Let them wear beards!

What do you do when you have bored nieces and nephews who like to dress up and way too much brown yarn in your stash?

You make them beards!


I used plastic mesh and a crochet hook to loop and knot long stands of yarn. Then some braiding and beads to make them reminiscent of Vikings, pirates, dwarves, and so forth.


I had to try them out, of course. I’m strongly tempted to make one for myself. One of us has a real beard, can you tell which? :grin:

Both are “real” & they both look great too! I like how you solved the yarn-in-mouth problem, you clever gal!

Yeah, that’s really smart to use plastic mesh to keep it all together. Lovely beards!

Fun, fun, fun! I made my son a yarn beard for a costume once, but it wasn’t nearly as attractive and sturdy as yours appear to be. How cool!
