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?

Santa’s beard made of cotton
During the Christmas season, some families might make Santa Claus crafts with their children.
Once you’ve made the craft, adding a playful element makes it even more fun.
Try drawing Santa Claus on cardboard or thick paper.
The key point here is to draw a big beard.
Cut out the shape of Santa, and then cut out the beard area as well.
On the back side of the beard opening, apply clear tape.
When you flip it over to the front, the beard area will be sticky.
Attach cotton to the sticky part, and you’ll have an adorable Santa with a fluffy beard.
Kids can enjoy adding the beard afterward, too.
Give it 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

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.
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.
