She's got the floppies!
first step...new eyes. I could only find brown and green and afford brown, so she got brown
first the eyes
new lip color , some lashes and blush
earrings!
Now to work on her body
It took all of a 1/2 hour to do the body joints.
legs and arms washed
had heat the arm in the water and pull out
reheating all to install the joints that had new elastic tied to rings
what you see on the outside joint is the same as what you can't see INSIDE the leg or arm
the locking forceps were my third hand, hold the elastic really tight while I tied knots.
all ready to stuff
No more floppy legs and arms, Only what came out in stuffing went back in. I had to make sure the areas around the leg and arm joints shoulders etc were stuffed first, then the rest of the areas were packed I now have a "new" brown eyed Kit American Girl doll.
