Are you planning to make your Barbie a wedding dress for June? If so, you’ll need a bridal bouquet!
It doesn’t take much at all to make a bridal bouquet for your Barbie wedding ensemble. There are only three ingredients that you’ll need to make your doll a pretty bouquet to hold on her ever-important wedding day, and today’s blog post will give you some helpful links to each of them.
Now I have to make a disclaimer statement before I go on. It’s obligatory. Sorry…

With that said, here are the three things you’ll need, in order to make a simple wedding bouquet for your Barbie dolls:
And that’s all!
Green twist tie wire is that stuff that people buy at Christmas time for tying up Christmas wreaths and boughs of holly. It’s readily available during the Christmas holiday, but not as easy to find in local stores when it’s not Christmas season. Still, you should be able to find some on Amazon any time of the year.
The largest selection of miniature pre-made silk flowers is on Etsy, but you can sometimes buy them in a plastic bag of about 10 or 12 at various craft stores. If you can’t find any ready-made fabric flowers where you live, there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube showing how to create your own from ribbon or fabric.
The wire cutters aren’t essential because most of the packages of green twist tie wire come with a cutter attachment. (You’ll see one on my package of green twist tie wire in the video.) However I think a pair of wire cutters will make a cleaner cut than those cheapy choppers on the green twist tie packaging.
And when you’re making a toy for children, you want your bouquet to have clean cuts because a sharp wire can injure a child.
Today’s video is part of a series. I’ve designed costumes for a Barbie wedding ensemble which includes dresses for Barbie and her bridesmaids, plus a nice suit for Ken.
To find each piece in the wedding ensemble, go to the Gallery Page. From there, you can find links to each outfit in the wedding set.
Ken’s suit patterns and tutorials have recently been updated, and in the latter part of March, I would like to re-post the entire set. So watch for those!
