Re-rooting Cabbage Patch Kid












First you need to have an old Cabbage Patch or a new one.  Take its head off by cutting the zip tie around the neck and then pop off the plug on the bottom of the head. Start by cutting the dolls hair as close to the head as possible and pulling it out with pliers. Gather all your tools together, a doll, scissors, pliers, darning needle and yarn.  Thread the needle and push it into (through the top of the head) the pre-existing holes on dolls head, pull through (you may need to use pliers to pull the needle), tie and repeat (two knots will do). I like to keep the hair long and neat that's why I braided it as I went along.  After your finished unbraid the hair and cut to your style. Re-rooting this way takes a very long time, so if this is something you wouldn't enjoy don't bother.
