Anyone have a good idea for an orange troll for Halloween. I already received the one for a ghost and my grandson thinks it's a great idea. Now my granddaughter wants an orange troll and I haven't a clue where to start. Thanks for any ideas
Store bought costumes are so expensive and for children, of course, this is a one-off show.
The original trolls were all about the big stand-up hair and either no clothes or very little clothes.
This being the case, it seems making the hair is the most important thing for this type of costume. Looks like the rest of the costume could be her choice of 'character'.
I would suggest making a trip to the party stores, craft stores, and big box stores to get some ideas as most stores will have costumes and all sorts of accessories. These are great places to get ideas, take pictures and regroup with your granddaughter helping pick out which ideas she likes.
Here are some links that have DIY instructions for the orange hair.
I guess your granddaughter wants a DJ Suki troll costume, because DJ Suki has orange hair and this is a character in Trolls, Trolls: The Beat Goes On! and Trolls: Trolls Topia.
DJ Suki is a Troll with hot pink skin, a bright blue nose and light pink eyes. Her hair is a shade of orange, and seems to be quite thick and frizzy-lookin; it's tied up with a light purple bobble. Some sparkles can be seen on her cheeks. DJ wears a yellow, white, purple and blue striped tank top with matching pants.
I found how to make a DJ Suki costume: www.costumebox.com.au/
You will need to make/buy an orange wig, pastel colored headphones, a pink long sleeved t-shirt and long pink socks(to look like DJs skin colour), colorful vest and shorts.
You can get the orange wig here www.amazon.com/
You might check out your local thrift store to get some ideas for a costume. Walmart has orange wigs & costumes:

You need to buy an orange wig. Instead of a wig, you can make an orange troll hair headband:
