Anyway, back to the topic, for this issue of Creativity 521, I'm unveiling the theme for Angel's 5th birthday party. Think purple, tower, hair and I think you will get it.
Yes, it's going to be a RAPUNZEL themed party this year. She chose it herself and I'm just more than happy to oblige and think of ways to decorate our place and plan games that revolve around this favorite Disney princess of hers. But first, we have to get the birthday invitation done, so check out what we did!

1) A4 purple metallic cards (290gsm)
2) Thick pink paper
3) Light purple copier paper
4) White cardboard
5) Yellow yarn
6) Ribbon roses
7) Scissors
8) Craft knife
9) Rainbow loom bands
10) Long ruler
11) White glue
12) Hot glue and glue gun
13) Sticky tape

Tip: For the crenels of the tower and the window, you might want to use a craft knife instead of a scissors to ensure a clean cut.

I used the same paper for the roof of the tower but for the window, just to give it some variation, I traced it out on the pink paper instead. Once you are done tracing, cut them out neatly with the scissors and craft knife.




Tip: To stick the roof onto the window, apply a thin line of glue along the top border of the pink paper. To stick these onto the tower, apply glue at the back of the purple paper and not the pink paper so that there will not be glue at the crenels.


Tip: To make it easier to plait, rest something heavy, for instance a book, on the top end of the yarn so that it stays put.
