There's one brand of yarn-- I think it's "Angel"?-- the super soft kind anyway, that if you string it and then twist about three strands together, you can rub the piece with your fingers and dred it. Looks TOTALLY great. Note: knot the pieces at the bottom!
I also string mine on pieces of ribbon-- lace trim works well, so does that sort of ribbed ribbon you can get really cheap that I can't remember the proper name of right now-- so I can tie them over whatever size bun(s) I've made that night. I find that easier. If yours are thick enough, and you tie it underneath, you can give the fall some height at the top and also hide the bun.
Yours look really cool BTW!
Lemme know if you ever want to make dred falls with wig hair...it's more time consuming but not nearly as hard as you'd think, and it looks SO cool. Comes in cool colors, too!
