Each reborn doll
created by Almost Babies by Melanie is painted in layers using heat set paints to create a realistic looking skin tone, including
veining, darkened creases and skin mottling. This high quality paint is
guaranteed not to fade or rub off. My reborn dolls are weighted using
tiny beads and stuffed with soft polyfil. This combination of beads and polyfil creates a cuddly and true to life feeling baby. A
reborn baby’s head must be supported just like a real newborn infant’s head as it is also weighed down with beads and polyfil.
The hair on your
reborn doll is micro-rooted 1-2 hairs at a time, using premium
mohair. The hair is sealed from the inside so that you can gently comb
and style your baby’s hair.
A sleeping reborn has
hand rooted eyelashes that match the hair on his/her head, and an awake
baby has whispy eyelashes carefully glued to his/her eyelid. Awake
babies also have acrylic eyes that are the colour of your choice.
