The very best glue for applying  hair to your polymer clay doll is fabric glue.

A couple of years ago, I sold a doll with her hair glued with tacky glue.  At that time , I always used tacky glue. 

Well, when the customer received the doll, she wet the doll's hair to rearrange it and the pony tail came off.

I didnt know what other type of glue to use, so after that, I aways included a note with my auctions about not wetting the doll's hair.

One day, awhile later, I was reading a article written by Jack Johnston, the master doll sculptor, and he said to use fabric glue to attach your doll's hair.  I tried it and I am hooked!

I purchase the glue I use in the fabric department at my local Wal-mart.  It is called, Liquid Stitch, and cost only about $2.86. I think that any fabric glue will work, as long as it is washable.(11-11-07, update, a better fabric glue at Wal-mart, Beacon Adhesives, Fabri-Tac.  I got it in the floral department and it is clear and grabs and drys faster. Cost $4.96.)

The wonderful thing about using the fabric glue is that you can style the doll's hair with your own hair products after it is dryed for about 24 hours.

I have used water, hair spray, and hair gel on my doll's hair after apply it to the head and the hair remains glued.

If you haven't tried fabric glue for applying hair, give it a try; I think you will be pleased with the results.

No loose pony tails for Wednesday!

She is now in a private collection.
