She is a Mystery but what a Transformation! Vintage Walking Doll Restoration & Repair
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- In this video for vintage doll repair and restoration I show how to take a vintage walking doll with a split down her side and repair her. I not only repair her cracks, but even show how to clean her inside and out but I also repair her arms by restringing them. This doll needed her wig to be repaired but I decided she would do better with a one. So I bought her a vintage one that is new old stock from Dollspart, a Dynel wig. I cleaned her metal and inside of her head so that it would be repaired. This doll restoration would not have been complete without her new wig and lovely checked dress that fits her like a glove. I used several items in this doll restoration to repair her cracks, clean her, and how to restring her. Here are the links to the doll repair and restoration items that I used. You can see more videos that I made for how to repair a vintage doll in the links below.

Once again the crew has rescued another little girl. This one looked like a challenge with the body damage. She is beautiful. Thank you for all you two and your helpers do.
I am so happy you enjoyed it! They are the best helpers, they make each day brighter.🥰

than you so much! So happy you enjoyed her transformation! She really was a challenge but she was so very worth it!❤️🥰
As always, beautiful work!💙Look forward to your videos. Always feels like I'm sitting right there with you during your intro. 💞
Thank you, sweetie! We are so happy you are enjoying them. We wish you were here with us!💕🥰
That looks like it was a difficult restoration and I am amazed you pulled it off! She certainly had quite a transformation. Evie did really steal the show! I love how she showed up in the photo too. She looks just right. My mom watched your video with me, and when I told her you had a new one out she said, "Watching them makes my worries go away." Thank you for making these and for being such a pleasure to know and watch.
well this is funny . Sent you a reply last night but checking now it says you never received it. so if you get two it was meant to be. Yes you are right it was a very difficult repair. Evie does steal the show for sure. my dog Greysons claim to fame is loving with all his heart. would you do me a favor, please give you mom a big hug and a kiss from us. we both feel that what she said was about the sweetest thing that anyone has ever said to us. You know that it is because of you and a few others that we are doing this Channel. we love helping everyone with fixing their dolls but we know that we will not be able to do it indefinitely. We are not physically capable for that. while we can we will give it are all. your loving kindness helps to keep us going. Thank you for all of you support! We certainly need it!❤️😘🥰
@@DIYDollArtist I certainly will! I told my mom how much you appreciated what she said. You are both so kind. Mom said you are both so likeable and enjoyable to watch. She said, "Who wouldn't like watching them?" Thank you so much for making these videos. They have helped me so much. I know they are challenging for you both to make, and we really appreciated you sharing your gifts with us. Are Evie and Greyson sister and brother? They are adorable! What nice helpers you have.
Love love the dogs they ate both cute
Thank you so much, they make each day brighter for us.🥰
Wow once again you really made her beautiful. I. So glad you two found her and you do such a nice job of restoring her. [thank you for sharing.
I asked you a while ago if you could re-sttring my 1970s 6" Dawn doll. You asked me to send you pictures. I'm not sure how to do that. Any ideas
I am so happy you enjoyed her. You can send pictures by attaching them in an email to diydollartist@gmail.com I would be happy to see if I can help. If you are not sure how to send an attachment in an email perhaps you know someone that could help you with it.🥰
🙋♀️❤️. Shes beautiful! The doll's head stuffing looked like dryer lint! I hope somebody knows who she is.. Her figure could be for a bride doll. But bride doll walker? No. ...
Oh, your dogs are stars now. Don't be surprised if they want billing and treat breaks!
BERMUDA TRIANGLE! HAHAHA😅
thank you ! She was quite a challenge but very worth it! we don’t know who she is but we know that she is all original. The dogs are cuties they got that cute stuff nailed down that’s for sure. with so much time put in the channel and eBay they just want more of our attention and they deserve it. When the time is right they will get tons of attention 😉 Chantae is right the chair I work out of is a very hungry little brat. I’ve lost enough things in it. I’m going to ask my grandson to turn it over and retrieve my things from my chair pack rat!😂🙄
Wonderful work! Could you show replacement of of eyelashes on hard plastic dolls like Madame Alexander Cissy. I have found it impossible to get right! Please help!😊
We will do a video in the future on that subject but it’s going to be awhile because there are quite a few in line ahead of that one. but I will try to tell what you can try and I hope it works for you. we haven’t had many dolls with eye lash problems. but when we do so far this is what we do now. I might find a better way in the future I just haven’t got there yet. At dolls part .com I get a glue called instant grrrip. I have also got eyelashes from them. The eyelashes have a sticky part you peal off the paper after you cut the lashes to fit to stick them on. BUT! the sticky part is way to wide . I cut it almost all off and leave enough to hold the lashes together. you only use a small amount of the glue to glue the lashes on. use something small like a needle to pressure the lashes in place and repeat that as the glue dries. it will dry clear. cut the width of the lashes the same as you have on another doll with similar original lashes. some people take hairs one at a time from small paint brushes and replace one lash at a time. They say the paint brush fibers are thicker . That’s the best I have to offer at this point. If you try on of these methods and you don’t like it just dampen them and they will come off . then you can try again till you get the results you like the best. Hope this helps.🥰
I think she is a Dee and Cee doll,a Canadian dolls Company.
thank you so much for taking the time to help us . I think you’re right! we came across one of those dolls many months ago but didn’t connect the two. thanks for solving our puzzle!😘❤️
@@DIYDollArtist you are welcome 😊.Looking forward to more doll restorations on you channel.
Roddy walker?from uk
thank you so much for the information! we will research that and let you know if she is 🥰😘
Eyes would be plastic, not glass.
you are absolutely correct. At first glance I thought the were glass. Chantae videos as soon as she can before l get my hands on them to start to restore them🙄. I hadn’t had a chance to look her over better before that video was taken. I just can’t wait to get started and it makes it a little hard on Chantae’s ability to get the videos done. Sorry for the mistake.❤️
Find out who she is
I think we may have found out who she is. Someone suggested that she is a Deluxe Reading doll. I am not familiar with these dolls but the picture that they posted does look like her. So perhaps that is who she is. Either way we are enjoying her, I hope you did as well.🥰
