Ribbon pulling is actually a really really old crafting technique from like the 50s and 60s. I have a booklet that shows you how to pull different ribbons so that you can make silk Christmas ornaments and all kinds of other things if I can find it quickly I will name it here for you it was eye-opening to see how people used to use ribbons in a fun budget-friendly way

I think she came out woderfully! The fringe looks like disco to me and the texture of the ribbon hair makes it look like she has a crimped hairstyle, feels like an 80s pony and super cute ❤

She feels very Flashdance!!

This video isn't disappointing at all! I love seeing you experiment. It helps encourage folks to look at materials in different ways and just how to play. The videos where you experiment with materials and techniques are some of my favorites.

i would love to see more experimentation with different unconventional hair materials!!

i think it was in the repunzel custom pony video that she mentioned the idea of doing a pony with 100% tinsel hair, i think that would be so cool!! especially paired with doing full shaved ice like she joked about in the trans pride pony video !

her little hoof frills!!!!!! theyre SO cute!

I'm so excited you chose to give the pony feathering around her hooves. That's exactly what I thought of when I saw those little fringe bits. I think the ribbon hair was a great experiment.

Her little ankle fringes make her into a draught horse! Gorgeous, I hope your niece adores it.

from my experience most of the time ribbons unravel nicely in the direction they were woven while the other direction is locked into itself on the edges (which you can’t tell just by looking) so if you try to unravel a piece of ribbon and it stops and gets caught on one of the edges, try pulling from the other end! also, the little fringe bellbottoms/stylized feathering turned out super cute.

Using the ribbon threads was an interesting idea. I like how shimmery the hair turned out from it. 😊

The ribbon thread hair makes me think of electricity, it'd be cool to use this technique for a lightning-themed pony or maybe a pony inspired by Jolteon or Zapdos

I feel like the fibers just need more treatment and teasing before they go on the pony so the strands relax a bit. The luster is delightful, and the weight could be great in the right circumstances! For display pieces, I feel like thick strands could be used to conceal a wire that could enable some crazy updos without having to use fixatives, even! Normal doll hair just doesn't play as nice for that, with the texture and translucence

Oh this is such a genius technique!!! I am so so glad that KZread exists so I can learn techniques from multiple different artists and hobbies, I’ve been trying to find a way to get a particular texture and length of hair and this has just opened up a whole new world of options for me!!

As I was watching this I had to go fiddle with my ribbons! I love the idea and I also really love the fring on this pony!

Will you do a yarn hair tutorial? Where their hair can be made all poofy? :D

this is so creative!! its probably great for someone who wants to get into doll/pony customisation but cant afford anything fancy!!

The feathers on the hooves are so cute. My OC has feathered hooves too, so you know I'm going to go nuts for them.

This is such a cool idea, I had no idea this was a possibility! I’ll definitely be using it! I’d been working on my first custom when I’d gotten kind of ‘stuck,’ because I disliked the texture of yarn hair but I didn’t want to have to pay out to order acrylic hair through the internet just for my first attempt at a custom, so this is more helpful than you could imagine. Thank you so much! ❤

Someone here said it already: ribbon hair has a downside. It breaks very easily and you can not comb it. If you need to detangle, use your fingers and something like a knitting needle to rearrange, never a brush as that will make the mess even worse. I did quite a few doll wigs, but only for display, it is absolutely not suitable for kids. Depending on what ribbon you use, it will look more or less like hair. In my experience it looks better when the ribbon feels like soft fabric instead of rather stiff plastic. But it will still be fragile hair.

What a cute and fun little pony. I'm sure your niece is gonna loooooove it ❤❤

You are so sweet! This is such a smart idea! You could use ribbons with prints on them too. Take them apart and maybe their hair could be a different colored pattern. That would be really cool! I love how this pony looks like a Clydesdale pony! So cute!

I've seen people make doll hair out of acrylic yarn. It takes a long time to brush it out but it looks amazing when its done.

Oh she is adorable you did a wonderful job!

I kid you not; I literally just de-haired this exact fakie about a week ago! 😂 I've set aside some cherry soda from The Doll Emporium which I think will look great too. Love the ribbon idea btw. Never thought of using that.

I think she came out wonderfully and if I were little, I would have LOVED the glow-up!

So cute! I love the fringe around the feet!❤

The ribbon hair is a fantastic idea, I know most people who craft have at least a few ribbons laying around to experiment with

Adorable! Your niece will love her!

She's so cute! I thought there were going to be pompoms but the fringes look great!

This is wonderful! She looks so cute. I love this idea ☺️🫶💕💕💕💕

This was cute!!! Hope your niece was happy!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Very cute, love the fringe lol

Love her! It's my birthday today so a video from you was a perfect present!❤

aw I think you're too harsh on yourself! the end result is so sweet, it gives me dancer vibes! not necessarly disco, it makes me think of salsa dresses? it looks like the hair styled pretty well too for being such a different material! it came out so cute. is it a g3 pony? I didn't know they came that small! just wanted to check as well if you received my last email - obviously no rush in getting back to me, I'm just worried it got lost somewhere c:

This pony is a pretty common fakey, you can find them in dollar stores and the like pretty easily. One way to tell is the rooted tail. Real mlp ponies have a folded hank of tail hair that comes out of a single hole.

oh my goodness, thank you for sharing! I haven't seen this method before. I have tons of ribbons I've collected over the years, but can never afford all the fancy hair fibres I like for my dolls, ponies, etc. I usually use the yarn and dog brush method, I can't wait to try this one 😊

As a ribbon collector, this is perfect!

