How to make a Rapunzel Wig from Yarn

 

 

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your golden hair.

 

What little girl does not wish to have

hair as long and flowing as Rapunzel?

 

Every little Rapunzel needs her golden hair,

so we are here to help.

 

 

 

Let's have some fun and

make a Rapunzel wig.

 

You will need:

1 skein - yellow/gold yarn

flowers - purple (Dollar Tree)

5/8" ribbon - purple

measure tape

hot glue/gun

2 rubber bands

2- rocks or heavy objects

1 willing partner (this helps a lot)

 



Measure your little Princesses head.

or use this handy dandy chart.

 

6-12 months - 17"-18.5"

12-24 months - 19.5"-20.75"

2-4 years - 20.75"-21.25"

4-8 years - 21.5"-22"

 

Then add how long you wish the hair to be.

 

Our wig was for a 3 year old so we went with

21" and added length to measure 60".

We wanted long hair, but not long

enough for her to trip over.

 

Because Dolly wanted to play we worked

on a table, but the floor would work

just fine for very long hair.

 

 

 Place a strip of tape on each end of the

area you are working at.

 

 

Now roll the yarn to each strip of tape.

This is were the partner will come in handy.

The rock/heavy object helps the yarn

stay in place.

We used 1/2 of a pound skein of yarn

for our wig.

 

 

Once you have what you think is

enough yarn cut the loops.

 

Cut 1 strip of ribbon the length of your yarn.

 

(I know their are 3 strips, but we perfered it with just 1.)

 

Tie a strip of yarn around 1 end.

Divide the yarn into 3 strips and

place the ribbon on the center strip.

 

 

Braid the 3 strips.

Make sure the ribbon is on top while braiding.

(we did not get pictures of us braiding)

When you get to the end tie off

with a strip of yarn.

 

Using the width of head place end

were it will meet up with the "tail"

to make a crown

and secure with a rubber band.

 

 

Secure bottom of "tail" with rubber band.

 

Now give your hair a trim.

 

 

Tie ribbon at crown and end.

 

 

Add your flowers securing with hot glue.

 

 

Now you have a wig

for your little princess

Rapunzel.

 

Cecilia was so cute she stuck her head out of

her play house and asked

"who is going to climb my hair"
