CRAFTY CINEMA: Tangled-inspired Hand Mirror and Brush

 You don't need long hair to fall in love with Disney's “Tangled.” It's an instant classic that’s as funny and quirky as it is endearing and empowering. Mandy Moore lends her vocals to Rapunzel, a plucky princess hidden in a tower by an evil guardian. Instead of dreaming about meeting a handsome prince to save her, Rapunzel devises her own escape and passes the time in the most creative ways possible - sewing, reading, sculpting, cooking, writing, and painting every inch of every wall space she can find. It's here where the image of a sun comes into play. You have to see the film to find out why! Until then, here is a project inspired by Rapunzel's plight!

6. On the back of the mirror, use the chalk pencil to draw an outline of a sun design. Refer to photo.
