A Barbie Dollhouse

A Barbie Doll Christmas

If your daughter loves for her Barbie doll to have everything she does then you'll absolutely have to give Barbie and her friends a nice Christmas! It's not too hard to find a Barbie doll outfit with a Christmas

Right off the bat Barbie will need a Christmas tree for her dollhouse. You can make one in minutes by using a piece from a Styrofoam cone. Cut off the top section of the cone to be as tall as you want the tree to be. Use a dab of hot glue to attach the end of a piece of garland or tinsel to the bottom area of the cone. Wrap the garland around and around until you get to the top. Use a dot of glue on top to secure the end. Purchase a tiny wooden star at a craft store or just glue on a bead to make a tree topper.

There are lots of different ornaments you can make for decorating the tree. A single bead glued on, here and there, or even tiny, fake jewels. Make ornaments by cutting the ends off of cotton swabs and hanging them. Similar things include Styrofoam beads, tiny bows, buttons and even foil balls.

Don't let the rest of that Styrofoam cone go to waste. Cut the bottom section off of it to make a wreath. You'll find it much easier to cut Styrofoam perfectly if you use a serrated knife. Cut an old candle a few times with the knife to transfer the wax to it. Cutting will be much easier that way. Make a hole in the center of the round slab then glue on tinsel or small garland to create the wreath. Or, tie on pieces of ribbon or cloth instead.

A piece of red felt can go a long ways towards creating fabulous Christmas dcor for the Barbie dollhouse. Cut circles, squares or rectangles to make rugs and tablecloths. Use the felt to make a throw for Barbie, too. Use fabric paint to create simple images or glue on things like tiny fringe. Use the same technique to make Christmas dish towels or even a bedspread.

Of course, Barbie and her friends will each need a stocking. It's not hard to draw a simplistic stocking shape on to the felt then cut out two of them. Just glue them together but don't forget to add a tiny

Make all sorts of candy cane dcor by using a red and a white pipe cleaner. Wrap them together, cut them into assorted lengths, then make the bend to form the cane. These can be used as curtain tie-backs, door dcor, Christmas tree decorations and more.

Little girls love their Barbies and other dolls so they'll definitely want them to have a nice Christmas. They will, too, when you make a few cheap and easy holiday decorations for the dollhouse!

I had a dream I was in the 1950's! What does this mean?
OK I had this weird dream. I was living in a little town somewhere. I think I may have been married in the dream. I lived in a cute little yellow house with a white pickett fence. I was wearing a 50's style pink dress. Everything was bright and sunny with almost cartoon-like colors. I have never had such a VIVID dream, literally. It was a kind of cheerful, happy dream. I was making dinner like a 1950's housewife....Like Donna Reed or something. Then in the dream I went outside into what was presumably 'my' yard and sat by the pool. Keep in mind everything was like 3 shades BRIGHTER than what it would be in real life. The sky was very blue. The sun was really bright. The pool was very aqua. It was almost like I was living in a Barbie dollhouse or a Dr Seuss story if that makes any sense. Nothing really happened in the dream. I was just comfortable and everything was brightly colored and I was just hanging around my house. It wasn't a bad dream or nightmare but something about it was a little creepy. It was like the Twilight Zone or something. It was just unsettling. Everything in the dream seemed too perfect to be real if that makes any sense. In real life I am a strong, independent woman. I teach health and fitness and pretty much take care of myself. I don't have kids (I'm in my late 20's) and at this time have no desire to do so. I also live in the city with lots of friends and a BF and I am basically happy. So why then the weird '1950's suburbia' dream? I just can't make any logical sense of it! Could there be some subconscious meaning for this? Or did I just watch too many reruns of 50's sitcoms as a kid? My dream was almost like I was living in this video for real....weird I know: My dream was almost like I was living in this video for real....weird I know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p68rj879Zyg
