How to Pierce A Doll’s Ears
Let me start off by saying, DO NOT pierce your doll’s ears without first getting parental permission, and I highly recommend that you have parental supervision while doing this. Also, if you pierce your dolls’ ears, it is PERMANENT so think long and hard about taking on this project first.
Now that I got all that out of the way, TracAn posted a very detailed tutorial on piercing your doll’s ears in our forum and gave me permission to repost it here.
SUPPLIES NEEDED TO PIERCE DOLL’S EARS
- Pencil to mark the place to pierce
- Needle nose pliers to hold the pin or needle
- A thin pin or needle, make sure it is a thin one
- Lighter to heat the pin or needle
- Earring to put in the ears
Use the pencil to mark where you want to pierce the ear
Hold the pin with the needle nose pliers so that you do not burn your fingers when the pin is heated and it is easier to hold steady.
Do not try to push the pin straight in – it will bend.
If you work more from the front, you can see the earrings better and they fit their ear more securely.
Next hold the pin or needle and use the lighter to heat it up so that it will melt through the plastic (PLEASE use ADULT supervision with this part – I’m serious!!!)
Brace your hand on their shoulder and line the pin up where you want it.
Then you can slide the pin in and pull it back out immediately.
And the result:
Thanks TracAn (aka The Crazy Doll Lady – check out her cool store)!
Firstie! (For the first time.) That’s really cool! I’ve been wanting to pierce my dolls ears, but I don’t want to pay 14 bucks to have them done at AG!
Firstie! (Again.) I forgot to say that if I pierced my dolls ears, I would probably do them on my Addy doll. I got her for 5 dollars at a Thrift Shop, so if I accidentally messed up, it wouldn’t be the end of the world!
cool, but ill leave AG to do my dolls peircings.
i’d do that, but I REALLY don’t want my dollies ears to turn green
they won’t turn green if you use real gold/silver earrings on them.
Haha, I have those treble clef earings.
Stephanie…. Addy already has pierced ears… unless you want to do another piercing.
how long untill the pin is hot enough to melt through the plastic?
how does ag do it?
just curious. it looks cool.
i think thats cool and saves u $, but i’m w/ holly–i’m kind of a clutz, and i might do sumtin wrong…
no offense,but there is a youtube video on that and it is easier, but thank u anyhow!
lol pioneer!!! yea, im a clutz 2.
i make tripping on air look easy.
lena, she may have gotten a AGOT that looks like addy
Yes, I know. She may have 1, because the only difference is in the earrings.
I’d really like to do that, but what if I want to sell them when I get older? (sniffle) I hope I don”t…
Besides, my mom will never let me.
I already have my doll’s ears pierced and she always wore earring on her ear. And it didn’t turn green. Maybe it’s because I only got it few months ago.
ADVENTURELAND IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’M SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO HAPPY!
cool sallie!!
Is anyone on?
i am.
ya, holly, sumtimes i mess up with directions…..and i ALWAYS trip over my own ginormous feet! i’ll probably burn myself or somehow hurt myself if i do it at home… heehee lol!
I’m never gonna get my dolls’ ears pierced.
