Changing eyes

Something I got exited about when I first started to look at liv dolls - was seeing pictures of collectors that had found a way to change their eyes. 
I read that there are, two different methods.
One of the methods is where you heat up the head, take it off the neck, heat it up again, pop out the eyes, and then put in the new eyes. I read that this method was hard, expseciallu putting in the new eyes. And I did think it sounded rather difficult.
The other method is to cut the head open at the scalp, take the eyes out and then put in the new eyes. 
I thought this sounded much easier, And I decided that this was what I would do. I decided that I would first try to switch eyes on two dolls, I wouldent mind if I ruined. And Then I would do it to the dolls I had decided needed new eyes. But in the end the thought of cutting in my dolls, made me pretty uncomfortable and I was afraid I would mess up. I allso started thinking, that the wigs might not stay on verry well - even if I gluded the scalp on after cutting it off. 
Then I started thinking about the other method,  and I liked the thought about changing eyes without cutting in my dolls. In the end I didnt know what method to use.

I told my boyfriend that I was a litlle frustrated, because I wanted to change my dolls eyes - but i didnt know what method to use. He said that if I I didnt like the thought of cutting the head open, maybe I shouldent do that. He allso said that heating the head up and popping the eyes out, might not be that hard. I agreed with him and the he sais that if I wanted he would help me do it right now. 

I picked up the two dolls that I wanted ton try it on and we sat down by the dining table. 
I picked the Katie that came with the horse, because im not too fond of her eyeshadow and because on of her knee jpints wont close completley. I allso chose the Hayden that I got secondhand becauseb she has a mark on her ear and because her hands and feets are a different color than the rest of her body. 
We used a hairdryer to heat up the heads. It took some patience but besides that it werent too difficult to get the head off and then heat the head up. 
But it was diffucult to get the eyes in, they got wonky and my boyfriend scratched Katies makeup. 
But I think that with some practice I will get better at it.

The girls are happy that they survied, even if they have wonkey eyes now.

I have mixed feelings about this - Im happy that I could switch their eyes but I feel like the end result should have been better. Im still thinking about cutting their heads open one day but for now, I will try to get better at putting the eyes back in. 

I allso wanted to say that even though I do like Katies green eyes, I allso think they are way too bright green. Next to Haydens eyes they look verry unnatural, and in the end I like Haydens better. I decided that none of my girls will have Katies eyes, girls with green eyes will get Haydens.
