- At our channel @DIYDollArtist we repair and restore broken, sometimes dirty, neglected dolls and toys. The restoration of these vintage dolls can come in many different ways, some we find at shops, some are found and given to us to restore, and some just need a little love and the owner wants us to restore and then give her a new home. This video is of the latter, a lady had a lovely vintage composition Shirley Temple doll that had some very serious cracks in her composition head. She asked if I could restore her and if I would then give her home. I felt confident that I could restore the doll and agreed to give it a try. This video shows just that, after successfully repairing the cracks in her head I restored her original dress, slip and shoes. Here are some links from our channel @DIYDollArtist and some of the products we used to restore this vintage composition Shirley Temple doll.

You are my two darling brrrrilliants! Thank you!😍😍
Thank you that was so very kind of you to say😊. I must say she was one of my biggest challenges. I’m so happy with her ! I really love her, I always wanted one just like her. she’s such a gift to us!❤️🥰😉🌺
Oh she is beautiful. How fun watching. Just amazing, she is as a brand new Shirley Temple doll.🎀
thank you! I was surprised that she did look so beautiful. we are so happy you enjoyed watching the process . She now stands on her very own antique wooden display stand in a special place in my room. Every time I see her it hard to believe how she was now. l feel like it’s 1934 and I just got my dream come true for Christmas.❤️😘
Lovely♥️
@@lucyclarke3523 😊😘😉❤
🙋♀️❤️. She's the most beautiful Shirley I've ever seen! You did a wonderful makover for her! I hope she left you a large tip! 😉
If you are talking about Shirley leaving me a large tip she certainly did. Her beautiful presence in my room. I’m always going to be puzzled by dolls made from the same molds can looks so different from one another. I agree with you she is the most beautiful Shirley I’ve ever seen. But I noticed that before we even started working on her. Wonders never cease! She is on an antique wooden stand in my room looking like she just came out of her box. A dream come true for me. I always wanted one like her. That’s the biggest tip I’ve ever gotten.❤️😉🌺
@DIYDollArtist Perfect! So glad she's yours for keeps! I shared this video with my friends. 🙋♀️❤️
@@margaretlynch1494 I told her owner I would fix her and if she changed her mind when she saw her I would send her back since it was her mothers. But she said she just wanted to find someone to fix her and give her a good home and we said we would. We tried to send her pics of the doll finished but she removed herself from where we were able to contact her. So we now can’t even send her the pics . We are very great full to have her moms doll and she will be loved and well cared for. Maybe she will see the video and maybe look at the comments. We are so happy you shared the video with your friends.❤🌺🥰
Shirley looks wonderful.
Thank you. It was touch and go for awhile. We were pleasantly surprised when it worked out. It could have gone one way or the other. so happy you like how she came out❤️😘🌺
Wow! You took this old grey doll and gave her color and life, the hair, the dress, the face, all of it was such a transformation!! She is so gorgeous! Thanks for another swell video to cure my boardroom and loneliness.
we are happy you enjoyed it and also for your kind words. you will never be truly alone because we will always enjoy talking and sharing dolls with you.❤️🥰😘🌺😉
What a beautiful doll. You do amazing restoration on the dolls and their clothing.@@DIYDollArtist
@@laurenemeronek8819 Thank you I think she’s beautiful too. That she came out that way was a complete surprise to me. I learned a lot from this Shirley. It was a very rewarding challenge.❤🌺🥰
Wonderful transformation! She’s adorable.❤
That’s so kind of you to say. It makes me very happy to have her❤️🥰
Beautiful restoration!
Thank you very much, I am so happy you enjoyed it.🥰
Beautiful job as always!💙💙
Thank you for the support! We need it!💕🥰
I love watching your videos! You both do such a fantastic job. How lucky to have such a beautiful doll.
It’s so nice to hear that you like the videos. Thank you so much! I still can’t believe she’s mine for she is a dream come true for me.😉😘
Fun watch even if I only collect 1/6 scale dolls like Mattel or Integrity muses
we are so happy that you are enjoying the videos. The videos are meant for anyone not just those who have certain types of dolls. we celebrate all dolls. For they bring happiness to those who love them.❤️😘
Beautiful!! ❤ Gives me the courage to do similar head cracks. I think mine might push together on the seams, but I see yours didn't, so I will see.
what I would suggest you look at a video we made on repairing two crack in a hard plastic dolls head. Because if you are able to push your dolls cracks together some the method we used on the doll in this video would be the same method to use on your Shirley . it would be a safe method if your able to push them together some. check it out it sounds like it would work for you doll.🥰🌺
Lovely! So much work on the wig. 2 questions: do you ever just dip the shoes in olive oil and have you ever sanded and repainted a composition doll head or body?
yes it was a lot of work on her wig. But boy what a wig to work with!😮 No I don’t just dip the shoe’s because it would be just too much oil for the shoe material to deal with. Which could possibly cause problems. Yes we have sanded and repainted composition heads and bodies on quite a few composition dolls. I really like compo. dolls but it takes both Chantae’s skills and mine to do a good restoration. On this one my husband helped some as well.❤️
@@DIYDollArtist thanks for the answers. I have a Kewpie composition doll that was also my mom's but I am not brave enough to sand and paint. I will try the oil pastels though on the crazing. Good tip
Do know how to remove the glue from the sides of a mohair wig?
is the glue on the side of the dolls face buy the wig or directly on the mohair?🥰
is the glue on the dolls head and or face by the wig or is the glue on the mohair itself?
Both the side of the face and some in the mohair
Just a heads up on oil. Use mineral oil or petroleum jelly as vegtable oils eventually go rancid and give off a foul odor. I very much like that you are not peeling and totally repainting dolls that can be conserved like the big Shirley Temple.
thank you very much for information. people have told me to use linseed oil . which I can’t and others say olive beaks down in flavor but can still be used for many things. well your mineral oil sounds great I won’t be allergic to that. I started using olive oil for many things years and years ago because of my allergies. so when brittle shoes needed to be oiled that’s what I used. I guess I’m lucky my house and more doesn’t stink .I use it on my face too. can’t use creams.I will take your advice and use mineral oil for the shoes. I did mention that other's use linseed oil and that people should use what they felt was best.I will mention what you said on a video so people can choose what they will so thanks again.❤️😘
@@DIYDollArtist Museum conservationists no longer use linseed oil because they found in 50 years or more it can darken and turn items black or dark in color.
