Woman Transforms Old Dolls To Give Them A More ‘Real’ Look [VIDEO]

A woman by the name of Sonia Singh from Australia has been receiving endearing praise from parents and kids around the world with her Tree Change Dolls. She finds used fashion dolls (such as Bratz and Barbie dolls) at second-hand shops and “upcycles” them in a “down-to-earth style.” As the father of a young girl, I LOVE this!

Singh uses nail polish remover and eucalyptus oil to clean the dolls’ faces and remove their thick lipstick, heavy eye shadows and painted-on eyes.
