Oh, she looks so much cuter! I think people don't realize how hard it is to do eyes and wigs. I've done it multiple times myself and it's not easy! Edited videos can sometimes make it look like a breeze! You did a great job! The best advice I can anyone out there whose thinking about giving it a try is- DON'T GIVE UP! Thank you Ann for showing us your struggles and your success!👍
Thank you! I’m really happy with how she turned out. I definitely had some good luck with the eye swap, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t struggle🤣 I have the same advice! Don’t give up and BE PATIENT!!! If you rush there’s more room for mistakes. Thanks for the comment Paulette❤️
She’s beautiful! I’ve decided not to glue Dallas Doll Co wigs because they’re so tight they stay on w/o problem. So far so good and I can change them every so often if I feel like it. Dallas Doll Co is definitely my favorite brand. I love the quality and fun styles! Thanks for going thru all of that for our entertainment. Very entertaining esp when your chin gets involved!😊
I debated on gluing it down but i didn’t want the hassle of it accidentally falling off. And I know I won’t want to change her hair and even if I do tacky glue it’s super sticky so it will be easy to remove. I do really love the quality of Dallas Doll Co wigs!
Wow, you did a great job! I am too terrified to ever try to customize a doll (plus I have incredibly weak hands, so I think I just physically couldn't do it) but I'm so impressed by folks who just dive in and do it. She turned out great!
Thank you! Im impressed with myself for just diving in and doing it! It’s something I’ve been thinking about doing for so long so that definitely helped me build up the courage😊
thank you for making this video! i'm doing research before i rehab/customize my Felicity I've had since ~1997 and it's really nice to see someone refreshing a childhood doll instead of a thrifted one
She looks a lot like you! You did a great job customizing her! ❤
Thank you so much!
Aw she turned out so well!!!
Thank you!!!
Alex looks amazing! Great video :) The hard part is definitely getting those eyes back in. I've inadvertently scratched eyelids before - whoops! I'm with you on those line eyebrows. I ended up selling most of my line brow girls except for Julie and Addy because they bug me so much.
The line eyebrow only bother me on specific dolls and I have no clue why. I think they look fine on the dolls I have as I stated, but there are particular dolls that they just do not look good on😭🤣
You did such a great job fixing up Alex. I applaud your courage and patience. Well done! Thank you for sharing that with us. Her hair looks so soft and fun to style. 😃💕
Thank you!
She is lovely. Just remember that over time we all change our appearance in various ways.
Soo slay you filmed Alex's glow up. 😂😂She doesz look a lot more like you now. You're sooo brave for eye swapping im soooo proud
Thanks ash! I’m so happy with how she turned out. Mini me looks wise, Ellette is still my true mini me lol
AHHHHH SHE LOOKS SO CUTE! You did an amazing job 👏 this makes me want to give my 23 a complete makeover lol
Do it👀 your freckle tutorial is my favorite thing ever byw
Ahh I loved this video sm!!! 😆 also I was wondering if you wanted to vote in the Lea Clark awards? Votes are due by the 30th of may 😊
She looks amazing!! You were so brave to do that eye swap AND a new wig. I've done one wig, but I've never done an eye swap and I have no desire to do so. Scares the crap out of me. Please post a picture of her on AGIG (a regular post, not on your story - I never look at stories because I'm 51 years old and they go too fast for me and stress me out). I would love to see her freckles up close. Looks like you did a gorgeous job! I love freckles. :)
Beth i love you🤣 I would definitely do an eye swap again if i needed to. It wasn’t terrible. I feel like this makes NO sense but I feel like I would rather do an eye swap than a rewig…. Am i crazy????
@@nowandforeverag Oh, I love you too, sweet Ann. :) No, I don't think you're crazy at all. Your eye swap went really well and wigs have ranged from traumatic to annoying, so that makes perfect sense.
I have a JLY 23 from when I was a kid too and I was literally JUST thinking the other day how I wished she had feathered eyebrows! I dont like line eyebrows either. I'm going to try this!
Finally got around to watching this (the dangers of sticking things in my "watch later" queue lol. She turned out great. Hope you're doing well, Ann!
Great video!
I love her new wig! 😍
I’m so happy with the wig I love the style!
