A good boil dip will help soften the head to make removing it a restoration easier. I did a big combing oit like you did & regular hair conditioner to help get out the tangles. While it hot you can use a comb to style , i also used small perm rods ro put the curl back. Her hair responds well the a gentle heat & can be usedwhen styling ( a blow dryer works well) I also braided the long hair to make it easier tonpull tbrough & putl the head back on.
Great info! Thanks for sharing! 💕
Thank you for this video. I just put one back together for my Mom. :0)
@@griffinshortclipschannel1914 Aw, I'm so happy to hear that!! 💗
Awe, I found your channel trying to find a tutorial on how I could restore my Bye-lo baby. She was given to me from a friend who was cleaning out her cellar. She was a reproduction baby from the 90's, so not that old, but her face is now broken. I almost have all the pieces, but I have no idea how to restore bisque. Hoping I might find a little helpful video in your collection. I did try to find a replacement head on ebay and ended up buying two more bye lo babies cause they are just too cute! No luck in finding a spare head yet. Thanks for the video. I am really enjoying your restorations.
Hi! Such a great question! I need to do a video and experiment with porcelain repair! I've actually only tried repairing one truly shattered bisque doll. I carefully used superglue to glue the pieces back. And then I filled in tiny cracks with a mix of white glue, cornstarch and plaster and delicately repainted those areas. But I'm sure there are professiinal antique restoration folks out there who have years of experience. If you are definitely going DIY, you might want to practice on a cheap porcelain doll from a thrift store first? Hope this helped. Good luck! Keep me posted!🤞💕
Can' wait to see the ending results! Love your channel!
Thank you!! 💕I hope to finish her up in a video this week. 🤞🩷
I agree with you that seeing the age on the dolls is so fascinating! The few that I have restored, I have left most elements of the doll as original as possible, even if it looks really old. I’m glad your doll was shipped safely. 🙏🥰 Your dream baby head turned out really nice. I still have my baby doll from childhood. She is a vinyl doll with cloth body and baby blue sleep eyes. I got her when I was 10 so I have had her for 50 years!❤
Ok, first I just have to say I can't believe your age, you look amazing! You should do a video on your beauty secrets! And second, I love that you still have your baby doll! That is the sweetest!! ❤️
@@MaggieToTheRescue aww thank you so much for the lovely compliment. 😊 My Dad gave me the doll and since he’s not with us anymore she is even more special. 🥰
What an important doll to have such a beautiful memory attached. 💖
Never saw that pencil trick before! I have no antiques, but I have a Bye Lo babie from the 70's. Her body was destroyed when I had a whole in the roof and it rained on her. You did a wonderful job!
So sorry about your Bye-lo's body. If you still have the head, maybe you will find a replacement one day? 🤞 Thanks for watching! 💕
@@MaggieToTheRescue I saved the head and arms
I still have my Kader baby doll, her name is Betty and she is 55 years old! I love looking at these old dolls, just thinking about a little girl 100 years ago getting one for Christmas or Birthday and all the joy and excitement they would have had opening and playing her with them.
I just looked up Kader dolls. Omg, so cute with a litte tuft of hair?! I'm so glad you still have Betty. 🩷 And I imagine the same...the child playing with the doll. So nice when we can preserve a little of that history. Thank you! 💕
Very neat!
I have a dream baby ! Just love her !
Aren't they the sweetest! I need to watch your videos to see what paint to use on her hands. I usually just mix acrylics, but yours looks better!
🤗🧡♥️💚🎈🖤🧜🏻♀️🍁🎃🤩🔥😍
❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a transformation! I was on the edge of my seat about how the long part would turn out 😂 Great job! And thank you for sharing. I got a Crissy doll recently and am so happy to have found your tutorial! ❤
Aw, thank you! So glad you found a Crissy! 💕 Yeah, do NOT take her head off. 🙄 Let me know how her clean up goes! Good luck and thanks for sharing. ❤️
@@MaggieToTheRescueHer head will definitely be staying on 😄
Very glamorous
She looks great!
Thank you! ❤️
Hi I just brought my Shirley Temple doll from my moms house and at some time her hair was straightened so I would like to try to recital it. Do you recommend a specific type of fabric softener. Is it normal hair conditioner you used afterwards? I will need to go buy both and curlers so I hope you see this and are willing to respond with suggestions. I’m 71 and I’m guessing my doll is 60-70 yrs old but haven’t checked her for markings yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Hi! First, make sure she is indeed plastic, not composition! Composition will be ruined by water. I just use Downy softener and then cheap human hair conditioner. Just rinse it well. It takes patience, but it's worth it! 🥰 Good luck!! I can't wait to hear how it goes! 💕
Incredible make over 🖤Never would have thought of this for a Madame Alexander!
