Hannah-
Freckles are very, very easy to do once you get the hang of it. I used acrylic paints on her, but I'd advise someone just beginning to use a Crayola washable marker in a fawn, or reddish brown color. That way, if you mess up, you can carefully wash the marker off, or use acetone (nail polish remover) to get it off. A good place to practice making a freckle is on the bottom of your doll's foot. Lightly go over her cheeks and nose with the marker, dabbing lightly for lighter colored freckles and harder for darker ones. Once you've done it, it's really simple! Good luck.
