Step 1
Assess your trolls and assign them roles: the most feminine one, of course, will be Mary. Tie or braid the hair for Joseph and the three wise men.
-
Step 2
Make clothes in colors that signal their roles: Mary is always in blue (often combined with white); Joseph, in brown. For the three wise men, choose linked, complementary colors - three shades of green, perhaps. (See below for how to make troll costumes.)
-
Step 3
Accessorize the trolls to signal their roles. Mary needs a bundle to signal the baby Jesus (use a baby troll if you have one, of course). Joseph usually has a staff of some kind and the three wise men need gifts.
-
Step 1
Cut a circle out of felt. Its diameter should be twice as long as the troll is tall.
-
Step 2
Fold in quarters and cut a neck hole (a small one - cut a vertical slit so that it will go over the head).
-
Step 3
Pull over the troll's head.
-
Step 4
Mark armholes and cut.
-
Step 5
Tie at the waist with ribbon or string.
