DIY Rapunzel Ears

Written by: Christina | May 2, 2022

How fun are these ears?! I love something that you can wear to the parks that starts off adorable for day time then lights up for nighttime fun! Best part DIYing your Minnie Ears is choosing your own headband! I have so many ears that I purchased from Disney, of course I still wear them, but they bother my head. Making my own meant I got to test out the headband first! 

Anyway, yes my ears have a Rapunzel vibe when it comes to the color but these ears can be made into any color combo or style you'd like.  Tropical flowers for Poly vibe, black and deep purple flowers for a Haunted Mansion look, the combos are endless!

What you need:

Headband

Hot glue gun and glue sticks

14 gauge gold wire

Wire cutters

Fairy lights (battery operated) I used multicolored but there are tons of options

Faux flowers

           

Directions: 

1. Find something round that is approximately the size you want your ears to be.  For me this large 40 oz water bottle I have was perfect.  Take your wire and measure out your circles.  Leave a little extra wire on each.

2. Take the ends of each wire circle and bend them outward.  I used my wire cutter for this but pliers would work too.

 

3.  Hot glue the ears in place.  Hold them until the glue dries or balance them on something so they stay in place (this is the trickiest part).

                                                 

 

4.  Glue the battery pack in the middle of the ears.  Take the fairy lights and wrap them around the ears.  I found it easier to do with the lights on.  I wanted to make sure I had equal lights on each ear and they're easier to count when the are on. 

5.  Glue the flowers wherever you would like.  Obviously do your best to cover the battery pack.  I included flowers on the front and back.
