Vintage Madame Alexander Dolls have begun to deteriorate due to their age leaving many of these beloved dolls naturally falling apart as their internal elastics fail from age. Even if your doll has been stored in the box for all that time and never touched, the elastics will likely fail as soon as you handle the doll.
 
 
Bulk pack of rubber arm loops for 8 and 10” dolls. These extra durable loops stretch perfectly to the right tension for both sizes of Madame Alexander Dolls without breakage. (8” standard dolls and 10” Cissette dolls)
 
This pack contains 24 bands for those who restring a lot of dolls. These loops provide a zero waste option to those cutting paracord to have the perfect tension for the arms without having to hand cut cord to string the arms.
 
To use:
 
Grab both arms. Set one on your table you can go left to right or right to left whichever you feel most comfortable. Use the rubber loop and thread it inside the arm hook and pull to make sure it is secure. Put the arm on your doll's arm socket feeding the loop inside the body. Hold in place. Take your hemostat or tweezers and stick it through the opposite arm hole to grab the rubber loop and pull it through to the other side. You will want to clamp your hemostat or move the tweezers up far enough so that the loop does not snap back through the armhole while you attach the other arm. Pull the loop far enough out with one hand and thread the other arm onto the loop into it's hook. Release your tweezers or hemostat and both arms will be attached to each other.
