Hi, I bought a doll from craigslist and she is in pretty bad condition. Her elastic is like a thread. This is a big help, thanks for the good idea!!!!

From, Ali

[frankiedolls2]

ti get the other half white dome out, a friend of mine recommends a hemostat (looks like a scissors tweezer combo with an angle to the business end). I think you can get them from a medical supply store. havent checked.

[21Crazies]

LOVE IT!!!!! My friend did it for me and she did a wonderful job she re-curled her hair too You are awesome sarah!!!

[PINKDSICHANNEL]

wow. Ur smart

[PINKDSICHANNEL]

I

Im

[davonnw]

Very helpful!  We were able to restring an arm in minimal time. Thank you for your video. You are a very resourceful young lady!

[PrincessVoldemort]

@ElisaFawn Watch her tutorial on how to replace the doll's neck string.

[ElisaFawn]

my bitty baby's string (around her neck) fell out, so her head won't stay on. how to you re-string that?

[butterfly5718]

I'm left handed too! WOW! Noone I know is left handed besides a few people! LOL

[YoFantasy01]

I put my doll's leg over a pan of boiling water, and it worked too :D

[THELIBBYSHOWrules]

how many brass washers do you need?

[nadiaalinadancer1997]

on my doll there was only one metal piece....i think that some dolls have been to the doll hospital and that is how they fix them there....

[soprovideos]

HELP my friend pulled my dolls leg of and now my samantha has only one leg! but I lost the white cone ! shes a white bodied pre mattel and I dont want to send her to the doll hospilal

[Iceybreeze411]

will bronze work on the doll??

[1webkinzfan1000]

my sister isn't the best doll-carer. she held my samantha by her legs and drops her a lot. my dad made her pay for the doll hospital, but i didn't tell her how i did this and saved money. hehe

[abbylopez1010]

i have the same dress for my just like you doll number 19

[midnightmoonwitch]

well i live in the uk, and it is literally impossible to find the brass inserts your talking about. D:

[motoman9477]

@midnightmoonwitch you could try to order them from the stores website...

[AGfan6899]

U R awesome my dad gave me his tools and i fixed my nellie doll!!!!!!!

and btw where do you get ouchless rubberbands?

[aslywr]

I am a huge fan of you

[mimimaya123]

Thw\e first time u did this, was it creepy to see her head off?

[Colorwheel248]

Same with my kits stringy leg

[americangirllover300]

its scary watching doll surgury! my dolls ran away!! lol!

[americangirllover300]

ur amazing!!

[hollsParadisco]

you shoulda used plyers for taking the white plastic out of the leg :) the tweezers are quite weak so they won't hold on a much as plyers would :)

xxxx

[cocoanut11]

hey sara i had to tighten my dolls limbs and there was no gold metal thinging ma bobber

[12345frogs]

my doll is a mess

[Luv2SkiSquaw]

I love your channel. I am a fellow stop motion person. I only have one video though!!

[traceyjful]

so are there any strings inside the doll that connect to the legs

[saraonthefly]

I wonder if a pair of nursing clamps would work better....

[Sammybammy345]

I tried doing that it works!!!!! Thank u so so much ok ok so me and my mom were trying to fix my AG but we broke it more so than I wached ur video and I did it!!!! It would have cost alot of money to bring her to the American girl doll hospital so thanks!!! ; )

[Natila09]

this is scary i am 9

[GTRJoe]

wat did you do to her seriously

[123agdolllover]

i really like your how to vids

[rld90]

A tip for anybody wanting to do this, I found that miniature bungee cord works better than the hair elastic; the hair elastic was really stretchy and didn't hold as well as I'd thought, but the miniature bungee cord is about as strong and sturdy as the original cord inside the doll. You can get it at Lowe's I believe.

[kitkatag019]

my samantha doll leg broke a few weeks ago but we wouldn't have been able to do this because the string on her leg snapped. oh well.

