How to Make Barbie Jewelry

Bracelets

• 1

  Make bracelets using wire or fine string.

• 2

  Close the wires or tie the strings with the bracelet on Barbie's wrist.

• 3

  Secure it tightly so that the bracelet cannot slip off over Barbie's hand.

• 4

  Design a bracelet using elastic string and small beads.

• 5

  Tie the elastic while the bracelet is on Barbie's wrist.

• 6

  Be sure the elastic is just slightly stretched when the bracelet is on Barbie's wrist so that it will stay on.

Earrings

• 7

  Use small beads or other decorative items (such as small charms or tiny pendants) and short straight pins to make earrings.

• 8

  Push the pin through the decorative item and into Barbie's earlobe. Do not use this method if children will be playing with the Barbie since the pin could come out.

• 9

  Glue small decorative items onto Barbie's earlobes for non-removable earrings.

Necklaces

• 10

  Create necklaces using tiny beads and fine wire. (You can also use fine string.)

• 11

  Cut the wire to the length you desire.

• 12

  Slip the beads onto the wire and twist the wire closed, snipping off any excess.

• 13

  Slide some beads over the closure to cover it up.

• 14

  Make necklaces the size of chokers - remove the doll's head to slip it on the neck.

• 15

  Try using elastic string for necklaces that will stretch when pulled over Barbie's head.

• 16

  Cut a length of fine ribbon and add one or two small glass or metal beads to it. Tie the ribbon, snipping off any excess, and use it as a fancy necklace.
