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 rainbow colored 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 very 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 paper, grab some of your favorite ink pads and have children decorate the troll’s hair with thumbprint marks. Once done, color in the head design and add plastic googly 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 craft 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 Instagram for easy tagging these days! Don’t shy – come give us a follow as well! #gluedtomycrafts
