DIY Tangled Inspired Paper Lantern: Tangled Before Ever After DVD Giveaway

Disclosure: Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment provided me with a gift card to create this Tangled Inspired Paper Lantern. They are also sponsoring this giveaway. As always, all opinions and experiences are my own.

One of things I love about visiting any of the Walt Disney World Parks is that I feel transported into a Disney film. While strolling through Fantasyland, I fell in love with the Tangled lanterns. They looked beautiful as the sun set. Almost magical…

I knew that at one point, I’d want to recreate this Disney magic for my home.

Easy DIY Tangled Paper Lantern

What you need:

• paper – I used 12×12
• tacky glue
• a thumbtack
• washi tape
• scissors
• battery operated candle
• a pencil
• Disney Tangled Golden Sun Template
• cardboard

How to create paper lantern:

1. Print out Disney Tangled Sun Template. Cut out the size you’d like on your candle. I used the smallest one.
2. Cut your 12×12 paper in half. Feel free to use card stock or construction paper. 
   • Wrap the paper around your candle – you’ll want enough room so that it slips over easily.
3. Lightly trace the sun template on your paper.
4. Take your thumbtack and start going over your sun template tracing.
   • For this step I recommend doing this on top of a piece of cardboard. I used a piece from a post office box.
   • As you punch your holes with the thumbtack, erase your outline
   • YES – after a while, your thumb and index finger will hurt.
5. Decorate the top and bottom with washi tape of your choice.
6. Optional: make thumbtack holes on top and bottom around washi tape for additional decoration.
7. Glue ends together – remember to leave enough room for your candle to fit through. Let dry for a few hours.

IMPORTANT: Since this is a paper lantern craft DO NOT use a real candle. 

If you love Tangled as much as I do, you’ll be excited to learn that Repunzel Returns in Disney’s Tangled Before Ever After.
