Barbie Diamond Mesh Top & More Diamond Mesh Bling...

Here's another fun no-sew Barbie top made from shiny diamond mesh ribbon. All that's required is some ribbon, a little string, velcro, and hot glue. It took all of about 15 minutes to make, and I think it turned out cute, love the straps:@) This can be a Summer Top or a Bathing Suit Top... The blingy ribbon is a blast, and I still find it at Dollar Tree today.

✂Instructions:

• Cut a length of diamond mesh ribbon approximately 5" long, or about 24 rows.
• Hot glue velcro to each end.
• Tie string (I used clear fishing line) around center.

• Cut a length of diamond mesh ribbon approximately 6 1/4" long, or about 30 rows.
• Cut a single row off.
• Lay center of single row on center of top. Wrap string around the center rhinestone on both sides to secure it to top. Tie good knot and cut ends of string off.

• Put top on doll, wrap it snugly around her back, secure the velcro closed.
• Lay straps over doll's shoulders to get idea of where they fall on the back.

• I hot glued the straps right next to the velcro closure on each end. I also glued them 2 rhinestones deep. This meant I trimmed one rhinestone off of each side of the strap.
• The top is now complete.
