by Tommy Thompson

Berjusa reborn dolls are becoming increasingly more popular, especially among women. What is a reborn? It is a toy doll that is taken apart, the original paint removed, and recovered with special paints and details to make it look like a real baby. It is a time consuming process but the end result is absolutely amazing.

In recent years, many of these reborn babies have been mistaken for the real thing. It has went as far as busting out a car window because someone thought an actual baby was left in a car unconscious. Imagine their surprise to find out it was just a doll.

It is possible to buy either a reconstructed doll or design your own reborn baby dolls. A popular choice for many people is the recreation of a child or grandchild. Because children grow so fast, it is such a special keepsake. You can customize the hair, eyes, skin tone, even the chubby little cheeks. You can have all of these choices and more.

Prices vary widely from thirty dollars for simple Berjusa reborn dolls and upwards of two thousand for top of the line. Do not worry there are many inexpensive reborn dolls for sale to choose from that are still of an excellent caliber. Remember when purchasing these are not toys and not intended for children to play with. They have special paints and details added that are not appropriate for small children.

So maybe you have decided to make your own reborn. You can start with a plain vinyl toy doll, take it apart and remove the paint. Or you can buy a doll like the Berjusa reborn dolls that are already set up for you to just start painting.

The next step in the process of making the doll is to wash the inside with a purple wash; this will give it the same color tone as a real baby. On the outside, different paint will be used to recreate the skin tone of the baby. Special techniques will be used to create the unique imperfections of a newborn baby.

Next here comes the painstaking process of applying body hair. The eyes need eyelashes and eyebrows. The head needs hair. Real human hair or mohair is the choice for your doll's hair. It takes a patient person to carefully put on one piece of hair at a time.

Fill your baby with what you want, depending on how much you want it to weigh and how soft you want it to be. Once filled, put your baby back together and clean it gently. You can then dress your baby however you like, even adding a hat if you choose.

It does not matter if you create your own version or buy one, they are exquisite dolls that bring pleasure for a long time. You can place them on the mantel to show off, decorate a moses basket with it, or give it away as a present to a loved one. Whatever you do, your reborn doll will always bring back special memories for you.

A lot of people, mostly women are enjoying the hobby of making Berjusa Reborn Dolls. Do you know what a reborn doll is?
