Baby Bump for Barbie from Plastic Easter Egg -DIY Pregnant Barbie

Sometimes girls want to recreate or role play what's going on around them and they may want to have a Barbie with a baby bump... I thought I'd post this while we're getting out our Easter decorations, and plastic Easter eggs are still at the stores, because I used the round end from a little 1 3/4" egg. This is an easy project that only takes a minute as you'll see below.

 The hardest part may be finding clothes that fit over the bump! 

But a lot of the newer skirts are looser and do work well.

No-sew shirt from ribbon tutorial here.

This works for Curvy Barbie too:

Directions:

Cut the sides of the egg apart.

 Run a 4 1/2" piece of thin elastic through the two holes in the round side of the egg, tie knot in elastic.

Slip it over Barbie's hips.

If you don't have elastic you can use ribbon and tie it around the doll's waist.

Easy peasy...

Not just good for girl's play, it can add to our pictures and dioramas too.

I mentioned that, foolishly, I passed on a perfect pregnant Midge doll here... 

$2 and I walked away... ugh.

I have an easy tutorial for a swaddled newborn HERE.

🍼Make something just for fun and have a happy day😉
