If you’ve got a Barbie doll or a Barbie lover at home, then you have got to check out these Amazing Barbie Crafts that are just too cute for words!

I was crazy about Barbie dolls as a little girl – to the extent that I still have my old collection! I’m kind of possessive about it as well, having collected the various sets and accessories over years. Oh, the amount of pleading and cajoling I had to do to get someone to buy me the latest set!

I wish I realized then that I didn’t really have to do all that – I could just make whatever I wanted! Well, better late than never, as they say! There are loads of Barbie crafts that you can make, and most of them require very few supplies. Since Barbie Day (March 9) is just around the corner, we’ve put together these 20 amazing Barbie Crafts that you’ll absolutely enjoy making with your kids!
