Customizing: Barbie sofa

Mar 15, 2016 20:32

I've started to upgrade my Barbie sofa with fabric tape. Best stuff ever invented! I got the sofa used, and the pink has lost its color. Which is especially a problem if you change it into a bed. I also don't like the cushions that come with it, they look cheap and when someone is sitting, they slide down all the time. I intend to do new cushions ( Read more... )

Thank you! I did a bit more yesterday, this is really so fun but gives great results. Now I only need to do the cushions to finish it.

The bed conversion works really well with that pattern, and I like the new colour for the arms. Mind you, I hate Barbie pink!

When I bought it, the parts that could be seen looked more like brown. Only when taking the bedding away I realized that it was actually pink that had faded in the sun. I haven't taken many pictures with it for that reason and thought about re-selling even, until I got the idea with the tape. When I am finished there won't be any pink seen anymore! I also absolutely hate that everything needs to be pink.

I can also turn the pillows and blanket, on the other side it is white with silver sparkly dots. I agree, the colorful pattern works for a bed, but not for a couch in a living room. My figures are more classic than that ;)

No, for a couch you need something more subdued. Though Captain Jack would appreciate sparkly dots!

How's Cpt. John on sparkly dots?

Aw man, that's an amazing difference. I wish I had still had me old Barbie stuff. I had quite the collection, Dreamhouse and all :-/

BTW, I've got some old furniture that could use some help, lol.

Thanks again! Still not finished with it all, but getting there.

Yeah, it's nice keeping toys but then again you need a huge house to store it all!

Real size furniture you mean? Sorry, I only work in miniature LOL
