planning for Lainey's bday this Saturday

Elaine really likes the movie, Tangled. For her birthday dinner I decided to make decorations that are Tangled-themed. She doesn't know! She'll be surprised. :)

Lanterns are a symbol in the movie for Rupunzel following her dreams. So it wouldn't be a Tangled birthday if lanterns weren't everywhere. These are how they look in the film:

 

Today I made these two lanterns to sit on the table.

I got little fake battery-operated candles from the Dollar General (3 for $1) for inside the paper lanterns.

I made cupcakes and mixed icing to look like very dark blue (light the nighttime sky) and put lanterns on top. I hope to find yellow star sprinkles to sprinkle around the lanterns on each cupcake.
