Posted on the 07 February 2015 by Juliezaz1 @juliezaz1

My daughter is so creative.  Last night she started experimenting with duck tape, and she came up with her own adorable creation.  Ladies and gentlemen, I present to all of you – the desk troll.

According to her, this very unique “stuffed animal” is supposed to sit on your desk and give you smiles all day long. Today, she is teaching us how to make one.

To do so, you will need:

Materials

–Duct Tape (Two assorted colors/patterns)
–Scissors
–1 Pipe cleaner
–Stuffing (She’s using tulle, because it’s what we had in the house)

Step 1

Grab a big handful of stuffing.

My song of the day for my baby girl and her creativity is “Pure Imagination” from “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” because she is an innovator.  Love this kid and hope you love her “desk trolls” as much as I do!
