Please note: I have never damaged a doll or her eyes by doing this, however if you have dry, rough or oily skin, it wouldprobably be best for you to wear some soft gloves, or to first cover your fingers with a small piece of fabric or tissue. Sometimes it can be quite a push, but I haven’t found an easier or more efficient way. The way I find easiest to do this is to poke the eyes and press them until they fall out of the glue and rattle around in the back of the head. Otherwise those eyes aren’t ever coming out.įirst thing you need to do is get the eyes out to avoid damaging them in the glue removal process. It is the devil and I hate removing it, but sooner or later it needs to be done. When you first pop open a Volks head, this is the sight that greets you.

If you don’t already know how to remove your dolls head, please check here (guide for resin heads coming soon!) The hot glue is a mega pain to remove so the first few steps of this tutorial will also show how to remove hot glue from a dolls head. Some companies however, most notoriously, Volks, use hot glue to secure the dolls eyes in place. If this is the case then it is very easy to just pick out the eyes, remove the putty, then put new eyes in. If you are lucky, when you buy a doll, its eyes will have been fixed in by using putty of some sort. There are lots of eye changing tutorials and how to’s out there, but I don’t want to plagiarise anyone else’s work, so I have taken my own photos and compiled the following guide myself. A question often asked or wondered about by newcomers to the world of dollfie/bjd is how do you change the dolls eyes? It’s ok to explain it, but it can be hard to know what to do without ever seeing it before.
