Adorable Rapunzel and Flynn Costumes
Whenever I consider a Rapunzel costume from Tangled, I immediately get hung up on the hair. She has a lot of it and about the only way to wear it and make it look believable is in the giant braid we saw in the movie. RPF user aelynn000 came up with a lightweight way to fashion the braid, and I’m impressed by how she put it together. It looks like it’s right from Tangled! She used foam strips covered by beige semi-shiny nylon and hair. Here’s how she tackled it:
It will be done, however, by making beige-blonde coloured sleeves for foam strips ( about 3-4 inches wide and about 1.75 inches thick ) and then attaching wefts around the widths in intervals. The ‘sleeves’ are just to cover any white that may show through the hair. I’d rather have a slightly thin layer of hair with a coloured base as opposed to a 7 lb wig ( which I’ve heard many girls’ are ). The foam is pretty much weightless and the one tube which I wrapped in hair ( the method that was scrapped ) remains pretty close to weightless so so far, so good!
