With winter holiday season just around the corner, check the Christmas ornament aisle at your
local retail stores. Craft, big box,
hardware, home decor and even grocery stores sell tree ornaments. You can find many items suitable for Barbie
in amongst the holiday decor.
Wally
world is selling these adorable faux chandeliers. I found black & blue.
They are covered with glitter and have the most charming sparkly beads. You can
make these even more charming by stringing beads between the arms. Even though
they do not light up, they still add a layer of glamour to your dollhouse or
diorama scene.
They also have these delightful trees that look like they are
made out of peppermint candy ribbons. Look for this tree to make an appearance
in an upcoming holiday diorama.
Picture
frame ornaments are fantastic too. These black ones are from Wally world. I
love the ornate details. Made out of resin, they are meant to hold a
photograph. You could put in a craft mirror, printable artwork, images from
cards or old books, and even your own photo to create custom art for Barbie
& friends.
What great treasures have you found lately? Any tips for using non-doll items in a doll setting? I'd love to hear your comments!
Thanks for stopping by~
Happy Crafting!
