Barbie dolls are so popular that almost every girl has at least one. There is no need to throw away or forget about your Barbie doll if she has anatomical problems. If your daughter’s Barbie doll has a damaged neck, don’t despair, it’s easy to repair! Here are some tips to help you fix a Barbie doll’s broken neck.
Super glue should be used. In the event that you or your child has been roughly playing with your doll, you may need to do a minor neck repair. Use some maximum strength glue to repair your Barbie if she has a small crack on her neck. A toothpick will come in handy to push the adhesive into the cracks on the Barbie doll’s neck. Make sure to press firmly with your fingers while the glue sets, this will help ensure it sticks the right way. You will find yourself fixing your Barbie often if you use hot glue instead to make this repair.
A neckband could be added. It may be necessary to use something stronger than crazy glue if the crack in your Barbie doll’s neck is larger than a slight or small crack. This can result in an eyesore that turns Barbie into the exact opposite of a couture model. You can hide a Barbie’s broken neck with a tied strip of ribbon. It goes without saying that you need to use adhesive to reattach the neck. Since the breakage is severe and because you can’t hide the unsightly glue, hide the flaw by adding a neckband on top when it starts to dry. Find a thin headband for the type of headband – the width should not be wider than Barbie’s neck. Then fasten it around Barbie’s neck. The ribbon will look like a stylish neck scarf. Complete the ribbon at the neck by tying a bow. The accessory will be permanent, so choose a nice band for your wrist.
You can replace a portion of the wrist. It is obvious that Barbie dolls can undergo many rebuilds when the older brother and other destructive friends are around. Replacing Barbie’s broken neck may be the only practical solution if the break is too severe to repair. This is not ideal, but it may be the case. You can also replace the entire top half of a Barbie, but some Barbies don’t allow you to do this. If you cannot replace the top, you must replace the neck. Use a sharp blade to remove Barbie’s broken neck and make room for a new one. You can cut enough to allow clothing to mask scars. If this is not possible, it may be time to give up your broken Barbie.
