    Haha, I love this project. Cute little makeover. Now your girl can also change up earrings on her doll. I wonder why manufacturers don’t do that, it’s so much fun and the doll seems to like the new look as well. 🙂

    1. Oh they do do that at the American Girl salon for $15 per doll which is ridiculous. She has 5 of them and it adds up. So we played salon at our house 😉

        What? That is very expensive! You are right for doing it yourself. I bet your daughter was very excited.

  2. i have a stupid question- how do they stay put? really, i want to know- because i would love to do this for emmy. 🙂 she is getting her ears pierced soon so i know she would love it.
    thank you for sharing!

    1. The drill bit has to be just right and slightly smaller. They earrings fit in the doll’s ear really tight and don’t fall out. Good luck!

  3. Maybe, I’ll bring our dolls over to you! Hailey got her doll’s ears pierced at the AG store last year for her birthday- because Hailey had just gotten her ears pierced. 🙂

    1. You can certainly bring them down, I pierced Lilly’s cousin’s doll’s ears too. I’ll pierce Hailey’s doll’s ears too. They are due for a play date 🙂

    1. I can’t believe they haven’t arrived at your house yet. Lilly is kind of obsessed with them. Especially the ones that look similar to her.

    Julie,
    You amaze me all the time! Such an interesting post! Who knew I would love to read about doing this! Don’t second guess yourself ever – your blog is just plain fun to read!
    A big fan,
    Kathleen

    1. Oh thanks so so much Kathleen.

    1. Yeah how about it. Same here, mine ended up having dreadlocks the way I treated them 😉

  5. I bet lots of people will find it helpful! It’s one of those, “I never would have thought to do that myself, but it’s brilliantly simple!” things :).

    1. Thank you and my daughter thinks so too

    1. I have the feeling that you will need it too. Those dolls are addicting to those little girls. We’ve even done the American Girl restaurant with her, her friends and their dolls. It’s out of control.

    Who knew?! I’ll need to remember this for when Evelyn is big enough for American Girl Dolls. (It’s a day I’m HIGHLY looking forward to! My whole childhood was spent playing hours and hours with my Kirsten doll.)
