Beaded Charm inspired by Barbie and the Twelve Dancing Princesses

Paula S. Morgan
Not having a daughter, I seem to miss out on the new things in the world of Barbie dolls. Of course, I had Barbie dolls when I was a girl, and loved to play with them and the trunks of clothes my mother and I made. We also made accessories, of course; tiny necklaces, bracelets and belts. I was designing with beads on a very small scale then, and loved everything to do with Barbie dolls.

So, I was not too surprised when I saw the adorable Barbie and the Twelve Dancing Princesses all over the place this year. However, in all of the fun Dancing Princess accessories, I didn't see a single piece of jewelry for girls.

Then, as luck would have it, I was unpacking a shipment of beads, and there on my workbench sat all of the beads I would need to make a delightful little Dancing Princess of my own. Join me in making one of these sweet Barbie charms for your own special little Dancing Princess.
