Does anyone know how to make a hairstyle that's similar to that of Bert's hair from Sesame Street? If so any help will be appreciated.

Bert's hair is made of fake fur; I don't know the specifics but I know it's a black long pile type of fake fur. There are a multitude of websites where you can buy fake fur, for example, http://www.mendels.com/ , or you can look around your surrounding area in fabric shops for it. My suggestion on how to make his actual hair style is to read around more on this puppetry forum for more help, I know it's helped me a lot in the past. Hope this helps! :smile:

I got plenty of fake fur for that, I'm just hoping I can find a tutorial that can make it in that style. Thanks for your help

Tbh i don't think there's much to it - just sew/glue the fake fur on the head and stick the fur up - possibly with spray glue? but honestly i wouldn't even do that.
