Jam-packed with music, including original songs by Justin Timberlake, you’ll want to Bring Home Happy! DreamWorks Trolls will be available on DVD & Blu-Ray February 7th!!!
In honor of the release of Dreamworks Trolls, I have brought you a fun activity that the entire family can enjoy…painting ROCK TROLLS! Just last month I talked about how hidden painted rocks were bring joy to my small town, so why not bring a smile & Bring Home Happy with this simple activity.
What you need (contains Amazon Affiliate links):
rocks (you can find rocks in your yard…or Dollar Tree, True Value, Michaels, etc.)
Uni-posca Paint Marker Pen
Acrylic paint brushes
Acrylic paint
Elmer’s Glitter Glue
Clear Satin Sealer (spray)
Trolls Movie (to get you inspired…and great music to motivate you)
How to:
Decide which Troll you want to recreate on your rock. Sometimes the rock shape will help you decide. I really wanted to make Princess Poppy…so that is the first rock I painted. I found a picture of Poppy to help inspire me. I found that I liked her with her little smirk than her mouth open.
Wash and dry your rocks prior to painting.
Start by painting the face with acrylic paint (a light pink). Her head is a long oval. Find the center of the rock and move it down just a little to leave room for the hair. Due to the porous nature of rocks, you will have to do several layers to give the rock good coverage. Don’t forget to give her ears! Two small ovals…easy peasy!
Once the face and ears are dry, add the hair (if you don’t have the “right” color, mix pink and red to get a deeper shade).
Use the green uni-posca paint pen to paint on the headband from ear to ear.
Poppy’s headband has 3 light blue flowers. Use the uni-posca light blue paint pen to create teardrop petals. Then go back and add the green leaves.
Use the end of a paintbrush to paint on the nose (same color as the hair; three dots connected…the middle slightly larger)
Depending on how steady your hand is you can use acrylic paint or the uni-posca paint pens to do the whites of her eyes. I used the paint pen.
Allow the white to dry then use the end of your paintbrush and the light pink acrylic paint to put a dot of pink in each eye.
Use the black uni-posca paint pen to put her pupil in her eye and carefully add eyeliner/lashes.
With a very thin brush and the darker pink that you used for her hair, paint on her smile and eyebrows. You can also use this color to give the ears definition.
Use Elmer’s pink glitter glue to add a hint of glitter to her checks.
Seal your rock.
Now…do you hide it for some lucky person to find or keep it for yourself. I will be hiding my 3 rocks (I painted Poppy and Diamond & my good friend painted DJ). I want to BRING HOME HAPPY to someone else!
