Make sure all the parts are securely attached<\/strong> and check that there are no splinters or exposed screws that could hurt little hands<\/strong>.<\/p>\n If the doll bed is already painted or varnished:<\/p>\n Thoroughly clean<\/strong> the entire surface using a slightly damp cloth and a mild detergent.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Lightly sand<\/strong> the surface with fine-grit sandpaper<\/strong> (180 to 240 grit) to help the new paint adhere properly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Remove all dust<\/strong> with a clean cloth before starting to paint.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n If the old paint is peeling or its composition is unknown, especially on an antique toy, take precautions: it may contain lead. Avoid sanding it until you have checked its composition.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n If the doll bed is made of unfinished wood<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Light sanding is usually enough to smooth the surfaces<\/strong> and remove any small imperfections.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f9f9f9″ custom_padding=”20px||18px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″] Choosing the right paint<\/strong> is particularly important when decorating an item intended for children.<\/p>\n Choose a paint suitable for toys<\/strong> that complies with the ASTM F963 safety standard<\/strong>, which regulates the migration of certain chemical elements from toy materials, helping to ensure children’s safety<\/strong>.<\/p>\n1) Prepare the Doll Bed Properly Before Painting<\/h2>\n
