Reborn bits and bobs

Reborn pacifiers are easily made and i have a nice little collection . Mine take magnetic pacifiers . Ive made a few of these and it dont cost much to be hounest ! Its a great bordom breaker to , and fairly quick and easy :0)

I recently brought a pack of pacifiers (4 in a pack) from my local pound land!! And some elephant themed ones from a charity shop for 50p! (again -pack of 2!) . I simply pull the teat as far as i can , whilst cutting it away as im pulling. then put a blob of E6000  in the middle followed by a small magnet (search reborn magnets on ebay ) . You can cover the magnet with a tiny piece of surgical tape / felt to protect the baby from scratching ect. SIMPLE!

some reborns have spike pacifier that are just inserted. and then theres stick/y dummys usually stuck with a small sticky pad that wont damage babys paint. And Of course those how have neithor !
The magnetic dummys contain rare earth magnets and can be  dangerous to those who have pacemakers ect . so particular care must be taken around those who may be affected! Often reborn girl dolls may have magnets in there head for hair bows also !

I love the variety of themes / colors of pacifiers and i often let my girls dress my babys gently and add the pacifier and other bits in order to look nice and sit back on the display shelf! :0)

plus theres the bonus you can "bling" up the pacifiers with gems ,bows  , ribbon ,and beads if you wanted to ! 

Although of course reborns are not reccomended for children due to being highly collectable and also due to fillings used in the doll......most reccomend age 14 and over. I point out my  small girls  aged 7 and 9 , play with them very gently , and very occasionally in my presence !  :)

DOES ANYONE MAKE THE PACIFIER CLIPS FOR REBORN DOLL PACIFIERS?
I have seen these recently , and think there great ! I am going to consider getting the bits to make them ! youtube has some good tutorials and at the moment ebay even sell a pacifier making starter kit ! awsome :)

Then Ive seen this reborn doll "fake formula" making! I havent tried this yet , but its a great photo prop for the dolls :0) and adds to the realism . I managed to buy 2 baby bottles from pound land just to try it out!!! It appears on youtube they are using "white" creamy colored washing liquid ! then covering open neck with cling film , and super glue-ing the very tip of the teat (from inside) before screwing on the lid . hmmmm......strange but clever. But also sold on ebay "Reborn fake formula" . Ive seen variations in whats used for juice too ...still need to try it out!

buying reborn clothes is a guilty pleasure of mine :0) at first it is abit weird haha, but im always looking for a bargain , and if somethings on sale i will get it! I got new outfits recently for the girls im making , just hope they look good enough to wear them!!

 This is baby claire with her magnetic paci , reborned by mummys darlings. I have since sold her and have ended up bitterly regretting  it :( She is so BEAUTIFULL! her new mummy was overjoyed however! :0)
 I absolutely love taking pictures of the dolls , and am always looking for photo props and pretty outfits :)

Yes , i get alot of jokes about the reborn thing! im no longer bothered , Its just a hobby and i dont care if it comes across as childish eithor ! heard it all , and still love these dolls :0)  And i know alot of people who share my passion around the world. Isnt she the cutest little thing?!!!
