Don’t Throw Dolls Away;
Repair Is Usually Simple
Yon can make it a merry Christ
mas for a child by simply doing a
little work on old dolls.
Most parts—wigs, eyes, heads,
arms and legs—are not expensive
Suppose you have a doll that
needs a wig.... Here’s how to
put it on.
1. Remove old hair completely.
2. Apply any water-proof ce
meat.
3. Hold doll between yourseli
and table.
This will leave your arms free
to work.
4. Slip the wig on from the
back, with the thumbs holding the
head steady and the forefingers
gently guiding the wig.
5. Bring wig well over the fore
head, then move back into desirec
position.
6. Hold the wig m place will
two rubber hands, one across the
forehead to the hack and the of he;
across the top and under the nose
7. Let dry for a few hours.
Or take eye-setting. Single eye:
must be set by machine, but yoi
can install eyes that come in ;
unit yourself.
1. Set the eyes in the opening
and hold temporarily with a littl<
wax from a candle.
2. Hold them permanently b;
applying plastic wood or plaste
of Paris.
Many dolls have elastic band
which hold the limbs and head ii
place and allow these parts t
move properly, as shown in th
illustration at right. There mus
be the exact amount of tension o;
the rubber or elastic band. Some
times a rubber band needs to b
cut and tied shorter to give mor
1
tension. If it*s an elastic band, get
the right tension by cutting and
then looping the two ends together
, with fine wire.
You can give your old doll a
beauty treatment cheaply enough.
r 1. Wash the wig, using luke
warm water with soap suds.
2. Place the wig back on the doll
and brush.
3. Sections of the hair may be
placed in curlers. Use hair pins,
too.
Lips: use red naO polish. Like
wise for fingernails and toenails.
■ Cheeks: lipstick rubbed with a
cloth to make rouge.
; Stuffed animals are not at all
difficult to repair:
L Take seams out by snipping
t the thread, being careful not to
snip the material.
[ 2, When seam is wide enough,
. stuff cotton or other material in
• side.
3. Put enough stuffing inside so
that there is tension when the
; seams are brought together.,
i 4. Sew, using a strong needle
i and double or triple thread—ny
lon thread is strongest, but others
; will do.
