Do exactly what @Leabelle says. There are also plenty of YouTube tutorials you can follow. A couple of my favorites are “Reborn with Me” by Kim at Custom Doll Baby. And Annette at Miracle Babies Nursery. There are several other good tutorials also just do a search. Have fun. You will become addicted to reborning along with a lot of other things that go along with it that I have found on this forum (loom knotting, sewing, shopping for baby clothes. Etc) have fun!

Which kit did you buy? Are you going to use heat set or air dry paints?
Get the Denise Pratt dvd it’s a great start not too overwhelming as it is easy to be overwhelmed when just getting started but you can totally do this!
