New Reborn Baby Doll Magnetic Pacifier Items Added to Our Etsy Store - Great Gifts

The holidays are fast approaching! We have been working hard to find you the cutest reborn baby doll bottle and reborn baby doll pacifiers combinations and have recently listed new ones in our Etsy Store. CLICK HERE TO GO TO OUR STORE TO CHECK THE REBORN BABY DOLL BOTTLES AND PACIFIERS OUT!

SHOULD YOU ORDER A REBORN BABY DOLL PACIFIER WITH THE MAGNET ATTACHED?

We suggest that you order the magnet kit instead. The kits include everything you need, including instructions, to attach the magnet to your pacifier and make it work right. It's not because we are lazy and don't want to attach the magnet to the pacifier for you, it's just that we know there will only be a 50/50 chance that the pacifier will work with your doll.

 Magnets have what are called polarities. Simply put, the magnet will either pull the magnet on our pacifier toward your doll, or it will push it away. If it does pull toward your reborn doll's mouth, then you are in great shape. If it pushes away from your doll's mouth, then you need to turn the magnet around. This involves prying off the existing magnet from the pacifier, turning it around, reattaching it to the pacifier with a strong, permanent glue such as E6000, and then re-gluing it.

The key to success at that point is to make sure you let your pacifier dry for a few days. It may seem ready to go within a few hours, but we have had experience in this. Many times the pull from your doll's magnet is strong enough to pull the newly glued magnet off of your pacifier. Then you have to start all over again gluing it back on. It's tempting to just use it right away, but give it a few days and your experience will be so much better! Hope this tip on reborn baby doll pacifiers was helpful to you.

How to Remove a Reborn Baby Doll's Head and Weight Your Doll

Thanks to these young girls, you can see clearly how to remove your reborn baby doll's head and add weight to your doll. Enjoy the video.

How To Make A Basic Magnetic Pacifier & How to Add Magnets Inside Your Reborn Baby Doll's Head - Adding Magnets for Pacifiers and Hair Bows

We've had many questions on how to modify any baby doll and attach a magnet inside your reborn baby doll or other baby doll's head. After searching the internet, we found two excellent videos that will help you to do this. The first one shows how to remove your doll's head and the second video shows you how to attach the magnets. With the second video, however, I would caution that you do not put the E6000 right on your fingers. E6000 even states on it's label that it causes cancer in California, so that would mean that someone studied this glue and determined it was toxic in the state of California. The glue has a very strong, overwhelming smell and it does make one light headed and dizzy, even disoriented if you don't have proper ventilation. Even in the winter time, we open doors and windows when making our reborn products to keep from getting sick. It truly has made us sick due to the volume of reborn items we produce. Many thanks to Bountiful Baby for this great video. IF YOU ORDERED A PACIFIER WITH THE MAGNET ATTACHED: If your doll already has a magnet mounted inside its mouth, there is a 50/50 chance your magnets will attract each other. If the magnets do not attract each other, you may be able to, with force, remove the felt covering and the magnets from your pacifier. Just remove them, test them, turn them the right way, and re-glue. If you have a neutral metal disk inside your doll’s head, the polarity will not be a problem. IF YOU HAVE NO MAGNET INSIDE YOUR DOLL’S HEAD: You will need to remove your doll’s head and glue or place a magnet or neutral metal disk using a glue dot (will only hold temporarily) behind your doll’s lips. Please watch the instructional videos above. MAGNET NOT ATTACHED KIT WITH GLUE DOTS or MAGNETS: Simply remove one side of the plastic covering over the glue dot. Turn the glue dot over and press it onto the pacifier. Pull the paper off. Hold the magnet to your doll’s mouth. If it is attracted to the mouth the polarity is correct. Press the magnet onto the glue dot on the pacifier with the correct polarity facing up. The felt cover has a strong adhesive backing. You can either fasten your magnet with just the glue dot or purchase glue and then cover the magnet.

