Hi Everyone! I am working on my very first Reborn, Ashley Awake. Can anyone tell me why her kit does not call for arm rings? I ordered the neck and leg rings, as indicated; however, arm rings were not on her kit list. Now I am concerned that her arms will not move. Any information or advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much!
Rebecca
Her arms are too small for rings
I am not an expert but rings are optional. A lot of people use glue on the flanges for easy movement. Not sure what kind of glue but someone will be on to help. I used rings on my Levi, his arms and legs as I wanted him to be extra fragile and floppy. And I love them on him.
They will move as long as you don’t tighten the zip ties or strings too tight while assembling.
Thanks so much! It is really great to be able to ask for advice here. 
I use gloss clear nail polish and it works perfectly. I do two coats, let them dry well. I tighten the zip ties pretty tightly. After a bit you need to work the limbs to kind of unstuck them…then it’s fine. Happy Easter <3
I used to order all recommended rings, but stop doing it and order now just a neck ring (which does not fit somethitems or shows white plastic protruding further than neck). I use Aleen’s paper glaze in all flanges and they move very smoothly just with zip ties.
Awesome, thanks so much! Happy Easter!
Rings are probably not listed for her arms because they are too small and don’t have any that fit.
I put ‘super glue’ on the groove around the arm, spread with a Q-tip and let dry ‘really good’ then just tighten up your zip tie and Viola!! Just make sure your ‘glue’ is dry so your body fabric doesn’t stick!! @Rebecca55
edit to add: Be really careful with super glue, don’t get it on your baby cause you can’t get it off!!
You’re so welcome! I do love paper glaze also as @YelenaRey said. Happy and blessed Easter!!
Hi,I messaged you about a week ago. Check,your messages please. Thanks
I’ve used the super glue that has a brush applicator for years. It works great. As Lynn said - be careful to not get it outside of the groove, as you can’t get it off if you do.
I’ve never used rings. I put super glue in the grooves of the flanges so they turn easily.