I like the music for this one! Sounds like the sims 4! Made the vibes even cozier. Great work as always

This is a very cute idea! I love the fringe around her feet. I think your niece will love her pony's new hair because her aunty did it specially for her ❤

I have the exact same little pony! I can’t wait to customize her 🥰

Always a pleasure watching your videos!! ❤❤❤ you always do an amazing job!

Omg, this little fakie looks amazing 😮😍 I like idea with ribbons!

Asombroso el trabajo con ese material. Y tambien una linda posibilidad para restaurar ponis para los que no consiguen pelito crin en donde viven. Un acierto la musica.

I know from OOAK Doll makers that once the glue sets you can boil rinse certian types of thread hair to help curl and style the haircut you want, that could help with the curly/kinky texture of the ribbon thread, I do think that the Pony is super cute as is, it but it would be worth a looking into to see if it's possible

I can see myself using the miniature fringe idea for sure. You could glue it on a drab plastic Barbie purse for a realistic 3D element.

I absolutely LOVE the decorated hooves, to be honest!

This is very clever!

you are so creative!!

Very pretty and cute 😊

You can use a pin to unravel the ribbon easier

This is genius! I def wanna try this

She came out very cute.

So cute. I'm so glad to learn another material for making hair. I feel silly for never thinking of it, but I'm glad to know now

I would not recommend the Ribbon Hair for a Toy that a Kid is actually playing with. It is too fragile and get tangled and frizzy to soon. I would have used Hair from Clip in Hair extensions you find everywhere like T€DI or Action (Dollar Stores in Germany). In the Beauty Supply Isle is a Kid section with colorful Hairpieces and Stuff. Hasbro used this Fiber for Sea Ponys back than. I bought one and the Hair is a matted mess. Feels like cotton Fluff.

I how fragile is it exactly? I was thinking of trying it with one of my g4 ponies (who 10 year old me thought needed a haircut after some hair-matting soap baths) I don’t play with them but I don’t want to waste time on a project that will have to be remade :)

The ribbon around the feet looks a bit like the feathering some real horses have i think thays cool

Quedó hermoso!

Thank you so much for sharing!! I've been looking for a new material to use for hair, cuz buying it online is to expensive for me😅 I'm so excited to try this out!!

The hoof fringes remind me of Clydesdale horses - I think they look pretty good.

This is a really cute idea!! Maybe next time you can try using a brush, boil-washing or using a hair straightener to get it to be even more convincing as a hair texture? I don't know if that's something people usually do with ponies or ribbons but I've seen it done lots of times with people using it for dolls with yarn hair, so maybe it's feasible here too!

11:29 were you tempted to play with the bits of fringe as false eyelashes? That's what I saw, sitting on the table! 😂

oh wow!!! i love this idea so much!! i haven't been so involved in my hobby as i used to be, money being tight making the idea of buying hair for ponies kinda discouraging, but ribbons? i can do ribbons! i have to wonder what other materials could work too, i wonder if embroidery floss could work if it's separated enough?? likeee. oh mann

i have to wonder different ways one could mess around with styling ribbon hair though- i have a pony quite similar to the one you're working with here so i am definitely considering experimenting myself- like, i've definitely worked with trying to style polypropylene doll hair (sigh... unfortunately. my pony here might be using that material) and despite my hatred for that particular material i did learn that at the very least conditioner can weigh it down and make it easier to work with, i suppose as far as ribbon goes it would all depend on the material, so it may be tricky considering i'm just going to have to guess what materials the ribbons i have are, but regardless i'm EXTREMELY excited to look into this possibility!!! i can certainly understand feeling disappointed by the results of projects/experiments, but i have so much admiration for the things you do on this channel-- it's truly so inspiring!

Have you ever tried a re-root with acrylic yarn? People commonly detangle & straighten out strands of yarn for doll hair

Awesome video! I know G1 is more of your thing, but do you think it could be possible to restore and/or costumize any G3 ponies in the future?

YESSSS NEW PONY VIDEO

cool fakie reboot :D

Music festival pony!

cute tail

You could make a frilly pink tutu with any more leftover ribbon!

Have you tried brushing out yarn?

I tried doing this for a bjd wig eeeeoooonnnsss ago and I can say it doesnt hold up very well. The fibers start to get tangled and matted over time with even very very little handling…

❤❤❤

What generation is this pony.

This pony is a fakie, but it appears to be based off of the G3 Donkey Pose.

did this with my ponies as an ooak when i was 12, i also dyed the vinyl body in a jar of coffee 😭

Hello!!! I have a my little pony that is in desperate need of repair a G3 one, is there an email address you have I can send you pics and possibly decide to work on her as well as quote on price? Thank you!

Hey, any chance you are/know ExhaustedVessel? Probably not but you sound similar to a friend I had online

The music broke my ears oml, I loved the asmr feel so much.... Thank you for the amazing video, though! xo

She's so cute but is there any way you could use different background music for your videos? I usually find your videos very relaxing but the music in this one was hard to listen to

I love the fringe around the legs! It made me think of hula dancers from Hawaii!!!!

Muy mersa, pero ojalá mejore

Grüße ^^✨

She looks lovely, you are far too harsh on yourself! 😅

I have a pony I would like too send & give to you for a restoration or custom. Its a G1 Wedding bells Confetti in a miserable condition 😢 I feel so sorry for her and I know you would make wonders with her. Would you like to adopt her and make some wonders with her? 🦄 🌈 💕

using a resin mold to put the old hair in :P

Ohhh, no bath 🛁 lol lovely project .

In Soviet Russia, they cut ribbons into YOU!
