    I usually sew on the hair in a cloth doll. For plastic and porcelain, I use a super grab tacky glue, after making a wig or even directly on the doll if I am using roving. I use very little glue so the hair stays soft.

    Thank you for liking my dolls.

    I sew the hair on. Zack's hair is sewn on the machine using 4 strands of wool and sewing the figure 8. Then I sew it on all over the head and then clip it.

    Hi Gwyn, I use my my powdered rouge or a pastel chalk that comes in a little plastic box. I apply it in a circular motion using my pinky.
