Barbie Bouquet

Are your Barbies feeling neglected?  Are they stuck inside while you are having lots of springtime fun outdoors?  Have about surprising them with a beautiful bouquet!  If you want, you can even let them think it’s from Ken.  That will really get them excited!

To make this one, we simply walked around our yard picking wild flowers.  It does help to have a lawn full of weeds!  Then we wrapped thread around the stems and put them in a tissue paper cone (which started as a folded circle).  You will really make their day!  Perhaps they will even be inspired to clean up their act a little.  I know our Barbies were starting to neglect their appearance.  Now they are back to neat hair, neat home and party dresses everyday!  And all it took was a few flowers!

We got the idea for flowers in a paper cone from Capability : Mom.  A great mom blogger who I have recently discovered.  I love her posts on books, food, and life!
