I went to the pound shop and found 15 Princess cut outs for (you guessed it) one pound. I knew that with paint and scissors I could get 13 Disney Princesses from them. I started with the outline and then I painted the faces. Ariel and Jasmine needed a big dress makeover, the others I left or I trimmed down as well as altering the hairstyle. I then painted everyone skin on.
The next step was to go colour by colour (rather than princess by Princess) I started with Yellow, Snow White, Belle, Mulan and Tiana and moved onto blue Elsa, Anna, Snow White, Mulan, Then I went through green, purple, red, black, pink until everyone was dressed.
Time to move onto hair. I needed plaits for Rapunzel, Elsa, Anna as well as ariel and Merida's hair (Other long haired princesses are utilizing the bun!) The plaits are made from the bits of card I cut off the Princess' dresses (e.g Mulan's dress).
For Merida and Ariel I used the remaining two blank princess cut outs and their skirts fitted behind their heads. I then painted them and cut them to look wavy or curly.
The end result: I am so pleased with these Princesses. I think they look great. Easily recognisable and so much fun to make.
