How To Organize the Tiny Barbie Stuff


I have searched high and low for ideas for Barbie organization and surprisingly there is not a whole lot out there.  I did see one pin on Pinterest to organize Barbie shoes in the small fishing lure organizer which I keep meaning to pick up from Wal-mart but I also needed something to hold all the other small stuff that comes with Barbie like food, dishes, bath stuff, the millions of brushes, and other miscellaneous accessories.  As I was in Hobby Lobby yesterday, I decided to check out their bead organizers.  Low and behold they had the perfect size for the amount of stuff we have now and perfect to fit right on top or slide beside the Barbie house.

This is the organizer we picked up...

It's the Craft Design clear plastic organizer from Hobby Lobby and it was originally $8.99.  However, like anyone else who has ever shopped at Hobby Lobby I knew to pull out my iPhone, go to hobbylobby.com and get the 40% off one item coupon so I paid $5.40!

For this organizer, half of the dividers come wrapped in a rubberband and all connected together (sorry no picture).  All you do is unroll them, break them apart by the small connectors, break the small connectors off and slide them into the built in dividers (see pictures below).  I used all the dividers because, I knew she would need them.


From that, you just start putting in all the pieces.  I organized what she has now by these sections:
-Cups, Drinks Plates
-Food, Food, Food
-Bags, (empty), Birthday Party stuff
-School stuff, Phones, Outdoor stuff
-Hats/Tiaras, (empty), Chelsea's stuff (that's Barbie's little sister and there's more but it was being played with)
-Bathroom stuff, Mirrors, Brushes/Combs

Ta Da!

I am planning to create little sticker labels to put in the bottom of each dividers with a picture and word so she can start cleaning up and organizing it herself.  Gotta start them early!  When I have these created, I will post an updated post to share the labels with y'all!

I hope you enjoyed this short little organizational adventure and as always, thanks for stopping by!
