2 Minute Doll Clothes

My "Barbara" Dolls were my constant companions growing up.  They went wherever I went, but they were rockstars and astronauts.  They were veterinarians and models.  And they did whatever they wanted.  They took NO naps and stood on all the furniture they wanted.  They changed outfits whenever they felt like it and some of their favorites were the homemade clothes my Gran and I made.  The best part about this project is that it takes about 2 minutes.  No really!  And once your kid masters the art of scissors they can do this confidently on their own.  

Supplies:

Kid sock (a long one not a no show)

Scissors

Doll

Imagination (not pictured)

My favorite look was the Off the Shoulder dress.

1. The opening of the sock is the skirt of the dress.

2. Cut off the foot part of the sock

3. Cut two arm holes.

4. Dress your doll.

You can also make a one shoulder dress by cutting diagonally across and cutting only one arm hole.

Or very simply you can make a tube top shirt or dress or a skirt by simply cutting the sock to the appropriate length. ( Those lace top socks make cute clothes)

You can make Barbara a belt or a top knot.
