Wrapping Mummy Barbie

BARBIE MEMORY:

When I was in fourth grade, I had to make a diorama of a mummy's tomb, so I took my Quick-Curl Barbie, cut her hair, and wrapped her in some gauze.

 

I made a death mask out of Play Dough, as well as canopic jars, filled with fake entrails. Later I unraveled her and used her as the "mean girl" in my Barbie play scenarios.
