I made a rehairing tool using a large yarn needle with the pointy end shoved into a wooden peg with the very end of the loop in the needle cut out to lock the hair in a 'U' and then just punch the plug back into the hole. It's basically how the manufacturing process at the toy plant does for the hair, just on a slower and smaller scale.

Every so often the U on the tool breaks, but I just pull the old needle out and replace it with a fresh one.

I broke my tool not to long ago, but I was done with my custom and hadn't bothered to fix it. I can make a photo show of how it's made if anyone's interested...
