In this tutorial I show how I restore a vintage caracul wig. Mostly used on dolls from the 1950’s and earlier the caracul wig comes from the Karakul sheep. You may have seen it on a Betsy Wetsy, Tiny tears or Effanbee Dydee doll to name a few. These vintage wigs are very fragile but they can be gently washed and using a needle to lift each curl they will become the tiny little curls they once were again.
At our channel @DIYDollArtist we repair and restore broken, sometimes dirty, neglected dolls and toys. We want to teach you some of the techniques so that you can repair your doll, and have confidence doing it. The restoration of these vintage dolls can come in many different ways, some we find at shops, some are found and given to us to restore, and some just need a little love. Here are some links from our channel @DIYDollArtist
