DIY - Wefts (using a cheap mini Sewing Machine)

  • This is a video I wanted to do long time ago, but I didn't have a sewing machine, once I got some money from wig making I decided to pay some money for a mini sewing machine, it was cheap, 60$ for the machine and 10$ for shipping what a deal!
    The wefts ended up perfect, yes th first ones were not that good but I was experimenting. Now I know exactly how to do them.
    I used a fabric ribbon-glue to melt it inside the weft so it hold the hair better, I also used thinned nail polish for extra security.
    The hair is the human-synthetic blend I did in the previous video.

    thanks for sharing this video, I've had some braiding hair that i wanted to make into wefts and I'm happy you did a video on this. i tried the ventilating method and i totally failed lol but i really like the weft method especially for what i want to use the hair for. thanks again for sharing,
    a lot of people tend to keep things secret because they feel that it benefits them alone but I'm glad you are willing to impart your knowledge to others.

      Crystal IslandGirl This world is so big and I doubt anyone can take my "job" in wig making just because I showed them my secrets, it is always about how dedicated you are to your work and how much detail you are wishing to put.
      My thing is both knowledge but also determination. Not every person can have these qualities.

    Wow! Using the hair-straightening iron to melt the tape was something that did not occur to me until you did it. So simple and clever! 😁

  • @mercedeshughes5338
    @mercedeshughes5338 8 років тому +40

    little tip for your sewing machine needle to stop it getting icky with the tape, after your done sewing use a little acetone/nail polish remover on it to stop it sticking to other projects and saves having to change the needle:)

    • @SuperWigMaker
      @SuperWigMaker  8 років тому +13

      +mercedes hughes My needles doesn't penetrate the tape, if it did it would sew the tape with the hair as well, there is a gap between the two tapes and this is where I am sewing.
      but thanks for the info, I already knew acetone (nail polish remover) can dissolve the glue from tapes etc.

    Thank you so much for demonstrating how to make wefted hair with bundles. It helps with blending different hair textures in order to match the hair texture of the client, especially with different ethnic people who want to leave some of the own hair out..

    Oh my god i can't believe that you did this
    I did the same as you did on the last weft the one with out the fabric tape ,
    I am so pleased to know that someone else does these sort of things
    i thought i was the only mad person that would think up this stuff
    how did your wig look i can't wait to see it

  • @scottgray6276
    @scottgray6276 5 років тому +2

    This is great! There's a water-based glue, that is washable after it dries, called, Alene's Jewel-It. You can dilute it, and it will soak into the header of your weft!

I did not use heat to make the crease and it still worked wonderfully.

    • @SuperWigMaker
      @SuperWigMaker  7 років тому +3

      Yes, if you use the right foot you can even do a double fold at once, I just want to make sure it will be easier and consistent.

    • @cierasmith8484
      @cierasmith8484 7 років тому

      Super Wig Maker Hi I love your videos there just so amazing, your the best at what you do. My question is can you use hair from a hair brush to make a wig? If I was to save all my hair from my hair bush

    • @RencoStudios
      @RencoStudios 7 років тому +1

      +ciera smith It wouldn't work well because the cuticles of the strands will not be aligned from root to tip. So you if you wefted the strands from your brush, you would end up with very tangly wefted hair.

  • @yurika975
    @yurika975 7 років тому +6

    Thanks for this vid. I think I will try this for cosplay. I am still learning ventilating but trying a small crochet hook for now. This would make wig making faster by making wefts for most of the wig. Then I can work on trying to ventilate the front areas. I bought a few ventilating needles and holder.

    I used 2.0 inch wide, but you can get it in more wides.

    I love your video. I am loosing my hair quickly, and want to make a wig. I have collected hair from friends and researching to do this now. I dont have hair long enough to fold over like you did. I have pieces 7-9 inches long. Can I make these wefts the same way without doubling it like you did?

  • @courtesyof24
    @courtesyof24 8 років тому +1

    I wish I would have though of using the heat bond when I made my wefts. I used plain lace and I had to sew again after folding. Would have saved time for sure.

    • @SuperWigMaker
      @SuperWigMaker  8 років тому

      +DevilsEpicurean the double fold is the standard of wefting, but it needs the special tools to be made, I can surely not do it with my sewing machine or at least not with the presser foots I have in hand.
      I have also seen people use a sewing machine to directly feed hair into the sewing machine without tapes and such and they made perfectly looking wefts. My sewing machine (this pink one and the bigger one I have now) both munch on the hair, the hair somehow manages to get looped inside the bobbin area and they get scrambled.

    Thank you so much for sharing this video! Do you think this can be used for sinth hair as well? xoxo

      That was partially synthetic already, and you can fold the synthetic in half if you want since they do not have cuticles.

    What kind of ribbon did you use for the weft? What kind of thread did you use for this?
