- 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. This is a very special doll that was given to us to restore from a dear friend. She is a vintage Ideal Toni doll, a P91 which means she is 16" tall with an original nylon apricot wig and her complete original outfit. We show her entire restoration from her original nylon wig to her original shoes. Here are some links from our channel @DIYDollArtist and some of the products we used to restore this vintage Ideal Toni doll.

How very beautiful she is.
so fun to watch her Spa day❤
I’m so very happy that you enjoyed this video so much. That means so much to us.❤️🌺
Two weeks ago I found a 14” Toni at a local Goodwill for $4.99, complete with red and white original outfit. I recognized the dress before the doll at the bottom of a pile of dolls. I nearly fell over. She’s been restrung and refurbished using some of your older tutorials. So pleased. I used a water/vinegar solution to set the red color and went with Dawn dish soap and cold water to wash the dress
We are so happy for you to find such a treasure. Chantae says she wishes that would happen to us just once.🤔😉. I bet your new treasure looks lovely now. after being in a pile of dolls at a goodwill a spa day would would make her feel wonderful 😀❤️
Very thorough spa treatment.
That was objective. Some people are afraid to wash, clean and their dolls or clothes. We thought it might give some people more confidence to clean help their dolls . After 70 years even dolls need clean clothes and a bath.😂😉❤️
Wow! That doll turned out great! At first I thought she was in good condition but now she is perfect! Also thank you for the shoe tip, I may use that! I would have commented earlier but I could not watch this entire video in one sitting. Thanks for another great video! This one was really fun!!
Isn’t it amazing what a little TLC can do. It works for dolls, animals and people too!😂 We can all use some TLC now and again.😉.The shoe tip really works they can become very brittle after all these years. We are so happy this video was fun. That’s what we were trying for. Hop all is well with you! ❤️🌺😘😉🥰
🙋♀️❤️ Lovely Doll. You did such a nice job on the dress! It looks brand new! ❤
thank you very much. what would l do without oxyclean and Ann iron.😀😉🌺
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks!
you are so very welcome. That is the true reason that we do these videos. Your comment means so very much. Thank you.🥰❤️
Appreciated as always! I've never tried soaking vintage cotton in straight vinegar...thank you for that hint. Also, I appreciate the three-latex band stringing method. I guess I need to invest in some of the ones you use!
We are so happy the video was helpful. I’ve tried other bands and ways for stringing. For me I feel it’s the safest for my dolls. we are going to try and make bands out of cording for those that will only use cording. If we can figure out away to adapt cording bands we will let everyone know. Pulling too hard in the stringing process can be harmful to the dolls. so we will try and find a solution to both ways of stringing.
On a separate note, you mentioned that there were things about Ruby Sue that made you think she was an early edition. What about a program on dating the various years by those signs. Also, I’d love to see anything on the various hairstyles that Toni originally came in. Your’s is such an informative channel. Love it!
We will try and find the information you speak of. It can be tricky because the manufacturers were very inconsistent. That’s why we get confused sometimes. but we will seek out answers to your questions.❤️🌺
Doesn’t the wig glue get loose ? I’m afraid to wash my saucy walkers hair
I have washed a Saucy Walker’s hair without any trouble. In the Judith Izen book about Ideal Dolls it says”The Saran hair could be shampooed and curled. Saucy came with vinyl curlers attached to her tag as did all the Ideal dolls of that era.” Anything is possible especially due to its age, you could try getting a small patch wet and see what happens. I hope this helps, let me know if I can help with anything. 🥰
