Thanks Deb!!

I always think that I could do better when I finish a project but still I'm happy with the results.

After all I'm not a professional and I'm teaching to myself.

Hugs,

Nilsa

You should be very pleased at your efforts, my friend.  Never stop learning!  That's the best thing about this hobby, there's always something new to learn and try to tackle.  Check out Dollyhair.com and you'll be ready for your next reroot.   

"Stripper".   Good one, Yaz'mine.    That got me tickled.

Which tutorial did you use Nilsa?  You did a fantastic job.  How many re-roots have you done?  Tracie

Tracie, first, thanks for your comment. I really appreciate it.
I have done 1 silkstone, 1 Kelly doll, 1 mod face Barbie, 2 parcial reroots to other older Barbies and the last one was Skipper.

I like these two methods:

I want to buy a re-rooting tool (www.dollyhair.com/reroottool.htm) to see if it is easier than just the needle and the pliers that I have.

Bye,

Nilsa

I have read somewhere that you can use an embroidery needle in certain sizes for certain size doll heads, clip part of the "eye" of the needle creating a "forked end" with metal cutters and insert the sharp-needle end into a pencil with full eraser to act as a rerooting tool-the "forked" end is sticking out of the end of the pencil eraser.  This method requires the use of glue inside the head since there are no knots.  I hope that made sense! lol,  I'm going to try that method,  there was a tutorial I found somewhere.

I'm always pinching myself with pliers and sticking my fingers with needles and having accidents with knives, so I want that tool, lol.

there is a tutorial about how to do the reroot with the tool and adding glue at the end of this page;
