How to Attach Tonner Doll Heads

Tonner dolls are a brand of vinyl doll that look similar to Barbie dolls and other teen-inspired dolls. Tonner uses two different formulas for attaching the doll heads. The first method is called stringing and is used for hard plastic heads. It is difficult to attach a hard plastic head using the stringing method. The second method is used for soft vinyl heads. This method applies heat to the bottom of the head while it is gently pushed onto a hard plastic knob. The vinyl head method is the best method to perform at home.
