Tangled Centerpiece

Disney Tangled theme centerpiece is handmade by non other than yours truely. This centerpiece was a special order and after googling I found no good centerpieces to kinda get me started. So only after seeing nothing but cakes I decided to go to the craft store and figure it out on my own.


Items I used: pink felt, purple foam sheets, brown foam sheets, small flowers, any round or squared base, glue gun, glue, green tissue paper, and any cylinder shape item to use for castle.( Ex. Oatmeal oats at your grocery store) I personally used one of those clear hard plastic cylinder shape thingy to put a Teddy bear in there. I'm sorry I don't know the name of it but you can use whatever you might have already at home or anything you want to buy for this project.

Now Begin:
-Glue pink felt to cylinder shape item. Depending how big you item is you might have to glue 2 pieces or more of pink felt. Allow it to cool to avoid burning.
-Get 1 purple foam sheet and shape it like a cone shape. Try it on top of your castle item you used to glue pink felt. While still holding the cone foam glue the ends together to hold cone shape. Then glue cone foam on top of the castle. Cut square shapes of the purple foam and glue one by one to create roof top.
-Cut 3 long thin strips of the brown foam sheet 1 to go around the castle (glue it) and 2 for the long way ( glue it). And also cut any shape you want for the door (glue it) and window (glue it) a D shape for the base where repunzul dolls feet will be. Glue it right beneath the window.
-Cut pieces of brown foam sheet into small circles for rocks. I found it way easier and time consuming to hole punch :) and set aside.
-Glue green tissue paper to your castle base and glue your castle on top on your base.
-Glue rocks to your base to create pathway towards the door. Glue flowers on the sides of your castle.
-Finally glue on your repunzul doll on window. I didn't try the double sided tape. You can try that or something else so they cam use the doll.

YOU'RE FINALLY DONE!!!

I did 12 of these babies for a birthday but you can make them for your princess room for decoration, a gift or to sell them :) Good day to all 
