Barbie, Barbie, Everywhere!

We love the happy pink Barbie trend sweeping the world right now! That vibrant pink color is so fun to wear and design with. It instantly screams joyous happiness. I think we all needed some Barbie in our lives right now, talk about perfect timing! 

If you are wanting to start designing some Barbie-inspired looks, consider accenting the classic pink color with white, silver, gold, pearls, crystals, and even turquoise or light teal. Think bright and cheerful pairings and feel free to use lucite and acrylic beads or lightweight acetate focals by Zola Elements—they add to the nostalgia feel.

For design elements, consider stars and hearts, these are easy to incorporate into your designs with charms and even crystals (think PRESTIGE crystal heart pendants!). Other elements to consider using are bows, sunglasses, and alphabet charms. These fun design elements add to the overall "Barbie" feel of the finished piece. 

To help with your pink selections, we have put together the Tickled Pink Barbie Inspired Beading Collection. Here you will find not only pink beads but pink rhinestone chain, pink lucite flowers, pink pendants, charms, and more. 

Here are 10 Barbie-inspired beads and supplies to jump start your creativity!
