£5 doll finished

[misdee]

could make £30-50 on this one ithink, be so hard to part with her

before and after i got her from ebay for £5, absolute bargain. absolutly filthy as well lol.

How do you get them clean, misdee?

And do you make the outfits for them?

[misdee]

thats an original outfit that i have had on another doll.

depending on how dirty the doll is and what kind of dirt it is requires different methods. this one just needed some oxyclean gel squirted on her face hands and feet, scrubbed gently with an old toothbrush, then left to soak in a tub of hot-ish water with liquid detergent added. then rinse, squeeze as mus out as possible and 48 hours in the airing cupboard.

i have had some that are covered in mold which is harder to shift.

What a difference it makes! Looks like brand new.

Am chuckling at the idea of a "dolly hairdressers" though
