If you love the ethereal look of the golden flowers from the Disney film "Tangled" — inspired by the sundrop flower and the bonanza daylily in real life — you'll fall head over heels for this DIY decor. Not only is this craft super simple, but it is a creative way to illuminate your space. You can easily design a sweet and serene interior with these resourceful floral pieces. All you need are cotton rounds, yellow paint, wire, glue, yarn, and fairy lights. These decorative flowers are a classy way to incorporate Disney into your home decor.
As demonstrated by @yano4kaa.a on Instagram, start by cutting your cotton rounds into petal shapes before pulling them apart. Then dip each petal in a bowl of diluted yellow paint and water. Use wire to reinforce the shape of the petals before gluing the halves back together again. You can then add a darker paint color to the center of each petal for visual variation. Twist your wire to create the stem, and cover it in forest green yarn. The last step is to twist your cluster of fairy lights in the center of your vibrant, Tangled-inspired flower.
How to modify these whimsical flowers to suit your space
If you want to make your home feel like a fairytale cottage, these flowers are a perfect addition to your space. There are several kinds of fairy lights to choose from depending on your personal design goals. These EXF battery-operated fairy lights can be bent and cut according to your craft. For a more colorful option, consider these RGB color-changing fairy lights.
To further customize these Tangled-inspired flowers, you can play with different colors of petals. Although the flowers in "Tangled" are definitively gold, different variations of Bonanza daylily have more purple or pink in the center of the flower. Beyond paint, eyeshadow is an easy way to add splashes of different shades and speckled patterns. Glow-in-the-dark paint, like this Techno Glow product, can provide an additional otherworldly touch. No matter how you modify these cotton round crafts, they are undoubtedly a beautiful way to add a trendy, whimsical accent to your home.
