Replace Hands

Just a few notes -

  •    Sorry about the small photos this was a project from many         
      years ago and these were all I could find.
     

  •   My goal when I did this project was to give a standard poser
      Barbie wrist articulation and the ability to hold stuff.
     

  •   I used hands from an 8" Action Jackson figure
      but any hands that use a post/peg attachment will work.
     

  •   Look for hands about the right scale - nothing too big.
      Obitsu and Volks sell hands separately for their dolls and would
      probably work well.

Swapping Hands on a Poseable Barbie:


1) 
Cut off the Barbie's hand at the wrist.


2)
  Find a drill bit for the Dremel that is just slightly
smaller than the peg you are inserting.


3)
Carefully center and drill a hole into  the end of the arm.


4)
Carefully push the peg for the new hand into place.
   (remember this is a SNUG fit to hold it in place)


5)
TADA! - now do the other side.
