More Barbie Head Planters

Earlier in the summer I posted the how to for Barbie Head Planters. I so loved the project that I've been on a mission to collect more Barbie Heads and give them new life.  I've been really fortunate to find these at yard sales for about .50 apiece.  Here's the before picture of "the girls". As you can see, their hair was a little worse for wear!

 

All I did was get out the handy dandy razor cutter and trimmed very close to the hair line. (Tip: start at the back of the neck. That way you can get a feel for the task and, by the time you get to the forehead, you should feel pretty comfortable with the cutting.  Just take your time.

After removing the hair, smooth with fine grade sandpaper, wash off the plastic dust, and spray paint. I am still in love with Rustoleum's Hammered Finish in Rosemary.  It gives it such a neat look and the texture hides any imperfections.  Here's the finished girls, planted and already growing some new hair!

 

 

And here's the group:

 

 

Aren't they adorable!  As you can see, I have a few extra spaces to fill. Hmmm, I better get out there and find some more Barbies that need a new life!
