What are Reborn Baby dolls made of?

Question

???????????????

Answer 1

Basically is Vinyl. The art of making it call Reborning.

Answer 2

Reborns are dolls that are vinyl made by different companies, are bought on ebay or other places they have been repainted by an artist to look like new born babies. Some artists are better than others.

Answer 3

The term reborn dolls was created when this art form started,  about 5 years ago and all we as artists to use were children's play dolls which were stripped of paint, the eyes, hair, eyes lashes etc then repainted to make them look more lifelike.New eyes and hair were also added and a little soft body was made to add to the realistic appearance and feel of these reborns.

Today companies make kits just for reborn artists and they are vinyl or silicone. The bodies are generally soft made of different fabrics with movable joints.

So the dolls are a combination of vinyl, silicone, glass (eyes)

hair (different types) and fabric (bodies)

Cheers

Answer 4

They are made of plastic or vinyl baby dolls ( like the ones you could find in stores) and then painted, baked, have hair added and eyelashes to make them look real.

Answer 5

They are not plastic. They are created from vinyl play dolls, or vinyl 'kits'. They are painted, usually with a heat set paint but sometimes with acrylic or oil paints. The hair depends on what you buy. Most now have mohair from a goat, rooted into the vinyl with a special needle and then sealed with a water proof glue. Others may have wigs. Mohair is a natural fiber, some wigs are made of mohair, but some are synthetic. I make reborns, if you want more info I explain the process on my website under 'About us'.