[agdollag]

thank you i wached your video one day and i tried it and it worked so heres an extra thanks

[kimi5564]

I started to restring one of my daughter's dolls, but the hole to the inside limb part is about 1/4 the size shown in your video. Have they made them so we can no longer repair on our own?

[pullipcollectersclub]

probably so they can make more money at the doll hospital

[AamyRoz]

u need to add me as a freind so i can talk about her head falling off PLEASE READ

[marshdalegirlag]

scary awsome

[AamyRoz]

i keep tring but here headjust falls off what should i do?

[03rox]

what do u mean?? like u cant get it tight enough?

[Bratzlover5]

you know my couzin is 29 or 30 and still plays with dolls there is no problem with your age!

[Webkinzrocks400]

i'm 16, and i love ag dolls!!

[ylmoha01]

thank you!!!

now i can reattach samantha's leg!!!!!

[AGDollCollector]

i am left handed too

[Puppylovers2000]

I'M SO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O sad!! I have to send my beloved doll, Dakota to the Doll Hospital this week!!! I'll miss her SO much! Do you know how long they keep her?? <3

[cutiepooty20091]

one week or so

[ylmoha01]

2 weeks also why!!!!!?????

[lilachico]

the crimping tool is actually called pliers not to hurt youre feelings

[manixpwns12]

I'm lefty too!

My doll rebecca's arm is hanging by 3 strings. I'm not sure if i should do the re-stringing thing or should one of my parents do it? (my parents really don't want too lol) I'm 15 but i'm scared if i stuff the whole thing. btw i'm getting the new doll your getting too!!!

[Lily0x0]

i wish i was you. your so clever.

[nadiaalinadancer1997]

iI KNOW HOW IT HAPPENS! IF YOU TWIST HER ARM AROUND IN A CIRCLE

THEN THE STRINGS WILL GET ALL TWISTED UP AND WEAK AND THEY WILL BREAK!

[AGFANTASY01]

ac tually ALL her limbs fell off 3 years ago!

[AGFANTASY01]

what website did you find it on?plz

[foreverhollister1]

I love ur videos u r so awsome. what should my first video be. I have Gwen. I can make a video with her or without but do u know what I should make my first video be?

[krazykoolness]

[KiyoKenshin]

you're left handed? Me too! Go lefties!!

[Architha02]

your smart

[tamadude123]

Either you know your way around the internet, or you know how to figure thins out really easily! You know everything about what to do with American Girls! By the way, YOU ARE SERIOUSLY BRAVE!

[pheelyfan1]

Hi! I'm 10 years old and i would just like to let you know that i am hopefully re-stringing Lindsey by the end of this month! My daddy has a crimper and pliers, and a hairdryer, haha. Next time me and him go to home depot / lowes we will get the inserts. :)

[m6mkk]

gitting the white thing is like a claw game

[VintageSodaPop]

wow girl you got nerve.

[thecrazystaceyshow]

ya she does!

[Webk1nz]

YA she does! dude when I took off my doll's head in order to let my mom put on her homemade doll dress and when i saw her head unattached from her body i was like O_O and i was/kinda still am haunted xO

[Nd2pwn]

haha i'm sorry i just find it kind of funny that people watch video's on american girl dolls

[americanreeses96]

I thought you sent Kit to the hospital

[sk8tergirl7251]

i'm too scared to do that. i can't handle seeing my doll all with the pieces out. it just wants to make me cry for some reason. I love my dolls

[muffinpie1999]

how do u know all this

[webstar555]

great idea!

That looks soo soo sooo hard taking the white piece out :/

lol

[stephenswodadancer]

ya lol it was pretty frustrating :)

[nadiaalinadancer1997]

@webstar555 mine came out very easy....i didnt even have to blow dry it! :D I just pulled it right out! :D lucky me! but on the other dolls i've done, it was hard... :D

[AmericanGirlVideos6]

LOL it's kinda like surgery! Thanx sooo much for all ur helpful how to vids! I just recently re wigged one of my dolls with help from you! Thanx so much! ^_^

[stephenswodadancer]

no way really?!?! which one? what wig did you put on her?

