How to Root a SILICONE BABY DOLL| My Life as a Reborn Artist

Happy Friday, my dolly friends! Welcome back to another video. Thank you very much for taking your time to hear and see what I have to share.
Today, I have a very different and long video for all of you. I decided, after being half-way completed with a FBS doll I am rooting, that I would film the remainder of her rooting journey. I worked NON-STOP from this point (half rooted), all of the way to the end (which is when her head is 100% rooted). This took me close to 18 hours to complete! Can you guys believe that!
If you are seeking to learn more about silicone rooting, feel free to listen till the end of this video to learn some tips and tricks!

In my video, I mention that this doll should be home with her mommy tomorrow. Tomorrow means, Friday, March 30th, 2018. So, this baby will arrive today, or has already arrived to her mommy.
I love you guys so much. Thank you for spending this time with me. I couldn't ask for anything more.

I am disabled and really looking into and studying on how to do reborn dolls I have nothing but time and very patient. I love these babies!

[@DiannelLaird]

Thank-you so much for sharing this video with us. Gave me a great perspective on how long it really takes to root. You put so many hours into each baby and each moment is filled with your love. 💕💕

[@lindaautry]

My favorite rooting video thus far. I have watch several. I have paid for a PDF tutorial, still I couldn’t figure out how to. So thank you for the LONG version I do not mind at all. Great job Jackie. Wish you could do private lessons in person that would be awesome. I just started reborning and my hair painting sucks. Hope rooting will be better. SERIOUSLY THANK YOU!!!! Blessings to you and Stephanie. 🌹

[@marionedmondson6191]

Your hair is perfect, especially at the temples! Could you give me your prices for rooting silicone baby,please.

[@sweetiepie8460]

I love your work, you put so much care and detail in the little ones

[@donnamcgrath5236]

Wow, so patient. I loved watching you at work, it was very therapeutic and relaxing to watch.

[@UnDunn_Y2K]

Do you wet the hair with plain water or is it a light hair gel/water mixture? Do you have a video where you show cutting the lashes and styling them?

[@tracimclaughlin6943]

She is absolutely gorgeous!!! You did an amazing job rooting this baby!!! I am really just blown away!!! Exquisite!!!

[@MelodiasHomeandGardens]

I really enjoy watching you do this... oddly relaxing... I'm falling into a trance... I'm about to do my first doll

[@nanalefevre3670]

Wow! Never knew it was so much work. Got a lot of admiration for you young lady!

[@aurorafontana4740]

What a wonderful doll artist you are. Loved watching your video. Hope one day to recreate and root hair as beautifully as you do.

[@lucie028]

Bien emballé ce beau bébé , combien coûte t-il? Vraiment du bon travail soigné.

[@156aliciasy]

Wow excellent job I watched the whole thing without skipping as one of the other commenter said it was very relaxing and very detailed I felt like I was sitting there with you where would I be able to find a full silicone doll like this and does it come without hair and then we ship it to you to have the hair added?

[@lovejones1059]

I can watch you work all day you give the best advice

[@carolannmartin1264]

Love this video, you have such a amazing voice for this as well, you explain everything. Do you take on work from people like me who are scared to try it ourselves?

[@suyung58]

Wow this has got to be the best ive seen so far as to colouring and rooting on a silicone doll. You make it look so easy rooting with the fork needle and only root one hair at a time too, mmm the dreaded fork needle, if only I could get on with these. A great job I must say.

[@barbarabrand9752]

You’re work is awesome, very nice clear footage. Thanks 🙏🏽

[@fionamorris9634]

Not only is the video so informative, it’s really relaxing some how? Guess I’m just weird. Lol🤪 I love you and your videos and watch them all. 👍

[@aaliyonnahrobertson5099]

@Godzilla 2019 Godzilla ?

[@suziesuzie9455]

That was brilliant thanks. You have made an excellent job of her hair and learnt me a lot, many thanks.

[@gaia5200]

Perfectly! How do you fix the hair if the head is not removed?

[@DeborahRobertson-h4p]

Can you wrap the baby in a blanket to cut down on hair on silicone?? Most beautifully painted doll I've seen so far!! Who is the artist? Thankyou for your videos.

[@heart2heartbabies]

Yes, you most definitely can wrap the silicone baby with a blanket. And to be honest, I have no idea who painted this doll

[@BlueRose0616]

Wow it really DOES take long hours & hard work...u do an AMAZING job at rooting the hair & lashes!!!!! Great job

[@Fazzassuperbabies]

“Rooting” is used differently in Australia. It’s not used in an appropriate way. Sounds so weird when I hear that word. Awesome video, your the best example on how to put hair on a baby doll. I’m going to use this method for sure. I’m making my own baby sculpture so I can make a silicone baby. Thanks for uploading this video. Your a life saver. 😁

[@sandrag4071]

I love watching your videos. You & Stephanie are so talented. Ya'll make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing.