Reborn Baby Doll Magnetic Pacifiers - GREAT DISCOUNTS

Our reborn baby doll magnetic pacifiers are made with strong neodymium magnets.  A small magnet about 1/2 inch round can hold up to 3 lbs of weight.  Because of this, if you place an opposing magnet inside your reborn doll's mouth or inside your doll's head, behind the mouth, our pacifiers will hold very well.

CLICK HERE TO GET YOUR DISCOUNT!  USE COUPON CODE:  REBORN right before your final checkout.

You can use a metal disc as long as it is not made of aluminum or stainless steel.  It must be made of steel because it has iron properties that will attract magnets.  If your doll has a shallow mouth, the discs should work just fine.  If your reborn doll has a deep, wider opened mouth, you will want to place an opposing magnet inside for the best hold.

Just one of many pacifiers modified with a strong, neodymium magnet.  Visit our website by clicking the above CLICK HERE link to see more.


One thing to keep in mind when you are buying pacifiers with the magnets already attached, is the fact that if you have a magnet inside your doll's mouth already, the pacifiers you purchase may not be attracted to your magnet.  You may want to consider purchasing a magnet kit instead of a pacifier with the magnet already attached. If you have a neutral metal disc inside, it won't matter because any magnet would be attracted to that metal disc.

Reborn Baby Doll Headbands HairBands With Magnetic Flowers

Reborn Baby Doll Headbands, Reborn Baby Doll Hairbands with Magnet Flower Choices

Take a look at this adorable option.  You can mix and match the headbands with any combination of flowers.  You can get any of these combinations at a discount when you CLICK HERE and use discount coupon code:  REBORN

The headbands are a stretchy, crochet look, that fit best on an 18 inch or larger reborn or other baby doll.  If you have a smaller doll, you can sew the headband yourself by folding it over to make it smaller.  The flowers come in choices of 3 inches or 4 inches and they mix and match with the headband colors.  You can see some of the combination choices you can make below.

The great thing about these reborn baby doll headbands is that you do not need to mount a magnet in your doll's head.  They are designed to work with our flowers to attach directly to the headband.

The flowers come in a wide variety of colors and some different designs.  All of the items mix and match so you can order the flowers and headbands separately from our website or you can order them together.  It's your choice and will be lots of fun for you and your reborn baby doll.

Daisy Flower Choice Colors

The picture above shows the color choices in the daisy flower design for your reborn baby doll.  The flowers come mostly with dots but the rainbow flower is just that, rainbow colors.  The centers have a shiny, fake "diamond" in the middle which is hard to see in the pictures.  You can mix and match with any of the headbands we have because all of our flower choices will work with our headbands.

Reborn Magnetic Pacifier - The Pros of Making One Yourself

Reborn magnetic pacifiers are a really hot item these days.  They are a fun addition to any reborn baby doll's accessory wardrobe.  Yet, there are many who are trying to decide if they should make the pacifiers themselves or if they should just buy one already made.

Making a Magnetic Pacifier Yourself

PROS -  It can be fun to see your own finished product.

You can order this set or individual items by clicking on the picture. 



You can have your own choice of any brand of pacifier at your disposal.   You can buy a pack in the dollar store for a few dollars.  Keep in mind that dollar stores are no longer really dollar stores unless they actually say everything sold inside costs one dollar or less.  Many times there are off brands of pacifiers that are cute and may suit your needs that do cost $1 per pack of two.  Those will do fine if you aren't concerned about getting a brand name pacifier.  Just don't tell your reborn!

If your reborn is into brand names, then simply go to your favorite retail store and pick up a set of pacifiers that you like. Cost shouldn't matter at that point, but you can get a cute brand name set for $4-8 on average.  

Now that you have your pacifiers, you need to get the magnet or magnets to attach to the pacifiers.  You typically can't go to the store and buy just one magnet.  You most likely will have to buy a pack of them.  You will also need to determine what strength of magnet you want to use.  If your reborn doll has a thicker mouth or an open mouth, you may need to use more then one magnet inside your doll's head to be able to attract the opposing magnet or you will need to buy a larger, stronger and thus more expensive magnet.  You should be able to find the magnets in most craft stores.  They are not usually sold in individual packs.  You find a pack of 6 magnets for $2-4.00.  Now you can make several pacifiers if you'd like.  You can also go online and see what kind of deals you can get for the magnets.  Sometimes you can buy one on Ebay for a few dollars plus shipping. 

