Doll hook usage instructions
The Doll Sweet Doll Hook allows to a) present the doll with attached head temporarily on a suitable stand, and b) to store the doll without attached head permanently on a suitable hanging device.
Basically, the doll hook is a part from the doll stand that Doll Sweet offers separately; it's intended for all those who don't need the expensive original stand and allows to connect either the doll's body for long time storage, or to set up the doll with attached head for (tempory) display.
Please note: A Doll Stand is not included with the Doll Hook.
The Doll Hook comes with three pieces: a "heavy piece", a long "thin piece", and a connector with two hooks.
a) Long time storage of the doll's body
The heavy piece goes onto the neck bolt; you can screw it tight, and then it allows to hang the doll's body onto any hook, e.g. in your closet. This is designed for long time storage of the body:

b) Setting up the doll with head for display
The long thin piece can be screwed inside the doll's neck bolt. Then it can be pushed through the hole in the head. Attach the head to the body as usual; the and of the thin piece will peek out a bit on top of the head.
That's what the metal connector with the two hooks is for: With these elements, you can hang the doll with attached head onto a doll stand (or anything else that is able to carry the other end of the hook). These elements are not designed for long time storage but for display purposes.

Detail of the connections:
The long piece is thin enough to pierce through the fabric of most wigs without damaging the wig. Also it might be easier to dress a hanging doll.
The Doll Hook is a handy utility for everyone who already has a compatible doll stand or wants to build his own.
