The craft of Reborning vinyl dolls has become very popular over the past few years. Using special painting techniques and enhancements, a simple vinyl doll can be transformed into a doll that so resembles a real baby that the can be mistaken for a real sleeping baby, often with dramatic results. Stories have appeared about " fake babies" being rescued from locked cars, and TV programs have been dedicated to the phenomenon. Basic reborning methods are anything but basic. Dedication and skill is required to achieve a realistic result. However there is plenty of help at hand, online, with videos on Youtube and everything you need to get started can be found online. 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.
