poted the bead thing because I know some do it that way. I don't

I've done wool roving through the hole in the bead. I threaded a large eyed needle with roving and pulled it through, then I fanned it out and glued it down. It was a nice effect, but then it was a bit tricky getting the head on the body.

I find most hair ills can be hidden beneath an acorn cap or a little felt cap