The glue for the magnetic pacifier is next.  Depending on how safe your household is, ie. small children and or pets, you will either be able to use something as simple as strong, permanent glue dots where you are not worried that a child will be able to pull the magnet off or a pet will eat the magnet off, or you will want to use the strongest glue possible to prevent the two from separating. The last thing you want is to have your children or pets being able to remove the magnets from the pacifiers.  Even though reborn dolls are really collectibles meant more for older teens and adult enjoyment, there are families who do let the younger children play with the dolls.  Always supervise and there shouldn't be a problem.

The best glue for holding a magnet permanently is the highly toxic, cancer causing (even says it on the label) E6000.  A tube of that will set you back about $5-8 depending on how much you want to get.  You will also need a very well ventilated area to apply the glue to the magnet and the pacifier as the odor will linger on for a few days after you make the pacifier.

Buying a pack of temporary glue dots is a good idea too.  You want to make sure the doll's magnet will attract the magnet you are applying to the pacifier you are making.  You can use a temporary glue dot to ensure that the polarities are correct before applying a permanent glue.

If your doll doesn't already have a magnet inside it's head, you will need to buy one or you can buy a neutral metal disk like a washer which will have a neutral polarity, to glue inside your doll's head.  Make sure the metal you are choosing will attract the magnet and also make sure that the hole in the washer isn't too large or the pacifier won't stay put.  It may move from side to side because there is no metal in the middle.  You can find metal disks online as well but you have to buy more then you probably would ever need to use so check in your local hardware store first.  Make sure it is large enough and strong enough for the magnet to pull toward it.

You can order this pacifier with or without magnet attached.  Click on the Picture to Order.


You will also need to buy something to remove the pacifier nipple.  You can use scissors but they will have to be sharp.  A box cutting knife can work or even a cuticle cutter.  Two people do better at removing the nipple.  One pulls the nipple while the other one cuts.  You need to get the nipple off all the way so the magnet sits flat on the surface. 

An optional purchase for your magnetic pacifier would be felt circles to cover the magnet.   Many doll owners don't want the surface of their doll's face to be scratched by anything.  The felt cover should be large enough to cover the magnet and can be applied to the magnet with more E6000 glue.

You may even want to purchase a mask to keep the glue vapors away from direct contact with your mouth.  This is optional but once you get a whiff of the vapors, you may change your mind.

Now that you have everything you need, simply prepare a well ventilated work space keeping your children and pets far away from the glue vapors.  Get all of your supplies in one place.  Cut the nipple off the pacifier or pacifiers.  If your doll already has a magnet inside it's head, place a temporary glue dot on one side of the magnet and put it up to your doll's face.  If the magnets attract, you are good to go. You can permanently glue the magnet to the pacifier.  If not, just reverse the magnet on the pacifier and then glue.  If your doll doesn't have a magnet inside, you can put the metal washer (not stainless steel or aluminum) inside your doll's head and that will attract any polarity magnet.

Then you can either wait for the glue to dry (usually within a few hours to completely dry) and then put the felt over it, or you can do everything at one time.  The smell will remain so keep the area well ventilated.  Once you are sure it is dry enough, you can place the pacifier on your doll's mouth and the magnets will attract one another and help keep the drying pacifier in place.  Whatever you do, when you are completely finished, put all of your supplies, especially the glue, away and out of the reach of children and pets. 

Go to google and read all of the magnet warnings too.  Keep the magnets away from electronics, pacemakers, defibrillators etc.   Use common sense.

Voila.  You have completed your first reborn magnetic pacifier.  Congratulations.  Now that you are a pro, enjoy your new accessory and perhaps become a reborn accessory artist yourself!
