Barbie's Hat & Shoe Boutiques

 This Christmas gift for my granddaughter has been one of my favorite projects in recent months! I hope she has as much fun playing with it as I've had making it for her.  

I created several felt hats for her Barbie dolls. I was inspired by a similar project I found on YouTube and created the pattern in Cricut Design Space. I cut the felt with my Cricut Maker and rotary blade. The fun really started once the hat was assembled because there is literally no end to the possibilities of embellishing these little cuties!  

Here are a few of them that I embellished with Eyelet Outlet products.


For this one I used a little green organza ribbon and an Eyelet Outlet Stitched Flower.brad.


This red hat became quite fancy when I added Eyelet Outlet Fancy Long Bling in Clear and Pearl.


The black Pearl Bling Strips were a wonderful complement to the little tulle and pearl embellishment that I had in my stash. 


This small blue and silver pearl brad was the perfect center for my felt flower.

I used my Cricut to create a gift box for the hats that also serves as a play prop.


And since I was also gifting a package of Barbie shoes, why not make a box for them as well!


The Eyelet Outlet Shoe & Purse brads were perfect in the window of my Boutique Box!


If you are a Cricut crafter and are interested in creating this project for a little one in your life, stop by my profile in Cricut Design Space for the full file for hat and boxes as well as complete instructions. 

NOTE:  Eyelet Outlet brads are not recommended for children younger than 8 years old.