Thank you!! Her eyeliner inspired me. 🥰
My vote would be for Kira. I just think that her green eye makeup takes it to a different level. God Bless!!!!!
I think she looks fantastic in it too!! Thank you! 🥰
As I was watching this video I was thinking that we should had collaborated and I would had loved to make her a goth Lolita dress! Imagine that! I loved this and you have inspired me to make a goth makeover. ❤
I would have LOVED that!! Maybe in the future??!!! Good luck with your makeover! 💕
Oh this is amazing!! I love goth rock so much so this was such a welcome surprise!! 💜 Siousxie Soux is one of my favorite goth icons along with Lena and Robert Smith. I loved Maggie’s goth look at the end too! 💜 Now you’ve given me the inspiration of giving one of my dolls the trad look makeover haha 🤣
That makes me so happy!! LOVE The Cure too, of course. ❤️ Thanks for watching!!
So cool!
Thank you! 🥰
Looks brilliant love her and Maggie of courseXXX
Thank you!! ❤️🎃
Oh the red lips took her right to the Rocky Horror Picture Show Level. 😮
True! 😆😘
Really enjoyed this lovely video!
Thank you! 🥰🎃
Hi 😅I’m watching
Thank you! 😘
@@MaggieToTheRescue I rewatched your video of Totally Hair Barbie makeover
She looks so cute!💖💖💖
Thank you! 💕🎃
What a surprise shoutout to Nina and Lene. They were my favorites in highschool.
They were fantastic! ❤️
Fabulous! I've been thinking about redoing a few so-so Barbies and Kens that have no value into Goth and costume people. Once bought a lot of clothes and dolls so little invested in them but obviously fun to do what you did, make it interesting. The update you did so well, she's been reborn to a whole new doll life.
Oh I hope you do! Keep us posted. And thank you! 💕
She looks great!
Thank you! 🥰
Fun 😊 she's fabulous ❤
Thank you Nola! 💕
🤗♥️💚🖤🧡🎃🎈🍂🍁♥️🔥🧜🏻♀️🎃
Wouldn’t it have been better to have cut the long cylinder instead of the head? Maybe not if it would’ve continued to crack …just thinking out loud
A good idea. 💕 The only thing is that cylinder is shockingly hard (as in might take a saw). I just wish I hadn't removed her head! 😢 Hope others learn from my mistake. 🙏Thanks so much for thinking about it and sharing! ❤️
@@MaggieToTheRescue I just found your channel and I subscribed immediately because you did such an amazing job with your tutorial and your information was very helpful. I actually called my sister to ask her next time she runs across beat up dolls at garage sales to buy them for me. I have a few I have worked on before but I didn’t know what I was doing really. I still remember wanting a Chrissy doll when I was little and actually getting one! I loved that doll! My sister got the blonde doll (can’t remember her name at the moment) but I wanted Chrissy. I even had the Baby Chrissy at some point too. I would love to find one that beat up and fix her. I would absolutely keep her and leave her to my granddaughter. She is only 7 but loves dolls and she is so much like me when I was a child. I know whatever I leave her she will treasure. She actually has a space in her closet for keepsakes like her special baby shoes or things I made her to pass on to her babies. What 7 year old has that on their own? Anyway, I love your videos they inspire me a great deal!
@AnnaTortorelli Aw, you made my day! 💕 Your granddaughter sounds wonderful and she's so lucky to have you! I hope you find a Crissy or Velvet (the blonde doll). I actually found another Crissy and a Velvet together in a local thrift store. They aren't in as bad of condition as my other Crissy but they need TLC. They are out there for sure! May the doll fairies bring you one...maybe you and your granddaughter can rescue one together one day. ❤️
I’ve treated a lot of stains on vintage fabric in my doll restoration adventures. I find that making a paste with the oxy powder and hot water, and working it gently into the fabric with one of those ultra-soft toothbrushes really works like magic!
