How to Make Dreadlocks From Yarn For Cosplay

Sometimes you need dreadlocks for a costume, but don't necessarily want to dreadlock your own hair. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to make dreadlocks from yarn. You'll end up with kind of a wig of dreadlocks or technically elflocks in this case. I used my sewing machine to connect the strands together, but you can also sew them together by hand. Just run the thread through them and tie off each end. • These are just intended for cosplay. They don't look real enough to pass for real dreadlocks (up close mine kinda look more like a dust mop than real dreadlocks). If you want a more realistic look, you'd have to individually attach them to your strands of hair with rubberbands. These are just meant as a quick, cheap easy solution for when you want simple dreadlocks for a costume. To wear them, just bobbypin the dreadlocks wig to your real hair. • I'm planning to use my dreadlocks as part of my steampunk elf costume when I get it finished. So I used the white mix color, because I thought it seemed the most elvish. However, the yarn comes in several colors, so use whatever color you need for your costume. Or you can also get plain white and just dye it whatever color you need. • MATERIALS USED: • Ball of super bulky yarn in your chosen color (I used some I found in JoAnn's: https://www.joann.com/buttercream-coz...) • Scissors • Sewing machine or needle and thread • --------------------------------------------- • STAY CONNECTED - • Follow The Woodland Elf on Facebook: / thewoodlandelf • Follow The Woodland Elf on Twitter: / thewoodlandelf • Follow The Woodland Elf on Pinterest: / thewoodlandelf • Website/blog: https://thewoodlandelf.com • ---------------------------------------------- • Hope you enjoy this video.
