Enjoy DIY! A Collection of Beard Ideas (1–10)
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.
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 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.

Beard brooch made with free embroidery
Free stitching is an easy type of embroidery that you can do by simply poking with a special needle.
You can enjoy embroidering as if you were drawing a picture.
Let’s make a mustache and turn it into a brooch with free stitching.
You can create a brooch with a pleasantly fluffy, textured surface.
It’s sure to add a cute accent to any outfit.
By changing the hardware, you can even turn it into a mustache headband.
There are starter kits that include needles and thread, so it might be a good idea to give one a try.
A long beard made of yarn
@aubrelius This took me 4 hours to make and I love how it turned out! #markl#howlsmovingcastle#aubreliusmade#stepbystep#cosplay#beard#fyp#crafting
♬ Sleepy Time Beats – Redpestbeats
Here’s a must-have beard for dress-up events like Halloween and Christmas.
We’ll make it using yarn.
Cut the yarn to the desired beard length and attach it to the fabric.
I recommend using a hot glue gun for attaching.
Hot glue guns provide strong adhesion and set quickly, so give it a try.
The finished piece has the distinctive straight-lined look that only yarn can create, giving it a charming vibe.
It’s easy to make, so why not try creating one for your next costume event?
Tomte, the bushy-bearded fairy
Tomte are fairies that appear in Scandinavian folklore.
They are said to live in farm attics and barns, tending livestock and acting as guardian spirits that bring happiness to the people who live there.
In Scandinavia, they are also beloved as a stand-in for Santa Claus.
As Christmas approaches, you often see Tomte figurines on display, don’t you? Let’s try making a Tomte figurine.
Tomte are characterized by their long triangular hats and shaggy beards.
If you use fluffy yarn on felt fabric for the beard, you can capture the look of their long, bushy facial hair.
For yarn, we recommend Marble Cat, which you can even find at 100-yen shops.
Once December arrives, be sure to display the Tomte you made.
Cat whisker holder made with resin
Everyone, it’s said that cat whiskers bring good luck.
In fact, naturally shed cat whiskers are believed to attract fortune and improve your financial luck.
Some of you might even want to keep cat whiskers as a charm.
With that in mind, let me introduce a stand that lets you display cat whiskers upright.
Since these whiskers are said to have wonderful benefits, you’ll want to be particular about the design too, right? So why not try making a resin piece? You’ll need resin liquid, a UV light, and molds, but the result will be a charm-worthy creation.
You can also add color, so how about designing it to resemble your own cat?
