Easy Barbie Skirt DIY

When it comes to actual Barbie clothes, the run-of-the mill clothes Mattel makes for Barbie are cute, but anyone can have them. If you search Etsy for doll clothes, you can find some unique options, but a Barbie dress can cost you anywhere from $15 to $30 {& up} YIKES!
If you're handy with a sewing machine, or have a dad, like me, who is, you can totally make some cute Barbie skirts with just ribbon & tulle!
To make this Barbie tulle skirt, you'll need tulle, ribbon, & a sewing machine.

Making the Barbie Skirt
I bought multiple tulle colors each in 1/2 a yard. Additionally, I bought a few spools of ribbon. Pro tip, the Dollar Store has great ribbon options at a way cheaper price point. Tulle, is already pretty cheap, if you get basic options that aren't embellished with sequins or beads.
Each Barbie skirt was made with 3 ft of tulle and the top middle part of the tulle was sewed together & then sewed onto a 18 inch ribbon. If you want a really dramatic tie bow in the back, you can do a longer ribbon for a bigger bow.

You can get as creative as you wish making mono-chromatic skirts, or layer different tulle colors for a vibrant design.
Naturally, I like soft colors, so I went with a neutral tan {Skims inspired!}, light purple, & pretty green. However, Barbie is Barbie. Meaning, she has to have a pop of pink as well as sparkle. The last two handmade Barbie skirts are a bubblegum pink hue & a white sequin skirt.
Happy designing!
