U still did an amazing job. Her hair kinda reminds me of flower fun barbie

Actually, if you'd not mention your scissor-happiness, we would never had guessed. The doll turned out beautifully. Somehow she reminded me of Marilyn before you brushed her curlers back.

Please don't be so hard on yourself. She looks very pretty and still very much a typical 90s Barbie too. Your passion and dedication to all things Doll restoration is something that's always a joy to watch. 🩷

Great job I have some discolored Francie dolls to try this on. Do you use the same process on the arms?

I love her hairspray hairstyle is giving edna turnblad ❤ at this point you should’ve called your channel doctor Barbie girl cuz you just revived her lol 😂

The outcome is very good, and I find her very cute. She looks like a 1950's Barbie doll as what you said!

Oh I'm glad you posted this - it's amazing and love all the info you share. I think she looks fantastic!!

She's adorable!

Hi @disneybarbiebgirl615, I just wanted to let you know that my "Great Shape Barbie" has arrived today with the mail and lucky the doll is in perfect condition, the hair is fortunately good and especially thick rooted in the head 😃, no weird bald spots and bumps on the head so I am very happy with this copy of the doll, so another great doll to ad at my collection. 🙂

This really is not a bad video, you did a great job!! She looks great!

I have never heard of this dolls, is they only available in USA? The brown little boots looks so cute! 😍

You are so talented and your videos expanded my knowledge to my doll restaurations, Thank you very much💮 The doll is adorable despite of not matching your initial vision, I think there is something very beautiful in making a trickier to fix doll pretty again!💖

The original crop on 'Weird Barbie' actually looked very 80's to me (... well, not 'stereotypical Barbie' 80's but kinda 'Annie Lennox' 80's! LOL I actually knew quite a few women with short, spiky hair like that back then.) I envy you for having the patience to re-root!! And SO glad you didn't use glue! I've seen it eventually seep through the plugs when it was used, and it gets really gross! And yes, we perfectionists always give ourselves a really hard time. But as you said in your caption, you learn from your mistakes, and trial-and-error is definitely the best way to learn and progress. Though I think she looks super-cute with her new do! ('Joan Rivers!' HA!!!) How about putting it up into a bit of an 80's French twist and fluffing up the bangs a bit?? That would look like she actually has long hair, but it's just been worn up! LOL (You're so gorgeous, BTW!!!)

GEORGEOUS ❤❤❤

I love to watch you repaint their faces. Im NOT an artist and hate to say it but im pretty jealous of all you artist out there. You do such beautiful work !!❤❤❤

She looks great, really!

I love to see you bring these antique dolls back to life and your repaints are amazing!!❤❤❤

How are you making it into a knot? I can't seeeee T^T That could be a whole 2 minute video!

She looks great!

Just discovered your channel and love it! You are so funny and entertaining not to mention very knowledgeable about Barbie and restoration. 💖 That Terri Lee doll is stunning and I love that you get excited like I do about the quality of vintage dolls and fashion.

I love happy accidents. Barbie turned out beautiful.🎀💖🎀

It looks nice if you don't say it's rerooted it would pass for an original release of Mattel back in the 1990s.

She's beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

We’ll, I’m glad you decided to upload. She definitely looks much better and I learned a lot:) I appreciate you sharing mistakes too 💕

What a helpful video, thank you! I've tried using chalk pastels before but didn't have much success. Now, thanks to your video, I realize I wasn't applying them like makeup, I was smearing them. I also completely agree that it's important not to gatekeep restoration tips. You have a fantastic channel! Keep up the great work.

This is an ah-mazing video, and you worked a miracle! Thank you 😊

I'm actually shocked you didn't take the opportunity to insert that Hannah Montana clip of "everyone has those days, everyone makes mistakes" 😂 in all honesty if you're doing any doll restoration or customizing remind yourself it gets ugly before it gets pretty,you're fantastic at restoration so I think you're allowed to be critical of your own work and it makes your content way more relatable to the community as a whole, your videos are amazing 😍

Beautiful outfit! What one is that??

She is beautiful!! She needs a big ole ball gown now. That is a quintessential 80s-90s Barbie. Big hair, and full gown. You did a great job on her. ❤🎉😊

I love her! She's lovely. 🎉

Wow! I wish my mistakes would look like this gorgeous Barbie!!

Love that I'm not the only one who was obsessed with the I Love Lucy as a kid and also played with her dolls! My mom always wanted me to keep them in the box, but I couldn't resist lol. And you're in FL too?! Small world!!

I remembered this line from when I was 12. My youngest sister was at that age where she was leaving Barbie behind and idk 🤷🏻‍♂️ ig part of me didn’t want her to grow up yet. So in an effort to keep the imagination alive I was like let’s make a Barbie! She was into the idea and so we started looking at current ones and saw the My Favorite line and were SHOCKED by the older dolls that were nothing how we remembered Barbie. But loved them nonetheless and helped us come up with ideas on what we wanted to do. Then came the realization, we’re children we don’t have money. So that went out the window. Now we’re adults with adult money and still love Barbie and doll custom videos. We love the craft and imagination it takes. Decided to bring back an old idea and well… it didn’t go so well that poor doll 😂😂😂 it was a Titan 1967 TNT cuz we love that face. It had a horribly uneven cut, lopsided eye, and swingy arms. We were determined to fix her up only to make the swingy arms worse because it was the reproduction from this line so the arms didn’t come off like the original. Instead they’re connected by plastic through the chest. It was our first time customizing so we did and redid the face up so many times through peroxide and acetone that the head shrunk 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ you can see the stretch marks under the chin. The vinyl stained from the amount of blushing. Now she’s bald with no face, a shrunken head and broken arms in a box under one of our beds. We keep having new ideas but too afraid to try again so now we just enjoy everyone else’s craft. Your dolls have been amazing!

She’s beautiful! 😍 I love her bangs. So 90s, so camp! 😍🥰💝

I’ve been collecting for 10 years now but only recently starting to explore restoring. This is the most watchable and clearly instructive videos I’ve come across so far. Looking forward to going through you playlist and improving my skills. Thanks 😊

You have a doll friend named Shelly!?! Funny enough, there is another doll collector on KZbin/ Flickr by the name of "A Thousand Splendid Dolls" run by Shelly and her sister Colleen. Your channel and Shelly's channel is wealth of doll information and such great resource for the doll community.

she is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a middle school teacher tell me once to “never apologize for creative mistakes cause to outsiders they’d never even know” and this great video with tips and tricks just reminded me of that. Barbie people will forever be barbie people always cheering on those with the same dedication and passion for 11in miss Barbra. Real can recognize real, and I think she came out great. shes shelf ready now with a backstory.

She look great actually ❤

the video i needed! i have my mom's from her childhood and she really needs a make over. hoping mine comes out as good as yours, she turned out gorgeous!

Only you knew how exactly she was supposed to look but her hair style is still awesome! Definitely Dolly Parton or Jennifer Aniston vibes ❤

My sister had a Teri Lynn Baby Linda doll.

Thank you so much!

Stunning 😍

Thank you! I got a lot of good tips.

Gorgeee❤ This outfit is amazing! Does it have a name?

I went to a doll show today. I did get a late 90s early 2000s Barbie and her hair was in a ponytail for who knows how long. I washed her. I conditioned her hair. I did the boil wash. She’s still air drying but the bump is still there. Should I do it again? Also her head keeps falling back a little. I remember you doing the super glue technique.
