Lets face it.
This is the year of Rapunzel.
I think this year for Hallowe'en, every other little girl and her dog wants to be her.
We're BIG Rapunzel fans (See HERE) so it was no surprise when
Maya wanted to be Rapunzel for Hallowe'en.
First big search was for a costume.
We found some in the toddler sizes, and in size 6+ (which Maya needs) the costumes were $50-65. My resourceful Mom found a solution by buying a costume pajama dress (yes pajamas!) for $25. Scroll down and you'll see why this worked out PERFECTLY
(oh, and thanks Mom!).
Wigs were another issue. First off, they have been sold out in many stores and online. Then there's the $20 price tag. Call us crazy, we just aren't willing to put that much into a Hallowe'en costume.
Maya has long hair as it is (she refuses to cut it due to Rapunzel's influence), so I went to the local dollar store and found those fake hair clips similar to this one:

and ripped it off the clip, and added it to Maya's ponytail.

Now to make it glow.
Enter glowstick necklace!
After making the ponytail, I pushed the glow stick up the ponytailers and then ribbon wrapped her hair to secure it all.
How fun is that?!
Maya was pretty excited...with glowing hair...who wouldn't be?!

Why didn't I think of that! We are SO doing that to my daughters Rapunzel wig! She will FLIP!
brilliant! What a great idea to make her hair glow! How fun is that going to be Halloween night?!
Very smart and resourceful! Can you put one together for Olivia? :)
Yeah my little girl would loooooove that!
I have seen some Rapunzel hair, but never glowing. What a fun idea. What girl wouldn't love that. Thanks for the idea. I am a new follower from Saturday is Crafty Day. Vicky from www.messforless.net
That's such a cute idea! I was Rapunzel for Halloween about 20 years ago, but no glowing hair back then!
That is brilliant! I love the glow-stick idea! Your daughter's hair is SO long! Wow, my little girl would be jealous--she's trying to grow her hair out because of Rapunzel as well. Sigh. :)
Awesome. What a great costume. I would love for you to stop by and link up your glowing hair to More the Merrier Monday. It lasts through Wednesday so you have plenty of time to link up. I also have a link party for Halloween projects only at http://diyhshp.blogspot.com/2011/09/trick-or-treat-link-party.html that I would love for you to link up to as well.
