Summer Fun: Sparkly Barbie Body-suits


Barbies

 

There is one thing in my house I'm trying hard NOT to do......

 

 

 

 

That is run a nudist colony! 

So, I found some inspiration. One of our girls received a barbie for her b-day that had a sparkly body-suit 'painted' onto her body already! She can even go to church without my having to dress an extra girl!  So I went to our 'local craft store' and bought some sparkles in a few different colors and the fun began!
If you like this idea, here's some how to's and pics to go with this:
 
Mod Podge 
                   Paper or plastic plate and                     a small angled paint brush
Paint a body-suit with the Mod Podge
 
Stretch Barbie out into a push-up and paint the Mod Podge on her back
Hold Barbie over your plate and pour on the sparkles!
When she's dry, add another layer of Mod Podge to 'seal' in the sparkles

Let Barbie sit out to dry, resting on hands and feet, NOT bum!

After a few touch-ups all our Barbies (and Ken) are back-bending to dry for the last time!
