2. 3 things to remember when you make your
own reborn dolls
If you are interested in making your own reborn dolls
then you are surely in for some fun times. when you
come to putting the finishing touches to the newborn
baby doll you will get a great sense of satisfaction.
To help you avoid some common pitfalls, here are the
leading 3 tips to remember.
Remove the original of all factory markings
One of the most important things you need to do is to
get rid of all of the factory markings from the doll you
want to reborn. This will include any and all factory
paint as well as the dolls hair and eyelashes.
It can be quite a lot of work to do this, especially
considering some dolls have a huge amount of glue
inside the head in order to hold the hair in place, but if
you leave anything on the doll it will ruin the look of
your finished doll.

3. You dont need to use a purple wash
When reborning was in its infancy, many people
applied a purple wash to the inside of the dolls limbs.
This was to give the skin a slight blue tint which
helped to increase the visual outcome and make it
look more real.
However, it was soon found out that the paint used in
the purple wash will, over time, penetrate the outside
of the limbs and can lead to the outer paint layers
being tainted. This effect can ruin the entire doll.
For this reason, it is best to not use a purple wash and
instead you should focus on building up the paint in a
series of layers on top of each other.
Dont use sand to weight the doll
One of the last things to do is to add some weight to
the dolls body and limbs before you put it back
together. It is important that you try to avoid using
sand where possible though.
For one thing, the bags that contain the sand are most
likely going to leak and will leave the doll with an
uneven weight as well as making a mess. Sand, being
rather fine, is liable to find its way out of most bags
quite easily.

4. Also, if the doll contains sand, you may find problems
if you want to ship your doll overseas(if you sell them)
it might get rejected by customs and excise, which
has been the case several times already.
These 3 things will help you to get the most out of
making your own reborn dolls. Of course, you should
mainly focus on having fun and enjoying what you are
doing.
