Homemade FUZZ HEADS

 

      

Here I used Woodland Scenic’s

Wild Honey Static Grass

 

    

Here is Detail Masters Black Flocking

 

Here’s what I do

 

Put the Flocking in some kind of small squeeze bottle

 

Wrap some kind of magnetic strip around the neck of the bottle

(You can buy a strip with one side sticky or use a magnetic business card)

 

Paint the “Hair” with Elmer’s White Glue

 

Hold the head over a large box lid or wax paper so you can recover the excess Flocking

 

Squirt the Flocking onto the head until thoroughly covered

 

Let dry overnight (or a couple of hours)

 

Go back and do additional features like mustache and eyebrows

 

You can pretty much do this with anything you want to look like felt or hair

The Flocking

 

Detail Master (available at local hobby shops or on-line) comes in a variety of

Colors.  I’ve got Black, Brown and Dark Tan.

It is used for model cars and detailing the seats.  It’s a fine fiber

And shooting it through the bottle creates a static charge

Which makes the hair stand up.

 

The Woodland Scenic’s static flocking should be available from most hobby stores.

It’s a little longer than the Detail Master flocking.

I don’t take credit for this.  I just put up some pictures for others to benefit.

You can purchase ready made FUZZ HEADS from several sources (like I did)

or

Now you can make your own!

 

Enjoy!
