Our Barbie girls costume was based on our favorite childhood toy. We used large storage boxes, paint, and loads of hot glue! After cutting and painting the boxes, we found the fonts and words we needed to print on our box.
We found the Barbie logo and the Mattel sign, as well as making up names for our individual barbie. Then, with ribbon, we created shoulder straps so we could have our hands free for drinks and such. Then, we slapped a “Made in China” sign on the back of our box and there you have it…Barbie Girls!
Total cost= about $20 each, total time= about 6 hours, having the greatest costume ever= priceless!

Where did you find the Barbie signs for the boxes?
i think that it is just the best idea ever. I’m in year 10 at school in England-London and we have a wacky day on Friday and I’m making a barbie box and hopefully it will be really good xx
