Trolls Crafts: How To Make Troll Hair
This fun craft is not my own clever invention but rather it is a DreamWorks Trolls Craft that was shared with me by my friends at DreamWorks Animation Studios to celebrate the brand new Netflix original series DREAMWORKS TROLLS: THE BEAT GOES ON! which releases on January 19th. I thought this troll headbands craft was so cute that I decided to share it with you so your kids could enjoy DIY troll hair too! These Trolls crafts can be made in different colors depending on your favorite trolls!
Troll Headband DIY:
First, gather your supplies. A word about the troll headbands supply list- you can do with just one headband and one roll of tulle if you only have one child who only wants to wear one color of troll hair. However, several colorful headband choices will be useful as will several colorful tulle rolls if you have multiple children with different troll hair color preferences. For example, a green headband with pink tulle and blue flowers would be great if your child loves Princess Poppy the best. A plain blue headband with blue tulle strips is perfect for making Branch’s blue hair.
Crafts Supplies For Troll Hair DIY:
- plain headbands
- 6″ tulle rolls
- small rubber bands
- lightweight ribbon
- felt flowers
- scissors
- measuring tape
- hot glue gun and hot glue sticks
DIY Troll Headbands Directions:
- For each headband you will cut 7-12, 20 inch strips of tulle. As little as seven per headband will work but the hair will be more full if you add the additional strips and will stay up a little better too. I used 7 in my photos.
- You will loop the strips of tulle onto the headband using a larks head knot. To do this, take one strip of tulle and fold it in half with the head band over the bend and then loop the longer ends through this bend to secure it to the headband. Start in the middle and work your way outward. The knots should be just a bit loose as you go.
- Pull all the ends of the tulle together and tie them with a rubber band. You can add a small ribbon bow over the rubber band but a if you go too big with the bow, it will weigh the troll hair down.
- Use the hot glue gun to attach the felt flowers to the hair on the right side near the base of the hair or even to the headband itself as you prefer.
Then have fun trying your troll hair on everyone in the family!