Omg she’s so gorgeous
You did a great job, she looks adorable! I've never done an eye swap before, glad it went well! ❤
I've been getting authentic doll wigs on ebay, they were super inexpensive (3 wigs for $20: Joss, Nellie, and Chrissa wigs). But it is nicer to buy from small businesses, I agree.
I have such a hard time finding authentic wigs on eBay! You’ll have to let me know if there are certain people that just sell a lot of them. If my dolls need new wigs and i want to keep them authentic, which I don’t plan on “customizing” any of my other dolls, I’d definitely be interested!
She looks great! Bravo! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks so much!
Beautiful customization ❤❤
Great job! Seems hard but you did it!
Great job! I love her outfit.
A tip I have learned from lots 2 see is putting the wig on first and then gluing it down after. That way you already have it positioned where you want the wig to go. And she uses gel super glue. I haven't personally tried it out but it seems to help her out
I’ll have to try that technique next time!! Thank you!
@@nowandforeverag It's no problem ☺
You did an awesome job! She is adorable!
Thank you!!
I love how she turned out, Ann!!! Great job! You're making me want to revamp my 25 that I got when I was twelve. She looks terrible and I keep her in the basement because I've never liked her look. Maybe one day I'll splurge and fix her up.
Firm believer that if you don’t like your doll give her a makeover. Do whatever it takes to love her again. !
You did so good! She looks amazing! I haven't rewigged an ag doll yet, but I do have liv dolls and I put their wigs on front to back too. Its so much easier than the way they say to, So I might just use the same method for whenever I find replacement wigs for some of my ag rescues.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that goes against the grain when it comes to rewigging. Front to back just makes more sense and is wayyy easier!
I’m so scared to do eye and wig swapping but I love to see what other people do. Alex’s new look suits her, I hope it helps you love her!
I’ll be honest it really isn’t that bad once you do it once. Yes, it’s still scary but at least you’ve done it once before so you know you can do it again. I love how Alex looks now. I’m so happy with her!
I feel this way with my #55 I got back into dolls last month and just dont connect like I used to and I think its her hair
om- she looks a lot better to be honest! I always wanted to do a eye swap but never really found the time/courage lol
Thank you! It’s not too bad. It’s definitely stressful but if you have patience and take your time it’s not bad!
Aw she's pretty
I love your customizing videos.
Thank you!
She looks good! I love 23, but my favorite part is her flippy waves in her wig. Yours looked a little odd with the super straight hair. It’s interesting that you don’t mind Emily’s lined brows, but don’t like 23’s as I find them to be really similar. I don’t love the lined brows and wish my 23 didn’t ave them, but I love her too much to change her.
I always put glue on the wig rather than on the head. It’s easier that way. I’m too scared to do an eye swap - I leave that to my more experienced friends!
I liked her flippy hair as a kid but grew less fond of it as I got older. Her wig is definitely not made to be straight. It was very oddly uneven because of the flippy ends. But I’m really happy with how she looks now! I’m so glad I did the customization :)
This is useful. I want to turn an AG doll into my OC
Alex looks amazing! i sometimes have the same problem with connecting with my jly 23 i feel like if she wasn’t my first doll i would probably do something similar lol
Thank you! I feel your struggle. My first doll mia desperately needs a new wig, but I’m not going to send her to the doll hospital because she has her dolly brain in there. I want to just find her original wig on eBay and do it myself but it’s so scary to do ANYTHING to your childhood doll
I have used a few of Dallas doll co’s wigs and I love them but yes they are too heavy… so I always have to tighten the dolls limbs haha. I think Alex looks great! I love her new look. You did a great job!
I will definitely have to tighten her legs. She’s so wobbly already🤣 I want to thin out the wig but I’m scared it will ruin it
amazing!
Can't wait to see!
So excited
i accidentally took the eyebrows off of one of my dolls as a kid 😂😂 i currently just have the eyebrows drawn on with washable marker bc i’m afraid of ruining her if i paint it on badly.
omg youtube randomly unsubscribed me 🥲 that always happens to me once in a while sorry!
I swear that happens to me too!!
How do you fix dirty fingers?? My our generation doll gets really dirty fingers and so do all my other dolls so if anyone has advice 😅😅
I would suggest mixing water and baking soda to clean them! That’s how I clean all my dolls vinyl
