Kid's Stuff

I got this project from www.spikk.no and its a good woodcarving practice for children. Children who want to do this must seek guidance from adults on the proper use of knives. Use protection like gloves and always be very careful.

This is all about making a spikketrollets or simply troll. I've got lots of them. I enjoy making them and I hope you will too.


Materials and Tools:
1. tree branch - must be fresh else it will not be easy to whittle and the bark might separate from the wood in the process of making the troll.
2. knife
3. sharpie - for drawing the eyes and mouth.
4. oil-based paint or watercolor
5. brush


First, make the hat. The hat is just like Santa Claus' except that it is standing and not floppy. It just like sharpening a pencil.


Then make the face. The face is flat and is made by removing the bark and a little wood. Remove also the bark at the back and at the sides of the face. Using a saw, cut the troll to the desired height.


Paint the hat with oil-based paint or water color.


Draw the eyes and mouth using a pentel pen or sharpie.

My other spikketrollets. Happy woodcarving everybody!

P.S.
You can hang them on your Christmas Tree.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
