Of course this shawl can be made for any time of year or occasion.
Some of the Spring ribbon I saw at Dollar Tree...
St. Pat's (there was a solid dark green too):
and Easter:
✂What I did:
- Hold wire on one side of ribbon and push it to create a gather.
- Once you see how full you'd like the shawl (try it on doll), I'm guessing 10" is more than enough, cut the ribbon. I used pinking shears, I do think either sewing or gluing a hem on each open side would be neater.
- To secure the gather: I pushed the wire through a bead, ran the wire through the hole a couple times, and then cut the wire.
- For the other side, I bent the excess wire into a couple circles and made them lay flat. Then hot glued the shamrock accent beads over that.
- I'm using the wire to shape and hold the shawl on her shoulders. You may want to hot glue or sew a thinner ribbon around the top so it can be tied on for more rigorous doll play
Wrap around Barbie's shoulders, shape shawl and enjoy the parade!

Very cute and I love that you made the shawl with ribbon which offers so many seasonal versions.
