Barbie Kids Dying Easter Eggs & Kelly Dress from Ruffle

Because we can all use a smile (and maybe a project or two for the kids:@)...
The Barbie kids spent the afternoon dyeing Easter eggs and everyone had a great time! My kitchen is one of the Gloria sets. The speckled eggs were from the AC Moore going out of business sale. The bendable yellow Easter bunny was a 97¢ two pack from Walmart. Bunny holding carrot decoration is a 50¢ thrift store rescue. I'll give links to DIY projects in the following pictures.

✂No Sew Kelly Dress: Now, I do acknowledge that this little tulle fringe dress requires a special fringe trim that most folks probably don't have... ~But~ something similar could also be made from 3/4"-1" ruffle or a little gathered material. 3/16" ribbon creates the bodice/straps and I used hot glue, you could also sew this dress together.

The tulle sewing trim I found on clearance:

What I did for the dress:
Wrap ruffle around doll's waist, over lap cut ends by about 1/4"

Hot glue Velcro to the ends.
Hot glue 2" of ribbon to the inside center of the skirt. 

 Hot glue the straps to the back of the skirt.
Make sure you turn the ribbon before gluing it. Please put the skirt on the doll and wrap the straps over her shoulders and lay them on the waistband, you'll see what I mean.

This is a cute little dress that basically costs pennies
using supplies any sewer or crafter probably has on-hand.

Cute!

🐰Make something just for fun and have a happy day😉

  1. Oh, so darn cute!! I love that mini egg carton :)
    P.S. We've put our family dinners on hold, too. Probably the hardest part of this shelter in place!