[@candycandy759]

This is so worth watching ❤️, I am so looking forward to seeing you show how to too root eyebrows and lashes, thanks

[@vickiboyd2752]

Such dedication and patience you have. I lack the patience, but there are amazing artists like you so that works out for me lol

[@yvonnenettleship814]

Hello there I've been trying to get my rooting better I just can't seem to be able to do the swirl. Do you know what I should do to get this swirl and rooting open eyes kits. Anyway Thank You again

[@traceycook7136]

I have to learn this way and I’m glad this is slow ... do you have carpal tunnel??

[@amelialake4307]

You are very good at what you do it looks so real.

[@ChristiKellyme]

What product do you use to seal the hair after you have finished? Thank you so much, Beautiful work!

[@reginechanelle]

Wow turned out so beautiful 😍🥰

[@megapebbles01]

[@sheilahenderson9943]

Thank you such a great job you did on this babies hair. Very interesting about your comments using Delta Dawn on silicone dolls. I thought i was going crazy trying to root with it. Been reborning around 10 yrs but just got into the silicones so a whole new learning curve with them. Enjoyed your video very much keep up the great job you are doing. ozdollyreborns & silicones Sheila H. Australia

[@TheRebornhobby]

[@MonicaDehnert]

You do an excellent job!

[@coralhumphrey4453]

The hair looks great! Questio for you. How would you style/cut? My baby doll is arriving soon and has blonde curly hair super thick and curly and I am thinking of changing how long it is.... any ideas?

[@maribetslilangels]

Beautiful job, and lots of patience. Thank you for sharing.

[@carolynaitken7632]

Very clever I’m very impressed 💕

[@brooklynohio4369]

How can I buy a moldor from you

[@heatherduarte5921]

How did you get it to curl? I have mohair from the other side of the world and the seller said I could curl with curling iron. Is that true? How do I get it to stay? Also can u do a video from start to finish cutting from the long skein of hair to short newborn girl hair? I'm having a super hard time and you are amazing!

[@tonya-toyareborndolls5650]

Great and awesome job! Thank you so much for sharing with us. I love your work.

[@Peteypuma1]

Just a thought, would it be easier to wrap the baby in one of those snuggle wrap thingies while you were tooting her to keep the hair off her body?? Just thinking that that would be easier to clean all the little hair clippings off her and easier clean up. I don't work with silicone so I don't really know if this is a helpful idea or not. Just a thought. Beautiful rooting!!!!

[@yvonnenettleship814]

Hello yes I want to know what size needle for my Ivita doll as I'd like him to have hair. Also what type of hair should I get BIG HUGS YVONNE.

[@frienjie7148]

😂 that was the wrong question to ask here!

[@kitty8724]

Your work is absolutely amazing .. your passion is very evident in your art work .. love it !! Do you perhaps make solicone babies ?

[@lizmadson3117]

Beautiful work, very relaxing,I love your voice you should read bedtime stories for children. Here’s my question what kind of pencil are you using.Thank you so much 💖😊🌹

[@gachapiinky4409]

[@angelsuniverse6021]

[@mariadocarmoalbuquerquedea3311]

Jackie , sou sua fã de Arapiraca-AL. Deveria ter um tradutor para quem não sabe inglês.

[@sheryldollspoohlinsley8510]

Hi, Why pull out a straghn because more then on got in the hole? Does it make it style different or something? You are Very. Good. We all can learn more in whatever job we do.🤗🐽✌❤ Sheryl

[@TinasReborns]

Wow, so amazing.

[@sambetta21]

shoot wish I would have seen this I am rooting some more hair on my silicone boy and already ordered needles and mohair. I should have messaged you I almost did I spent quite a bit so I bought a multipack of needles of different sizes and then a pack of 38 g. also but I bought crown instead of the forked will I hurt the silicone with the crown or should I order forked instead?

[@claudettemonty4077]

For silicone baby, what size and kind of needles you use? It's my first time rooting and I use Heavenly Illusions! Somebody told me that they are too fine and that's the reason that in one hour and a half, I broke two needles! It was 46g 3 barbs and 46g lavender.

[@joanpalmer7654]

Great job very well done

[@kimpurvis410]

Loved this. Thank you so much!

[@tambraroberts8058]

Iam enjoying this video

[@xxoana]

omg where can i get her??

