Lovable and adorable, Troll Dolls are good luck charms created by a Danish woodcutter in 1959. The Trolls Movie, colorful and animated, capitalizes on their re-emergence as a trend among children.  Happy go lucky and friendly, troll dolls are sure to make you smile with their bug eyes, huge smiles and crazy, vibrantly colored hair.

Do you have troll dolls fever? Here’s a fun way to recreate all of your favorite troll characters from the Trolls movie such as Princess Poppy and Branch to decorate for Christmas or hang in your child’s bedroom. Fun for the whole family if everyone makes a different character from the Trolls movie!

Adorable Troll Dolls Ornaments Inspired By The Trolls Movie

With only a few supplies and a big imagination, you can make troll dolls ornaments. Fans of the Trolls movie will love receiving these as gifts this holiday season!

Supplies for Troll Dolls Ornaments:

• Clear glass ball ornaments
• Paint in colors you want for your troll dolls
• Felt in colors you want for your troll dolls
• Paint markers in colors to define facial features
• Wool yarn in colors to make the hair
• Comb or Needle Felting Claw
• Glue
• Scissors
• String

Step 1: To make Poppy, remove the cap from the clear glass ball ornament and pour in some pink paint.  Swirl it around until the entire inside is coated or cover the opening with your thumb and shake until completely coated.  Turn upside down on a paper towel and let the remaining pink paint drain out.  To make Branch, do the same except with a sea glass colored paint.

Step 2: While the paint is drying, it’s time to work on the troll dolls crazy hair!  Cut approximately 2 yards of yarn.  Place the two ends together and keep halving it until you have a length a bit longer than you will need.  Cut off a short piece of yarn and knot it tightly around the middle (Branch’s hair).  Cut the looped ends so they are free.  Then using a metal comb or felting claw, brush the yarn until it becomes less stringy and stiffer (Poppy’s hair).

Step 3: Tuck the knotted end into the glass ball and lay the hair to the side.  Replace the ornament cap.

Step 4: Tie a string through the top so that you’ll be able to hang the ornament.  Pull the hair around the cap so it is no longer visible.

Step 5: Now it’s time to make their faces.  Using the scissors, cut out ears from the felt and glue them on to the glass ball to make troll dolls.  Poppy also needs a headband made out of felt, and don’t forget her adorable flowers!

Step 6: Glue the ears to the glass ball and Poppy’s headband to her hair and you are ready to make the faces of the Trolls Movie characters Princess Poppy and Branch!

Step 7: Draw Branch’s face on with black, purple and white paint markers.  Draw Poppy’s face on with black, pink and white paint markers.  Poppy has a few glittery freckles which we added as well!

Your troll dolls are now ready and look just like your favorite characters Poppy and Branch from the Trolls Movie!  Hang Poppy and Branch on your Christmas tree this year to celebrate the fun of the Trolls Movie!  If you end up loving your troll dolls ornaments, get creative on your own and make DJ Suki, Creek, Guy Diamond, Biggie, Bridget, Chef and more!
