New eye chips!

Tertiary Jane was my first victim, lol. Only on side came out easily. The new chips are R9 Brainworm (Turquoise) and they got really well with her hair! These are in place of her stock blue RBL chips.

New eye chips!

Sophie got new eye chips in place of her stock blue RBL chips. The new ones are R12 Brainworm (Teal). The one on the right side gave me the *hardest* time ever coming out.

I used the ‘glue stick method’. I had my sister light a candle for me (because I’m hopeless with a lighter…) and I used the glue sticks that are used in hot glue guns. I heated up the end of the stick until it was shiny and then carefully pressed it against the chip that I wanted to remove. I used masking tape to hold their eyelashes out of the way, as well as tying their hair back with a hair tie. All of the eye chips took more than one try to remove. I used Aleene’s Tacky Glue (the original type, in the gold coloured bottle) to glue in the new chips. I’ve found on dolly forums that it’s recommended to leave them for 24 hours before trying to change their eyes (in case they decide to come loose and fall into their heads!).