[Sophia9822]

your smart

[AmericanGirlBroadway]

lol my kit is brand new, but my josefina could use this! would it work if the leg's completely fallen off?

[webkinz313]

ya it should if u have all of the peices

[stephenswodadancer]

yep! remember my kits leg was all the way off too :)

[agprincess013]

one of my dolls has pretty loose legs, but i dont want to do this because i dont want to mess up and i dont want to send her to the hospital becuase 1. it is expensive and 2. the doll hasshort bangs and i dont want them to replace the head because they think i want her perfect.

[webkinz313]

if u send her with a note on what u want done and not done they will most likely do what u say because i called them and asked if u can ask for spacific things done

[cuddlekinz9867]

thanks

[pinkconverse44]

wow! Kit's leg looked kinda like a really loose tooth!! LOl OMG

[stephenswodadancer]

lol it did!!! i never thought of it like that lol!

[SamanthaParkington11]

Ohh My Gosh!!!! That is so freaky!!! But I know how to take out their eyes!!! But I have to ask my mom one more time and I'll reply!! Love SamanthaParkington11!!! P.S. Check Out My Site!!

[disneymaniafreak1]

where is part 2?

[disneyprince56]

where's the part 2?

[Reykagirl]

awesome! i knew how to do that like 4 yrs ago! thats awesome! but do mine WAAAAAAAAAYYYYY diffrently

[ally221a]

i have the exact same pliers as u for my jewlery i make earings necklaces braclets and more

[AmericanGirl778]

awesom we fixed Nellies head back in February it fell off ;( any way I mentioned you in my newest video shout outs.

[xKambreenKitx]

wow! so cool!!

i just thought of something: after u cut off the elastic thingys, why not use the brass peices that came with the doll instead of buying them?

[stephenswodadancer]

cuz they are already pinched to the other elastic so it would be almost impossible to get them off. but i thought of that too :)

[BlondeFlower22]

Now...did I tell you or did I tell you!  I'm so happy that you took my advice! ^_^

[stephenswodadancer]

yes!!! your freakin awesome! i am glad i took it too and looked into it! cuz i saved myself sooooooo much money and im sure ill save a lot in the future too :) the only thing i cant fix on them now is their eyes but thats ok AG is paying for that anyways haha!!

[BlondeFlower22]

What's wrong with their eyes? Poor things. And...I'm so glad I could help you look into something like this. People put thumbs down on my comment. But w/e, I ignore that. I'm so glad you are happy with your dolls. ^_^

[stephenswodadancer]

i know i hate when people do that to peoples comments on my videos unless its like a mean hate comment or something like that. its really frustrating sometimes ill find someone who goes through and thumbs down like 10 of my comments or something for no reason and they are all nice comments. i wish there was a way that i could see who was doing it. and deziree's eyelashes retracted on one eye. you can see a pic on my ag dolls behaving badly vid :)

[BlondeFlower22]

Yea, it's a "factory flaw" they fix it for free most of the time right? Well that's what I thought. Poor Deziree. I heard you could try tweezers and trying to fix them but it doesn't always work. Maybe you could look into it and give it a whirl before you send her off.

[stephenswodadancer]

ya they are supposed to fix it for free. but apparently they dont have a doll hospital drop off at the MOA so im pretty bummed. but i have tried tweezers but there is no getting in her eye socket with anything thicker then a finger nail lol

[BlondeFlower22]

Oh, that sucks. Yea, I watched the video and I saw it. And I hope you get her fixed. Did this just happen recently?

[xobridget96]

"HA the little white piece!!

LMAO!!

awesome vid!!

[agdollfan09]

Cool

[thelookofmakeup]

awesome :D you know so much about american girl dollS!

[Anneboo10]

Awesome =D