That's great! I will try that. Oxy is amazing. I don't know the effect on fabric long term, but it sure seems great in the moment. Thank you! 🥰
They look just gorgeous! Great restoration work. I don’t have any antique dolls in my collection so I always enjoy watching others make them beautiful again, hoping you’ll post more 🥰 thank you!
Aw, thank you! I have an antique AM "Dream Baby" I hope to restore soon. Thanks for your support & encouragement. 💕
I really love vintage halloween costume and I like it on the ponytail hairstyle barbie better ❤️
Thank you!! 🥰
@@MaggieToTheRescue you're very welcome my friend 💖
The costume is so cute! I’m surprised the tights have held up so well given their age, that’s an exciting find. A boil wash would probably fix Kira’s hair
Thank you! 🥰 Oh, I thought Kira's hair looked good. 🤣 Ok, next step boil wash! She's become my official salon doll. Thanks for watching! 💕
cried happy tears on this one. she looks so much like my dol Sally. poor Sally came down with biro induced spots that she never recovered from. she ended her days, in a box in the loft. I was devistated to later discover, this was a fatal mistake, she perished litterally. her vinyl dried to the point of collaps. i was and still devestated about this. if you are needing to store your dolls, please be mindfull of the longer term tempreture that area may experiance. don't want someone else to loose a special doll that way
Oh that is so heartbreaking! But I'm so glad you can see your "Sally" again here. 😊 And yes, great word of warning to all of us to store our dolls out of direct sun, but not in dank basements or attics either. Thank you! ❤️🩷❤️
The Masquerade outfit is on my WL, great find!!!
Thank you! I was thrilled. Hope you find yours soon! 💕
For the “natural wave look” hair you tried lightly wrapping their hair in piece of old t shirt or light weight thin towel and letting it dry most of the way wrapped? I have this type of hair and when I want that gentle wavy look all over I do that. It really works great on my hair.
That's a fantastic suggestion! I will try it for sure. Thank you! 💕
Loving that pink dress. She’s also a gorgeous doll.
Barbie has been classy thru trashy, skinny to chubby and everything in between.
🤣 True. And I'm sure there's more to come! 💕
Oh wow-I really love the outfit on the repro Barbie!
Me too! Thank you! 💕
Hi !! I love you so much I came again to ask for help with something. I hope you can help me. I have a doll that can't keep her hand steady. I mean when I raise her hand it's getting down again. I hope you understood my explanation because I don't really know how to explain it.. Thanks! 🌸🌸
Awww, thank you so much!! ❤️❤️ As for the hand, do you mean a Barbie's hand is loose at the wrist? If so I haven't ever tried this...but I've seen others drop a little super glue in the joint and move the hand over and over until it dries. But I can't vouch for this. I personally avoid using super glue on anything if possible. But looks effective. I'll try to find some videos later today and send you links!
@@MaggieToTheRescue Oh TYSM I appreciate you helping me! I will try super glue as well. I am waiting for you too. If you find any of the videos, you can send me the link! ☘️❤.
Here is one from AliceinArtLand. She is doing it for Monster High leg joints. But I think it could translate to Barbie wrists? If anyone else knows for sure, please let us know! 💕 It starts around min 3:10. ua-cam.com/video/1_dWOqKDLmM/v-deo.htmlsi=T2tXja-C8BaeGQEt
@@MaggieToTheRescue Unfortunately, I saw this now, and I tried the idea of super glue and it did not work completely. There are negatives to this because it is no longer able to move in all aspects. 😣
She’s beautiful 💖
Thank you! 💕
Repro ponytail!
They all look great in it…better without the hat for sure.
I get that! 😘😆
There’s nothing like an original vintage Barbie outfit! The quality is super! They all look fabulous in it. Who wouldn’t? But of course, the vintage repo looks the best. Fun video! Thanks!😊
Righ?!! They really were like miniature human clothes (unlike the weird printed ones today).Thank you judyp! Your comments always bring me a smile. 🥰🩷
WOW 😮 😅another Kira A Filipina friend of Barbie! I think that must in her magic legging suit! You’re so lucky 🍀 to find her more in thrift stores 😊 but in athentics, they’re so many more mattel original barbies in better condition but already own or reuse by whoever 😂
Such a great outfit ❤
I love the 60s ponytail hairstyle with the 60s outfit! And, I agree with you... I think those legs were designed with this outfit in mind! I was, however, quite surprised at how different each Barbie looked in the same outfit!
I was surprised too! Thank you for watching L! ❤️❤️❤️
