Redone Barbie Harley Quinn








Homemade isn't exactly the right term..."redone" fits better. This is an old, 5 minute craft Project Slinky and I partook in when we were living in the dorms. It began as me telling her how the official Barbie Harley Quinn looked like Barbie going as Harley Quinn, like for Halloween or something. So, we had an old, cheap Barbie with us...now that I think of it, I don't know why we did...and we redid her.

The Materials used were a black sharpie, a red marker, a photo of the cartoon Harley Quinn (for reference), white acrylic paint, red acrylic paint, and electrical tape.

We simply drew and colored in the basic pattern for Harley's outifit, pulled the doll's hair into pigtails, wrapped them in electrical tape, painted one side red, painted her white collar on...and volia! We also painted her face white, drew in her mask, and tried our best to color her lips the appropriate color. I think our Harley Barbie looks better than the actual Harley Barbie, don't you?

Sadly, my sister was messing around with this doll and the elecritcal tape came off. I have no idea where she is now. But, it's not like we couldn't redo it.

Let It Begin




I'm a crafty person. I love to do crafts. I intend to teach myself to sew. And I want to share my crafts with everyone. I give them as gifts. I do them as decor. When I learn to sew, I'll wear them. I do them as decor. Crafts of all sorts I mean to make my forte. And I know I'm not the only one. So, if this sounds like your type of thing, here it is.

This is the place to showcase each and every art and craft you could possible want to. And, better yet, share with people your genius by telling them how you did it. You could have come up with them on your own. Or maybe you got it from books like those pictured. Or maybe off a website. Anyway you do it, show it off here!

Have fun, and Happy Crafting!!
