Inside was this pretty Rapunzel doll and some hair accessories to celebrate the new Tangled TV series which is premiering on Disney Channel. This easy Disney craft is also a great way to use up leftover scraps of yarn – why can’t Rapunzel have some pink or purple highlights? Or some brown or tan lowlights woven in? Don’t feel like you have to go out and buy new yarn to make this craft, just be creative with what you already have on hand.įor our braid, we used up the yarn that came wrapped all around that super cute gift which we hilariously unboxed on Facebook LIVE. A double set of braids for Princess Ana? A white braid for Elsa? Red with mini seashells for Ariel? This DIY Rapunzel braid can be customized in so many different ways and you can use this same process to make braids for any princess costume. I’ve also started pointing out how handmade or well-made things last longer than some of the cheap toys or accessories she has impulse purchased and she’s been getting a lot better about not spending her allowance on those things and she often asks me to take a picture of something so she can try to make her own later on. To truly love and enjoy wearing something that you created is an amazing feeling that not many people experience – it’s easy to instil when kids are younger and their standards for what they wear are a bit freer. I think my favorite thing is the confidence and pride she has whenever she wears one of her creations – it’s something that doesn’t happen when you just buy and wear something.
