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.
