DIY Barbie: winter outfit

  It is really fun to design clothes. This costume you see on my Barbie was inspired by Elsa from the movie "Frozen."
  To make earmuffs, use two tiny pom poms and cut a pipe cleaner long enough to go over her head and around each pom pom. I stripped mine to make it look more thin.
Wearing this costume, complete with earmuffs, will make the cold never bother her any day!

DIY Barbie book craft

These Barbies don't have to go to the library any more! They have got their own home-made books! You can make your dolls some too. Just cut a felt rectangle and sew a border around the edge. Fold the rectangle in half and sew on the fold.
Next make a stack of little papers to fit inside and staple them together to form a book. Glue the book inside the cover.
Here comes the fun part.....decorating!
If you have any, glue little nick nacks on. You can sew a picture or title on the front.
Happy reading!

Cloth locket DIY

   
I made this cloth locket with felt.
I printed a small picture to put inside.
You can use a needle and thread to sew a string through to make a necklace.

Cut out a circle on the fold of your felt and scallop the edges so it looks like an oyster.
You can glue a picture inside and even include a note if you're giving it to someone.

It's a good gift for a friend.
