No doubt, even if you did a remarkable job rooting the hair, you are going to need to fix the hair somewhat in order to make it look more real. A quick haircut is in order and what you do here is entirely up to you. However, I would start with a basic trim as detailed below. This part is much easier if you wet the hair first.

Comb the hair downwards to the next all around the head so you can see how long it is.

You are going to cut it to the same length around the head, starting at the back. Where the hair line ends, start by cutting all the way around and as you are approaching the ear cut upwards so that when you reach the ear you can cut around the top of it.

With the hair at the front, cut any excess that hangs below the eyebrows.

Next, the the back of the head facing you, comb the hair on either side into the centre so you have 1 large clump. Cut off the ends. Redo this for the hair in between one ear, and then the other.

Clothes

This part hardly requires a guide J Simply add your chosen outfit to your doll. If you want to be ultra creative, then you can make your own clothes. There are plenty of free patterns available that will help you to do this, but it is not something I am terribly good at, so I usually end up buying an outfit.

Congratulations - you have finished reborning

Eyelashes

First of all, add the eyelashes to the doll. There are 2 ways to do this – you can either microroot them in place using the same method that did the hair, but with 2 inch strips, or you can apply eyelashes.

The latter gives very good results, and it probably the better of the two, however feel free to microroot if you wish. Once you have finished rooting, cut the eyelashes to the required length afterwards.

Don’t forget to glue the roots in place afterwards, from the inside of the head.

If you are going to apply eyelashes, first of all, make sure the eyelash is the correct size, and trim if if need be.

Remember, that the longer eyelashes should be on the outside of the eye, closest to the ear. Peel off the eyelash and start at the outside of the eye. Touch it into place with your craft knife, and continue along the eye to the inside. Add the other eyelash and leave them to dry.

Sealing the Nose

This is entirely optional, but I prefer to have the felt in place which adds depth – otherwise the open nostril can be very odd looking. Take your felt and cut a square big enough to cover both nostrils. Apply some glue to the front of the felt and stick the felt over the nostrils from the INSIDE of the head.
