If there’s one thing Rapunzel knows how to do—besides letting down her hair—it’s getting creative. Whether she’s painting, baking, or braiding flowers into her hair, she’s always crafting up some magic. So if there’s a birthday coming up with a Rapunzel theme, a few hands-on activities can transform the party into a fairytale day full of memories.
And when it comes to making a Princess Party truly unforgettable, adding themed crafts (and maybe even Rapunzel herself!) is the perfect way to bring the tower to life—no long hair required.
Start With a Tangled-Inspired Twist Station
What better way to start than with something straight from Rapunzel’s playbook? Set up a DIY braid station where party guests can twist colorful yarn or ribbon into wearable braids. Provide clips, faux flowers, and sparkly accessories to give each guest their own mini makeover.
This activity doubles as a craft and a costume piece—so when it’s time to sing “I’ve Got a Dream,” everyone’s ready for their moment in the spotlight.
Paint Like a Princess
Rapunzel famously turned the walls of her tower into a giant mural, so why not let party guests unleash their inner artist? Set up a painting station with mini canvases, washable paint, and brushes. Let the little ones decorate their own floating lanterns, paint sun emblems, or just create their own masterpieces.
For an extra magical touch, offer gold glitter paint to represent Rapunzel’s glowing hair—just prepare for a little sparkle to linger long after the party ends.
Royal Sun Crown Creations
Every princess needs a crown! For a crafty take on royal accessories, provide yellow and gold foam cutouts, sun shapes, and plenty of stickers so kids can create their own sun-inspired crowns. These crowns tie beautifully into the theme and are one of the easiest crafts for a Rapunzel party to manage—even for younger guests.
Plus, they make the perfect prop for photos with the guest of honor and any royal visitors who might drop by.
Make Your Own Floating Lanterns
It wouldn’t be a Rapunzel party without floating lanterns. For this activity, use paper lunch bags or white craft paper and let kids decorate them with markers, stickers, and LED tea lights. Not only are they fun to make, but once the sun starts to set, turning off the lights and watching the “lanterns” glow will feel like stepping right into the movie.
It’s a magical moment—and one that’s totally Instagram-worthy.
Invite the Guest of Honor—Rapunzel Herself!
No matter how many crafts you plan, the ultimate way to tie it all together is to invite Rapunzel herself to the celebration. When you hire a princess impersonator through The Princess Party Company, you’re adding that unforgettable wow-factor every guest (and every parent) will be talking about for weeks.
Rapunzel can lead the crafts, pose for photos, read stories, and even sing. If you’re planning a princess party and want it to truly sparkle, rent a princess who brings the magic to life!
Let the Fun Down—Just Like Her Hair
With the right crafts and a little creative energy, a Rapunzel-themed birthday can be one of the most magical events a child ever experiences. From floating lanterns to flower crowns, there are so many ways to keep little guests engaged, smiling, and full of imagination.
