Here's what you need to make DIY Troll Hair
- Headband - I used a black grosgrain ribbon covered headband, but any headband would work great
- Tulle - I used one of my 6" tulle spools that I have on hand for my birthday party hosting at the shop. For Branch's black hair, I used my black tulle and simply trimmed the top in a straight line to finish
- Scrap felt - I pulled a few pieces of felt from my scrap bin to mimic Poppy's cute floral headband - turquoise for the flowers, green for the leaves and a sweet pink pom pom for a little flair
- Ribbon - I used a 1.5" wide grosgrain ribbon to tie all of Poppy's pink hair together at the top. The tulle is so nice as it will stand straight up when tied like this.
- Hot glue
- Scissors

Pull to secure.
Now, will the rest of the headband with tulle loops.
Trim the tulle to the desired height and shape for your Troll hair.
