Tinker Bell has to be one of the most-beloved Disney Characters in my household! CGH #4 particularly loves Tinker Bell, and we have collected all of her movies over the years!
When Disney asked me to create this hairstyle tutorial, I was super thrilled at the prospect of being inspired by Tinker Bell’s adorable fairy bun!
Please note that the 2D photos of Tinker Bell in the past have her wearing a teal blue ribbon at the base of the bun, which is what I show you here. {The ribbon is replaced by green vines in the more recent 3D images.}
As we planned this hairstyle, I really needed some blonde hair to make the tutorial just right! Nope, no blonde hair anywhere in our home! Luckily for me… one of my best friends was willing to lend me her five-year old daughter, who was tickled pink to help me out!
Be sure to stay to the end of the video, because there is a really cute clip there that you will not want to miss!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 bun maker {matching hair color}, 2-3 bobby pins, 2 hair elastics, hairspray {if desired}, and blue sheer ribbon.
Time Requirement: 2-3 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Begin by brushing the hair, and combing all the hair into a high ponytail {remember, this is a high bun, so be sure that the ponytail is on the top of the head}… Secure the ponytail with a rubber band… Slide the ponytail through the middle of the bun maker, or hair doughnut… Let the hair fall evenly around the bun maker {try to get hair evenly placed so that the bun maker is not visible at all}… Using another hair band, slide it over the bun maker and release it at the base to create the perfect looking bun {you should have the ends of the hair still sticking out of the base}… Now, pick up a small strand of the ends of the hair near the front, and begin to twist them… As you work your way around, add in hair as you go {this will create a cute twist all the way around the base of the bun}… When you run out of hair, secure the ends at the base with a couple of bobby pins, and tuck in any loose ends… Lastly, wrap your ribbon around the front base of the bun, and tie it into a cute fairy bow in the back.This hairstyle is perfect for fairy birthday parties, Halloween, ballet, and dance. Since it is a bun, you can use it for any number of occasions like family parties, recitals, etc.
Heavens, I’ll wear it too!
Enjoy your adorable Tinker Bell Bun!
