Make Your Own Barbie Dresses From Paper Towels!

Kayla decided to make dresses for her Barbie dolls out of white paper towels.  Above is one of her finished dresses.

 

She started out with just a plain one to practice making a dress.  She taped it together with scotch tape.  You can see the tape dispenser made a good stand for Barbie!

Kayla tried another one, and added some cute pompom decorations made from the paper towel.  She taped these on too.

She decided to make a fancier style by cutting some designs in the paper towel. 

Kayla also painted some colorful designs on the paper towel.  Here is her sister painting some too.

Kayla made a pretty summer dress for her Barbie using the painted and cut paper towel.  She also added a border made out of a plastic zip-loc bag.

Now that she had practiced making dresses, Kayla decided to paint the paper towel to go with a dress design.  She wanted an extra fancy one!

To add extra pizzazz to her fabric, she cut out some flowers from a magazine.

This is how the design looked before she made a dress out of it.

Now you know how Kayla got her dress to look this way.  Isn't it nice?

You could try to make your own paper towel Barbie dresses.  It's really fun, and not too hard!  Don't forget that your Barbie won't be able to sit down in her paper dress!  It will tear!!  If you want to, you could cut some slits in the skirt so she could sit down!

Have fun making your new Barbie dresses without having to sew them!
