Fingerprint Troll Hair Craft Idea

With the help of some clipart files I recently purchased from LisaMarkleSparkles on Etsy {a HUGE shout out to her if you ever need cute graphics for your crafts!} I was able to come up with this troll hair DIY with ease!!!

It’s an idea that is super easy to make within minutes and it’s relatively inexpensive too. If you have a printer in your home – you are well on your way to pulling this bright and colorful troll craft activity together in no time! Best part? No two pieces will EVER be alike! Just like in the movie, they all will have their own personality, style and flair!

In this exclusive #gluedtomycrafts post, I’ve included a FREE blank troll head printable template, so all you need to do is print the file on some simple white cardstock, grab some of your favorite colored ink pads and have children decorate the troll’s hair with thumbprint marks.  Once done, color in the hair and add wiggle eyes for them to see! Easy peasy!

So let’s get to it! Download the file below and get to work on creating these adorable pieces today. I hope you join in on the fun as well and make an awesome crafter-noon out of it!

Happy crafting my friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures with us! You can find us on Facebook and Instagram for easy tagging these days! Don’t shy – come give us a follow! #gluedtomycrafts

Colorful Thumbprint Troll Hair - Kid Craft w/free printable

Just print and add multi-colored thumbprints all over to bring your troll’s hair to life!

Craft Supplies:

  • Free Troll Outline Template Printable {grab it on box.com}
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Color Printer
  • Colored Ink Pads {the more colors the better!}
  • Baby Wipes
  • Crayons/Markers
  • Adhesive Tape Runner or Glue Stick
  • Wiggle Eyes {two per troll craft}
  • optional materials – embellishments like glitter glue, rhinestones, small bows etc.

You can find ALL our favorite craft supplies via our AMAZON SHOP link!

Directions:

  • First print out the free template printable on a single sheet of white cardstock paper. You only need ONE print per craft.
  • Next grab your various colors of ink pads.
  • Have children press their thumb {or any other finger} on the ink pad, then on the printable to create the troll’s hair. Change up the color and direction of each thumbprint, to make a mosaic look.
  • Repeat until you have the look you like.
  • When done, clean off ink from fingers with the baby wipes and a quick trip to the sink.
  • Now, to finish off the thumbprint troll hair craft, color in the troll’s face with crayons and add wiggle eyes for your friend to see with.
  • Add other embellishments you see fit {like glitter, rhinestones etc.} before displaying proudly!

Well friends! That’s officially a wrap on this very paper and ink troll kid craft tutorial from us!

But before you go off to recreate this craft idea, you should know that at Glued To My Crafts, we have a “knack” for stepping outside the traditional. It kinda gives us a thrill and we strive to be different from the other online competitors!

So be sure to also check out our super popular Paint Splat Troll Hair, Popsicle Stick Trolls and Chalk Art Troll Hair posts. All three are rather unique to our website and sure to impress the crafty fingers that recreate them {especially if you love trolls too!}
