The tricks for replacing fingernails are:

line up the nails that have come off so you can work out which size goes on which finger

put glue on the finger nail area (it’s indented so you can see)

have a nice covering but not too much so it spills outside the nail area

press and hold the nail on for 5 seconds – without touching any glue

The tricks for replacing eyes are:

pull the eyes apart, without touching the eyelashes or make-up

pop the eye out and remove all the packing

scrunch the packing tightly into the new eye

pull the eyes apart, without touching the eyelashes or make-up

pop the new eye back in

The tricks for reattaching loose eyelashes are:

apply a small amount of glue to a paperclip, pin or other tool

pull the eyelash gently back and apply glue to the back of the eyelash (not the doll)

holding the ends of the eyelash and not touching the glue, press it carefully into the position you want it to stick

hold for 5 seconds and let go
