Enjoy DIY! A Collection of Beard Ideas (1–10)
Stick-on mustache that’s simple to make
A simple, fluffy fake mustache made with faux fur—if you use the same fur for the eyebrows to match the mustache, it should give a unified look.
Start by cutting paper into the shape of the mustache you want, then cut the fur to that shape, and refine the overall outline and hair length.
Next, stick double-sided tape onto the surface of a bandage, attach the cut fur to it, and you’re done.
The small kindness of using a bandage to adhere it to the skin might be an important point for ease of use.
A moustache made from a mask
This is a simple beard craft that creates a comical look by combining pieces cut from a mask.
First, cut the mask so that only the elastic bands and the top and bottom parts remain, and paint the top and bottom pieces in a color that blends with your face.
Next, take the cut-out section, rotate it, and attach it to the lower part of the mask.
Trim the edges and add slits so the beard looks spread out.
Finally, cut the leftover pieces into thin strips and stick them onto the upper part of the mask under the nose like a mustache, and you’re done.
Pay attention to the length and thickness of each piece to aim for a more realistic beard.
A mustache you can move and play with
When it comes to handmade mustaches, most are the kind you stick between your nose and mouth or attach under your chin.
This time, however, let me introduce a moving mustache.
The mechanism is simple: the mustache has a part you hold in your mouth.
You can easily make it with origami.
First, crease the paper, then start folding.
Each time your mouth moves, the mustache you’re biting will move up and down.
It might be a hit to make at home with your kids.
And how about adding a moving mustache to your costume for a small party?
Beard Stick

The fun part is that you can hold it in front of your face to instantly show a different expression, like an easy disguise.
All you need is an easy-to-hold stick and materials like pipe cleaners and pom-poms—just keep in mind the nose-and-whiskers shape, and feel free to finish it in any colors and forms you like.
Dog and cat shapes are classics, but simply changing the colors can completely alter the look, so it’s fun to try a variety of patterns.
Ghost’s whiskers

Even a scary ghost turns cute with a mustache! Use white construction paper for the ghost and black construction paper for the mustache.
If you make the ghost’s hands using the children’s handprints, you can keep a record of their growth, too.
Ghosts often bring to mind Halloween or summer courage tests, so why not make this craft around those times? It’s especially perfect for indoor Halloween decorations.
If you create other facial features besides the mustache, it will turn into a unique, personalized piece.
Simple felt fake mustache

Double up the felt, cut it into a mustache shape, and sew it with a sewing machine.
Using a machine is quick, and you can even express the flow of the mustache hair with the stitching.
If you’re not comfortable with a sewing machine, try using glue or other methods.
A longer mustache is recommended, as the design fits nicely around the mouth.
It could give you a different vibe when playing with friends.
How about trying on a felt mustache? It might also look nice as a wall decoration during the Christmas season.
Become Santa with handprints
https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck7-4wJr0F6/Here’s a bearded craft I’d love for you to try making during the Christmas season in December.
When you make a Santa Claus craft using construction paper or a paper plate, you add a beard, right? You can certainly make it from paper as is, but try using handprints.
After stamping a handprint, attach it to the Santa craft with the fingers pointing downward.
At home, kids will probably be excited about the step where they ink their hands and press them onto the paper.
If the beard is made from a handprint, Santa looks even cuter.
Santa’s beard made with tissue paper
A soft, voluminous white beard made by combining tissue paper and a face mask that pairs well with a Santa Claus costume.
First, fold white tissue paper and snip it with scissors to create frilly strips.
Then, fold another sheet of tissue paper into a triangle and glue the frills onto it, staggering the layers.
Trim it to match the width of the mask and attach it, and you’re done.
If you don’t like the frills touching your face, we recommend wearing it over a regular mask.
Dragon’s Beard made from sweets
Introducing edible whiskers.
Bundle several pieces of chewy soft candy and knead them together.
It’s hard work to knead, but aim to form a round shape.
Make a hole in the center, then stretch it in a container dusted with cornstarch.
Create one loop, then keep doubling and bundling until you have 16,000 strands.
It’s a task that requires patience, but keep at it.
When a single loop becomes 16,000 strands, it will resemble a plant’s dragon’s beard.
When you eat the finished product, its unexpectedly unique texture might become addictive.
Beard made with origami
The beard made from black origami is noteworthy not only because of its shape, but also because folding it adds sturdiness and a three-dimensional look.
Basically, you follow the diagonal creases as guides and keep folding into triangles; making the tips sharp at the end is what creates that final sense of depth.
Once you’ve made two identical parts, create a small gap in one, fit them together, and bend the tips to finish.
To achieve a beautiful beard, it’s important to make both sides symmetrical and match the shapes precisely.
