Madame Alexander Doll Redo/Customization

Well hello there...  πŸ˜‡
My name is Grace and today I am going to show all of you my transformation! πŸ˜„ Okay now I'm going to let Mrs. Daisy take over. Thanks Grace, 😊hey everyone it's Mrs. Daisy! 🌼Grace was my daughter's very first, much loved, 18 inch doll who needed a new wig! πŸ˜±πŸ˜ŠπŸ’œ

 This is how Grace looked before her transformation. Her hair was super frizzy because we were using a cheap plastic brush on Grace's hair ! πŸ˜’Who knew?

Grace is an original Madame Alexander doll from the Mia Bella line that was sold as a Toys“R”Us exclusive. You can see from the picture above her hair used to be longer 😭 We had to cut it because it got so unmanageable that it couldn't be brushed!

The restoration process started with a total snipping off of all of Grace's hair. There are several ways you could do this restoration process and this is how I did it.πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜‰

One way I could have done this was to plug her hair but I choose to use a wig instead that I had bought several years ago. πŸ˜… If you look at her head she has brown paint where her hair once was. Now you could remove the paint and then glue on the wig but I didn't. 😏

The rest of the hair was plucked out by using tweezers. Covering the brown painted areas in the back of the head and around the ears was a challenge which took a lot of patience. When I glued the wig it was a bit tricky near the ears so I had to do it slowly and it took me several days to complete. What a cute little face. 😊 Love the Madame Alexander face mold with the closed mouth so cute.
Grace's wig is unfortunately not very good quality as the Beautifully Custom wig on our last custom Arwen. Even if you do small hairstyles you can see some bald spots. This wig has big gaps in between each hair plug seam. πŸ˜’πŸ˜­ I know it might be hard to understand but if you own an American Girl doll and look at their wig it would be more understandable.

Grace's wig is from Britlyn Madison a doll wig shop that closed a while back. The name of this wig is called Unicorn and I absolutely love all of the pretty pastel colors! πŸ˜πŸ¦„ This beautiful wig is mostly white but her hair has streaks of light colors throughout it. πŸŒˆπŸ•‡πŸ’™ There is four delightful colors in this wig a soft touch of yellow, pink, purple, and light blue.  

 The dress is from My Life As... the doll brand at Walmart. Grace's dress is absolutely stunning and it even matches her unicorn wig and the dress is so sparkly!! πŸŒˆπŸ¦„✨ 

I wanted to share a Bible scripture with all of you... 🌼 Hebrews 4:16
"Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." πŸŒΌπŸ•‡
Hope you all enjoyed this post. What do all of you think about Grace?! Let me know in the comments down below and thanks for reading! 😘

Lord of The Rings Arwen Custom American Girl Doll

Hello everyone, long time no see... πŸ˜… At least we are back to posting! πŸ˜‰ Today I am going to show all of you our very first custom doll!!

 I wanted to have an 18 inch Arwen doll but there were none! 😭 First to create this custom doll we needed a doll with light skin, beautiful blue eyes, and a long dark brown wig. It took a long time to gather all of those items to create this beautiful doll but it was worth it!   

I wanted my custom Arwen doll to have long flawless dark brown hair with a slight curl to it. Because as all LOTR fans should know, Elfs always have perfect and flawless hair! πŸ˜πŸ˜‰ Now let me tell you where I got all the important parts to create this girl! 
  The custom details: πŸ’Ž


Beautifully Custom is an online shop where you can buy a whole variety of wigs and she even has doll eyes! πŸ’– Her shop has the nicest doll wigs that I have seen. Beautifully Custom wigs are quite pricey but they sometimes have sales. πŸ˜‰πŸ˜Š This wig was absolutely beautiful and perfect to use to create Arwen from Lord of The Rings! 

Over all I think this custom doll turned out absolutely beautiful 😍 especially since she is our first custom doll! Plus the Rainbow Lily Designs Blue Arwen dress seems like it was made just for her!! πŸ’œ If you haven't read my review on the gorgeous blue dress that is on Arwen go check it out Here!πŸ’ž  

Arwen's wig is so pretty and since it is so thick you have more freedom to do fancy and bigger hairstyles. This wig was perfectly straight so I curled it although it was very difficult. You are supposed to be able to curl and heat it up to 350°F but I found out that it didn't work.😢 If you would like some instructions on how I curled her hair let me know. 

What do you all think of Arwen?! Let me know in the comments down below and thanks for reading! 😘
