I like personalized gifts, home made, one of a kind and special. Anyone can give a gift card but it takes a unique soul to give a personalized barbie and ken. When I was sixteen... or eighteen, I don't remember my friend was very much in love with a singer named Greg Raposo. Being I was working at a baseball stadium at the time, funds were kind of limited, meaning I had get crafty. I'm not ashamed to say I made her a Greg Raposo doll and I was proud of it. So if your looking for a crafty Christmas idea, try my take on Barbie and Ken. Above you'll find my example of me and Ryan Gosling out for a leisurly skate.
What you'll need:
The cheapest Barbie doll(s) you can find
Scissors
Rubber cement
Face pictures
Sharpie/any tiny accessories
What to do:
1. Carefully cut the faces out of the desired pictures. A digital photo will work best so you can resize if necessary. Put to the side.
2. Slice open bottom of Barbie box using scissors.
3. Slide dolls out of box.
5. draw on tattoos, moles, scars or any other distinguishing feature using your sharpie.
5. Make tiny accessories that the person is know for. A bracelett out of a paperclip, a cigarette out of toilet paper, a scarf out of bits of fabric... get creative. The more detailed the better.
6. Slather rubber cement over Barbie's face.
7. Attatch face pictures.
8. Return doll to box.
9. Rubber cement the bottom closed.
Enjoy your very own personalized Barbie or wrap it up and put it under the tree for a cheap and easy gift.
