Pierced Courtney’s Ears!

My 5/64 drill bits came in the mail and I finally did it! It was even easier than I had anticipated! Another user from this group recommended I use an awl to make a starter spot which was infinitely helpful.

I used another doll as a guide for where to put the holes. The drill went in super smoothly, and I didn’t experience too big of a drop when it went through to the hollow part which I had been worried about.

The earrings were a little tough to get in after, but they will be left in for a few days to let the vinyl harden/ stretch around them, so it was good I knew they’d be like that beforehand so I didn’t make the hole any bigger! I also pierced my truly me 28.

It was super fun and I’m glad I did it! If you’ve been waiting for the push to try something a little ‘scarier’ for your dolly diys, I say go for it!!

Courtney’s earrings

I’m curious if anyone has any insight as to why they chose for Courtney to not come with pierced ears? I’m assuming ‘cost’ is a factor, but they’ve sold dolls before with them that weren’t priced higher.

I just find it interesting because an important moment to her story is when she gets her ears pierced at the mall, and her fashion accessory set literally comes with 2 pairs of earrings!

I myself had gotten the set earlier this year and was excited to share them with Courtney & my custom doll, but then realized I had overlooked that my Courtney doll doesn’t have ear holes! I’ll be piercing hers myself so it’s not a big issue, but I just find it to be a super weird choice by AG, as I’d think it would be a selling point/ bonus for her to come with them.
