DIY Draft Beer for Barbie with Clear Straw and Baking Soda

How have you been enjoying the hot summer? Barely surviving in the cruel heat? All you and your dolls need is beer!

Today, I experimented with making a miniature of beer-in-a-glass and it came out pretty good. So I want to share how I did it.

What you need

Clear straws (I used bubble tea straw), baking soda, marker (to colour beer inside), glue, glue gun

How to make

  1. Cut the straw into a length of a beer glass. Mine is about 2cm.
  2. Cut paper into a rectangle and colour one side yellow or brown. This will be beer so you want to cut it a bit shorter than your straw (=glass).
  3. Roll the paper you just coloured.
  4. Place the paper (beer) in the straw (=glass).
  5. Place the beer in the glass from step 4 on a small piece of paper and fill it with a glue gun. A glue gun will hold the paper and give it some weight. It also will hold bubbles we are going to put on top of the beer in the next step.
  6. In a small container, mix baking soda (2-3 parts) and glue (1 part).
  7. Decorate the top of the beer with the baking soda mixture and make it like the beer is just served.
  8. Cut off the excess paper from the bottom of the glass.

Shannon is already enjoying the refreshing cold beer. Cheers!
