Ok, so I have the btio doll im looking to
sell right? Well ive decided I want to
try to do some reborning to her. Here are
my questions:
1. How long did it take you to become
good at rooting?
2. Would it be easier for me to just use
a wig and thin it out?
3. What type of hair do you like?
4. What guage needle is the best?
5. What the best wig, if I were to go
that way?
6. Her head does not come of, so I cant
put glue on the inside or anything to hold
the hair, will it still stay?
7. If I dont sand it down, wouldi still
be able to see the molded hair if I were
to root?
8. How many heads do you think I should
buy as practice rooting ones?
9. Are painting eye brows hard?
10. Is it hard to blush the body on the
outside without making it look fake?
I think thats it! Lol thank you somuch!

I thought of more! Lol:
if I decided to start reborning
berenguers. How expensive of a hobby is
that?
The btio has a lot of electronics in her.
So that means I cant use a magnetic paci,
right?

I have never reborned a btio doll so I
cant tell you how easy it is gonna be...
1. How long did it take you to become
good at rooting?
-it took me about 5 not so great dolls
before I actually had a decent finished
product.
2. Would it be easier for me to just
use a wig and thin it out?
-yes, probably since its your first doll.
But they're not as realistic and if you
dont do it right it will probably look
bad.
3. What type of hair do you like?
-mohair - you can order it on
dollssoreal.Com
4. What guage needle is the best?
-i use 36 gauge felting needles, but 38 is
decent to.
5. What the best wig, if I were to go
that way?
-i have only used one wig ever, so I
wouldnt know.
6. Her head does not come of, so I cant
put glue on the inside or anything to hold
the hair, will it still stay?
-yeah, it will stay but over time may fall
out.
7. If I dont sand it down, would I
still be able to see the molded hair if I
were to root?
-it depends on how much you root, but it
dosent look bad if you do see it. But
you will need to remove any factory
paint.
8. How many heads do you think I should
buy as practice rooting ones?
-until you feel comfortable rooting, I
suggest berenguer dolls.
9. Are painting eye brows hard?
-i dont actually paint them, I draw them
on with a colored pencil. Its easier
it gives a more defined look.
10. Is it hard to blush the body on the
outside without making it look fake?
-yes and no, it takes lots of practice.
Okay, for an electronic doll you cant use
oil paints. Because you have to put
the doll in the oven and heat set the oil
paints. Try ink blotting...This takes
practice but it works. .O.N.L.Y.
.U.S.E. .V.E.R.S.A.C.O.L.O.R ink pads
because others dont come off and can
completely ruin your doll. (i did this
yesterday - i'm pissed)
11. If I decided to start reborning
berenguers. How expensive of a hobby is
that?
-100 dollars a doll for supplies is about
what we summed it up to. Then you also
have to give the doll clothes, so about 35
dollars for that.
12.The btio has a lot of electronics in
her. So that means I cant use a
magnetic paci, right?
-no, you cant use a pacifier with
electronics.
and buy that and take the classes.
Because it will really help you to know
what your doing. (the classes are
online - I suggest printing out the
lessons and keeping them in a binder for
constant referal)
any other questions you have i'd be happy
to answer them.
