6 Unique and Creative Tangled Birthday Party Décor Ideas

There’s no doubt that Tangled is one of Disney’s best modern animated films. I mean, who can resist the loyal Maximus and the no-nonsense wit of Pascal? Not to mention the irresistible tunes and one of the most romantic scenes in Disney history. It’s no wonder this movie captured the hearts of so many. The world it created is enchanting, making it an excellent choice for immersive birthday parties! It’s only fitting that you need some unique Tangled party ideas to weave into your next birthday party.

But where do you start?

Right off the bat, you might be thinking purple and yellow streamers, a big Rapunzel banner, and a themed cake. While these are all perfectly good options, why not take your party to the next level with elegant and quirky new ideas?

Here’s my list of 6 magical party details you can make right now.

Rapunzel’s Sun Flag Party Favor/Décor

As a little kid watching Tangled for the first time, I dreamed of finding out I was a princess just like Rapunzel. And of course, she couldn’t have found this out without the beautiful handmade sun flag from the village. Make your own flag to give to guests or hang as decoration to create that same magical feeling as Rapunzel receiving her flag.

I hand stitched my own flag on some stretchy, thin fabric. But, to create them faster and easier, a little fabric glue can go a long way. Felt is also a great material for ease, however it does not fold or rest as easily as other fabric does. Whatever method you choose, these flags will be great party favors or decorations for your celebration.

Braided Yarn Rapunzel Hair Décor

Instead of regular old streamers, try this braided streamer idea. Make it as long or as short as you want, and decorate it however you please. I chose to replicate her beautiful, flower filled hairstyle and braided in some shiny pieces of string to make magic glowing hair. This decoration will transport you straight to the streets of the kingdom, dancing with Rapunzel and Flynn in the village marketplace. I am dancing already!

Tangled Birthday Lanterns

Add the warmth of a candlelight glow to your party with these easy-to-make flickering lanterns. Or, elevate your party even further by hanging them from the ceiling to recreate that swoon-worthy boat scene we all love so much.

And, if you’re in need of some party activities, these lanterns make for a great mid-party craft for older kids and adults! Having a craft to bring home will keep your guests thinking about your party long after it’s done.

Tip: Use a Cricut cutting tool to crank these lanterns out even faster!

Frying Pan Serving Bowl

By far the simplest Tangled party idea on this list is this adorable frying pan serving bowl idea. Simply bring out any sized frying pan, or several pans, and use them to serve your snacks. I love some sweet party snacks, so I fill mine with candy to nibble on. Cute, simple, and a treat for any avid Tangled fan. Who knew?

Hidden “Snuggly” Rubber Ducks Party Game Idea

If you’re a huge Tangled fan like me, you’ve probably fallen in love with the adorable Snuggly Duckling tavern sign that tricks Rapunzel into joining some lively, musical thugs for lunch

Try testing your guests’ attention to detail by hiding some rubber ducks around the house to be found throughout the party.

Or, make it a rubber duck scavenger hunt if you’re in need of an inclusive party game! At the end, the guest who collects the most ducks can even win a handmade sun flag! I find guests are more involved when prizes are on the line.

“Ceramic” Unicorns

It’s no secret that the little ceramic unicorns mentioned in the “I have a Dream” sequence stole the hearts of every child (and adult, let’s be honest) watching. Later, they even make a glorious reappearance at the thugs’ gallant rescue of Flynn Ryder. These guard-tricking little delights absolutely have to be incorporated in any Tangled themed party. 

You can find unicorn figures at your local craft or toy store, on Amazon, or if you have your own 3-D printer, there are tons of designs available on Thingiverse.

Then, place them in plain sight or hide them around the house as the special item to find in the rubber duck scavenger hunt.

All in all, these thoughtful and unique Tangled party ideas will make your party the one to remember! Complete the décor with an elegant tablecloth and place settings and have yourself the party of your dreams. Tangled is a great theme for kids’ parties, adult parties, anniversaries, sweet sixteens and just about any upscale or casual event. And who knows? Maybe your guests will even break out into song?

So what are you waiting for? Let’s whip up some magic!
