It’s official—Tokyo Disneyland (TDL) is launching a brand-new Wreck-It Ralph attraction in the spring of 2027!
The buzz around the movie has reached an all-time high, especially following the massive success of the Vanellope special events held throughout 2025 and 2026. During the festivities, the park was buzzing with fans rocking Vanellope-inspired Disney Bounding looks, and so many adorable kids in full Vanellope costumes.
When you think of Vanellope, her most iconic feature is her signature ponytail sprinkled with colorful candy hair ornaments. In this blog post, I’ll provide a step-by-step tutorial on how to recreate Vanellope’s hairstyle and a simple DIY guide to making those cute sweets-themed hair accessories yourself!
DIY Tutorial: Vanellope’s Iconic Red Licorice Hair Tie
To complete the Vanellope look, you can't forget the red licorice used to tie her ponytail! While you can't use real candy in your hair (it's too sticky!), you can easily DIY a realistic version that stays perfect all day.
DIY Tutorial: Vanellope’s Colorful Candy & Chocolate Sprinkles
To finish off the Vanellope look, you need those iconic "sprinkles" scattered through her hair. These look just like real candy bits (like M&Ms or Chocolate Sprinkles), but they are lightweight and won't melt!
