Barbie clothes
You can quickly and easily make chic clothes for a Barbie doll out of a balloon. Cut off the bottom part of the balloon.
Also cut the “bottom” of the balloon as shown in the photo. This will be the Barbie doll's skirt.
Cut a strip that is not too wide from the remaining part. It is dressed as a top.
