🎀Haunted Barbie Dream House🎀 Part Duex. So last week I posted the pink pumpkin wreath I made for the front door and now I am moving on to decorating one of the pillars on my front porch all inspired by Barbie of course. Think, “What would Barbie do to her house for Halloween?” and that’s what I am going for. I started by buying a bunch of pumpkins in different sizes and 4 different shades of pink spray paint. One of the colors was called Bazooka Joe and it was making me feel all kinds of nostalgic 😜. Anyway, I painted all the pumpkins, let them sit out to dry and got to step two: BEDAZZLING the spiders 🕷️ and bats 🦇. I mean let’s be honest the only thing that says Barbie more than the color pink is sparkles. The amount of sparkly gem stones I have around this house is obscene but that’s what happens when you have an 8 year old girlie girl who loves to craft and when you spent a decade hosting a lifestyle show doing DIYs and crafts on the daily. I ordered the bats and the spiders on @amazon as well as some extra gems…because I can never have enough. 😝 I hand bejeweled 60 bats and 20 spiders. Alexandra did about 5 and said, “Yeah…I’m done”. Lol. Needless to say this was the most time consuming part of the project but definitely worth the pay off. Since I had so many extra gems I decided I would also bedazzle the pumpkin stems that I had just spray painted. I mean why not… at this point I was about to bedazzle my car. Next it was time to wrap the pink cobwebs🕸️ (actually pink tulle) around the pillar. And start sticking the bedazzled bats and spiders on it with double sided clear Gorilla Glue Tape. I placed the pumpkins on some bails of hay and there ya have it! Next addition to the Haunted Barbie Dream House is “Hats and Bats”. 🧙‍♀️🦇 Stay Tuned!!!#halloween #halloweendecor #barbie #pink #pumpkin #bedazzled #barbiedreamhouse
