DIY Barbie-Inspired Border Combinations That Just Make Sense

DIY Barbie-Inspired Border Combinations That Just Make Sense

The blockbuster hit of the summer, Barbie exudes and embodies the traits of self-confidence and empowerment. It offers nostalgic fun for older generations while opening up younger generations to the power of imagination. And sure, an all-pink classroom would be awesome, but we've included plenty of other colors in these combinations that are just as Barbiecore for those who want a more subtle classroom that still plays into all the Barbie fun. Take a look!

Vintage Barbie-Inspired Combinations

Through out the decades, Barbie has had many stellar fashion outfits, but none probably quite as iconic as the original bathing suit Barbie. Below, we've come up with some border combinations inspired this vintage look.

Our Black Stripes Core Decor EZ Border pairs with our Pink Stylish Scallops Core Decor EZ Border to provide that classic vibe with just a touch of femininity. Place the scalloped border with the straight edge out (pictured above) for a clean and simply look.

Pair our Pink Stylish Scallops Core Decor EZ Border with our Black Polka Dots Core Decor EZ Border for a more whimsical play on the same look.

For those Barbie lovers who want to avoid pink altogether, our Black Messy Dots EZ Border matches up with our Orange Stylish Scallops Core Decor EZ Border for a combination that screams stylish summer fun!

Classic Barbie-Inspire Combinations

When you think of the "stereotypical" Barbie, the image that comes to mind is probably very similar to Margot Robbie's all-pink plaid look in the Barbie movie. We loved it so much, we had to try and recreate it with some of our borders.

Our new Krafty Pop! Kraft Chevron EZ Border matched with our Pink Stylish Scallops Core Decor EZ Border offers that perfect ratio of pattern and color, just like Barbie's outfit seen here.
