Steps:
-
Prepare Your Workspace:
- Lay down a soft cloth or towel to protect the doll's face and prevent any damage.
-
Remove the Doll's Head:
- Gently remove the doll's head from the body. Most Blythe dolls have a mechanism that allows you to detach the head easily.
-
Identify the Eyechip Fastening Mechanism:
- Examine the back of the doll's head to identify how the eyechips are fastened. They might be held in place by screws, adhesive, or a combination.
-
Loosen the Eyechips:
- Use a craft knife or a flat tool to gently loosen the existing eyechips. Be careful not to damage the doll's face or eyemech while doing this. Apply gentle pressure and work around the edges.

Remove the Eyechips:
- Once loosened, carefully remove the existing eyechips from the eyemech. Use tweezers if needed.
-
Clean the Area:
- Clean any residue or adhesive left behind on the eyemech. Ensure that the area is smooth and free from any debris.
-
Insert the New Eyechips:
- Align the new eyechips with the eyemech and gently press them into place. If there are screw holes, make sure they line up properly.
-
Secure the Eyechips (Optional):
- If the new eyechips are not held securely, you may use a small amount of clear glue or adhesive to fix them in place. Be careful not to use too much to avoid messiness.
-
Reattach the Doll's Head:
- Once the new eyechips are in place, carefully reattach the doll's head to its body.
-
Inspect and Adjust:
- Inspect the doll's eyes to ensure the new eyechips are securely in place and look the way you want. Adjust if necessary.
-
Enjoy Your Customized Doll:
- Your Blythe doll now has a fresh set of eyechips, giving it a new and personalized look.
Always take your time and handle the doll and its parts gently to avoid any damage during the eyechip replacement process.
