Basic reborning methods The technique of reborning a play doll typically involves the following processes: The doll is taken apart and factory paint is removed. A purple color wash is applied to the inside of each vinyl part to give the appearance of realistic baby skin under tones. The exterior is painted using various techniques to add to the appearance of translucent skin tones, with effects such as veins, blotching, and "milk-spots" to resemble the skin of a newborn baby. Hair and eyelashes, usually fine mohair or human hair, are applied using rooting tools and felting needles strand by strand, which can take up to 30+ hours per head. The original vinyl body is replaced with a soft stuffed and weighted body. A magnet may be attached inside the mouth for attaching a magnetic pacifier. Additional enhancements may include a magnetically attached "umbilical cord", a battery powered heartbeat simulator, breathing simulator, and heat packs. Once completed, the reborn doll is no longer suitable as a child's play doll.