[@tafkaprincess]

Do you ever paint hair before tooting hair? Curious of advantages/disadvantages

[@shyannedianne1962]

What's the best hair to use, how long does a whole head take and what sort of needle should be used ? thanks

[@doxielvr8336]

What keeps the hair from falling out? Can it be glued the way it is on vinyl dolls?

[@nanettefranco5496]

I love 💗 how you rooting, weighing and wrapping the baby 👶. I want buy one of your work.how I wish but I’m from Asia. The tax is definitely high. 😞😭

[@BsLife222]

This video is So nice…I kept it as my reference when I do try to root one of my silicones … I’m currently looking for my dream baby & in doing so I’ve been nothing but scammed so I started buying my own unpainted silicones….. but they have no hair unfortunately I’m so afraid to trust anyone else to even get my dream baby at this point I’m gonna see if I can at least try it I got the needles & hair I just been afraid I’d ruin my doll ….☺️do you still root for others ….😉

[@photomasteretify]

Jackie, how do you only grab, put one hair in at a time?

[@ralynnphillips8621]

Does it take a routine needle or can you use any kind of needle

[@keepitketo1842]

Help please…this message is so important. For starters I wanted to refresh on how to root babies and I watch y’all all the time and when I looked up rooting you came up first. This video must be fate. Let me start with telling you my name and my situation. I’m Angel from MN, I bought a silicone about a year ago from a very good friend of mine that he got about six years ago and I absolutely just fell in love with her. She was my very first silicone baby. She had some issues with peeling so I decided to paint her but instead of stripping the paint and starting over I wanted to save the beautiful art she had and just go over the peeling but it did take a lot of paint and it kind of bubbled from too much paint so I decided to start all over, strip her like you’re supposed to and repaint her even though I know she would lose that beautiful art but anyways as I was stripping her a lot of her silicone got ruined, many times I almost threw her away but I’m so in love with her, as I continue to try to keep going it just got worse and I was just devastated. I continue to take all the paint off and just tried to fix her with silicone but she is just ruined! When you guys did this Giveaway for that adorable little boy from ivita Stephanie was talking about the Amazon babies and how good they were and I just wanted a little girl so bad so I ordered one and she is very beautiful just not my Octavia but I decided I wanted to give her hair and so I had to look up videos to refresh and you were the first video that came up and this baby. I watched the entire video and to my surprise At the very end when you were showing her she was that exact baby (of course a copy of it) but the replica of mine I ruined 😢 I couldn’t believe it!!! I never dreamed or believed I would ever be able to get that baby again but seeing this video, I have some hope. I believe you were saying that you were rooting for the actual artist of that baby, is that correct? If so, I do know this is a very old video but do you have any information on this artist of that baby you rooted, because I would like to contact her and ask her if there’s anyway she could make me that exact baby if she still has the mold. I still am in shock and can’t believe that is my beautiful little Octavia, well you know what I mean, The same baby that I owned and I would give anything to get her back if she still had that mold because the one I have is just ruined. I have cried for months over this and no other baby can replace her except for her even if she has to be another one but still her. If you know the artist please could I get the information? Thanks so much for reading all this and thanks for sharing this video. You are very talented. I just cannot believe that there might be a chance I could get my baby back..I do believe in miracles! My husband has tried so hard to help me cheer up and tell me that he will find me a great baby girl one day but Octavia can not be replaced unless it was that same baby and I’m sure you can understand that. I pray with your help that maybe you know this artist to that baby in this video, I may be able to get my baby back just a new one. Please help is you can sweetheart!! I have not been the same since this incident…I’m so unhappy 🙁 thanks again and God bless you and your wife. Here’s the video on my baby and the booboos I did! This will show you that I do have the same baby! Thanks again. Any help will be greatly appreciated hun kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmbPiKejd7dsmLc

[@thegordonsnursery7545]

Thank you Jackie I appreciate it!!!

[@michaelfoxfoxster469]

I really enjoyed this video, very informative!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!! Joann.

[@leslielee5714]

Hi Jackie, is there any sealing after rooting of the hair and eyelashes? without sealing will the hair drop easily? Thank you to share.

[@fiorellarobello9012]

What did you do to finish the styling? Did you put anything? It looked wet!

[@heart2heartbabies]

It's just water

[@suyung58]

Wow what type of needle are you using hear please?

[@ozfreak26]

I'm thinking of rooting my reborn doll since I got her as a bald baby. I will be purchasing a book, needles and premium quality hair to do the rooting. My question is if I make a mistake can I fix it? If yes, how? Thank you!! I'm looking forward to start the rooting project this coming month! (May 2018) ☺

[@llanam246]

How much do you charge to root vinil reborn heads?
