Description:

I have recently found a new hobby called Altered Barbie Dolls.

This is where you take a Barbie and change/add to the doll. For instance die the hair black, instead of blond. Change her make up to a punk appearance.

I am new to this, and would like to see how others would alter a barbie.

This swap will be for one barbie doll for one partner.

No recent no sends. Rating 4.0 or higher. Please do not flake, if you are not going to give this swap your all, then do not sign up. I will be checking profiles.

You can google altered barbie to get some ideas for the swap.

Some other ideas for the swap could be to name the Barbie and send a before and after photo, not a requirement, just an idea.

Thanks for swapping, if you have any questions, email me.

I finished one doll last night. Man she rocks. I am really digging this, looking forward to doing more.

Do they have to be the barbie brand name, or can they be an off brand?

YAY I needed an excuse to pull the box of barbies outta my closest! Stop looking at me like that every 20 year old girl has a box of barbies hiding somewhere?!

I never had a Barbie, never wanted one... thinking of joining this though. On the watchlist. :)

No they don't have to be Barbie.

great idea but timing not good for me at the moment. Please consider 'round 2' for future swap -- would love to join the fun

Here is a trick for taming the tresses. If you want straight hair - hold the head (on or off the doll) over the kitchen sink and pour super hot water - like from a tea kettle - over the hair. Watch that you don't burn yourself! Let it fall in the direction you want the hair to lay. If you want curly hair - you can wrap the hair around plastic drinking straws like curlers and pour the water over to curl it. :)
