A false mustache is a pretty fun way to change looks. Such an accessory can be a part of a carnival costume or used "solo". With their help, you can play a friend or change the image in an instant, try on a new image. Or maybe you want to become unrecognizable? In any case, an overhead mustache is indispensable!
Where to get?
Of course, you can buy a false mustache. But what if the store with similar goods is not in your city, or it is, but among the presented assortment there is not exactly the model that you need? In this case, a false mustache can be made independently.
How to make a false mustache yourself?
There is a special way to make a fake mustache - tambouring. Its essence is as follows: the hairs that serve as raw materials for the manufacture of props should be collected in a bundle, and then carefully laid out along the length. For this method, you need a special improvised tool - a card. It is a flat brush that is attached to the surface of the table with a clamp. The hair needs to be combed, laid out on the card and fixed with a second same brush.
- The basis of future mustache will serve as a thin tulle. It is necessary to indicate on it what shape the finished product will be. After that, a post-hook hook is taken in the hand (in the same position as the pen for writing). His beard should be pointing up. With it, it is necessary to pull out from the brush-card along a small bunch of bristles and bend them in half (a loop will be obtained). It is fixed with a second hand.
- Now you need to use the hook to stretch the hair loop through our tulle. To do this, the hook must catch several bristles that extend into the loop held by the other hand. When this action is completed, the resulting loop must be tightened well.
- When a false mustache is made by the tambouring method, it is understood that a double knot will be used. Such fastening provides the finished product with high strength and excellent quality. To tie it, you will need to repeat this action after pulling the bristles into the loop and tighten it again. Thus, you need to fill the entire base form from tulle.
Of course, this lesson can hardly be called easy. It will require quite a lot of time, as well as scrupulousness and leisurely work. But the result will be amazing. The mustache made by this method will practically not differ from the mustache of "natural origin". If necessary, the finished mustache can be cut or dyed in any color. This method is good if it is impossible to buy a false mustache identical to natural.
If less plausible overhead whiskers are suitable for your undertaking, then they can be made of colored cardboard or painted later on yourself. Wire, fur, felt - all this can serve as an excellent raw material for making funny false mustaches.
And if you attach a stick to an artificial mustache, approximately the way it is attached to the pince-nez, you can get an original and funny accessory for a photo shoot. Moreover, their use is extremely popular today.
