  • Completed Project: Yarn Falls The Easy Way. Picture #1

Yarn Falls

Not rich enough for thoughs expensive dread falls. Well yarn falls are the way to go. Here is how you can make an awesome look without the expensive price tag.

Extra tip: If you have short thin hair like i do. Its a better idea not to use so much yarn because it will way your had down and it will feel like someone is pulling on your hair all day. If you have long thick hair, your falls should be thicker and longer.

  1. Step 1

    How to make them.

    Ok, first you should start off by cutting your yarn. Make sure you cut the yarn twice the length you want it to be, because when you fold the yarn in half its going to be shorter than you cut it. Also make sure your Yarn is in a bulk. It must be enough to cover your existing hair. You can have as much yarn in each one as you like depending on how thick your hair is. So, once you have your yarn cut. Make sure you mix up the colors of yarn.Now take one hair tie and tie it to tie it around the yarn (like you tie your hair in a pony tail). Make sure the tie is in the middle. Once you have completed this step. Take a second hire tie and tie it to the existing tie you have on already. This one will tie the falls to your hair. Once you are done with the first fall, repeat the steps as followed for the second one. When you have completed your second fall your done. Simple as 1,2,3. This may take 1 to 2 hours depending on the length and thickness of your falls.

  2. Step 2

    Extra tips.
    1. Once you have cut all your yarn. Feel free to add in Strips of fabric, sequence, rexlace(lanyard string) etc... to maximize the possibilities.
    2. If you do not like then ends of your falls to be different lengths. You can cut them to make them even at the bottom.
