Creating a troll with punches


My daughter, Emily, recently visited me and brought the new Troll movie with her.  It was a fun movie to watch.  I like to send my kids surprises in the mail and I thought what better surprise than to receive a handmade troll card in the mail, from your favorite mom,  along with a starbucks gift card so that she could try a unicorn drink that everyone is talking about.  Because unicorns and trolls go together, right?  This project took me much longer than I anticipated, but I am happy with the results, and hopefully she will enjoy it too.   

Here's how to make the troll:

  • hair - frozen treats framelits (the cone), fussy cut bangs
  • head -  1 3/8" circle punch
  • ears - fox builder punch
  • flowers in the hair - tree builder punch
  • nose - owl builder punch (used the foot of the owl)
  • eyes - starting from the black that is directly attached to the face.  Black (cupcake builder), White (cupcake builder)  offset these from each other to create an eye liner, melon mambo (1/8" handheld punch), black (owl builder punch).  I used a black marker to draw the eyelashes and a chalk marker to create the white dot in the eye.
  • dress - I cut a rectangle from tempting turquoise and fussy cut to the dress shape
  • arms - 1"x1" square with corners rounded
  • hands - pyramid pals framelits (elephant nose)
  • flowers at the top of the card made with the pansy punch
  • leaves - Rose Garden framelits
I hope you enjoy this project.  If you need supplies for this, or any other project, I would love to be your demonstrator.  Contact me today or visit my store by clicking HERE.
