But let us first understand what poppy costumes are before we jump to these sections.
What is Poppy Troll Costume?
There are many characters in the movie Trolls(2016), including Poppy, Branch, Bridget, Biggie, and Guy Diamond, among others. Queen Poppy is a pop troll queen and the lead actress, as well as the movie's female protagonist.
In the movie, Poppy primarily wore three looks: normal, baby, and royal attire.
As a baby, the poppy has small hair. She's not wearing any clothes, but she's wearing a green headband with a blue flower, which is very close to what she's got as she gets older.
Whereas, the regular Poppy look has a light pink skin complexion with rosy cheeks and glitter freckles. Her hair color is a darker pink and sticks up in the air naturally. She has a green headband with blue flowers, and she wears a purple and blue hug-time bracelet that opens up into a pink flower when it's hug time.
At the end of the movie, when Poppy is crowned queen of the trolls, she wears a crown made of green leaves of varied sizes.
Although each of these looks has slightly different costumes, the costumes' colours very much remain the same– pink and blue.
We hope that by now, you have a concrete idea of what poppy troll costumes are and why both children and adults love them.

How to DIY Poppy Mens Troll Costumes at Home?
If you already know how to sew or have some on-hand experience of tailoring, this would be an effortless task for you. But even though you are doing this for the first time, there is nothing to worry about. Because DIY poppy troll costumes are a simple task. Just make sure that you follow the below-mentioned tips thoroughly.

Supply List:

- A sleeveless dress of the child
- Pink sweater and pink tights (for poppy skin)
- Sewing Kit
- Team Foam
- Large Cups
- Hot Glue gun
- Pencil and Ruler
- Pins
- Measurement tape
- White chalk
Directions To DIY Poppy Mens Troll Costume at Home:
Step 1: Draw The Dress Shape on The Felt
- The first step is to draw the dress shape on the felt using white chalk. Bring out the pretty dress of your child and fold it in half lengthwise.
- Now fold the blue felt enough that the folded dress can get easily accommodated on it.
- Draw the dress shape on the felt.
Step 2: Draw The Shoulder Flap
- The next step is to draw the shoulder flap. A shoulder flap is a design that appears on the front side of the Poppy troll costume. To better understand the dress design, keep the picture of the poppy dress in front of you.
- You only have to extend one of the shoulders and give it a kind of drop shape.
Step 3: Cut Out The Pieces
- The next step in how to make a poppy troll costume guide is– cut the pieces. Slowly cut the pieces by running the scissor on the white borders that you made.
- Also, cut off the shoulder flap. Make sure you cut off the left shoulder flap if the felt is in front of you.
- This is the backside of the troll poppy costume.
Step 4: Repeat The Same Process Without Shoulder Flap
- Now repeat the same three steps, but this time you will not cut the shoulder flap.
- This will be the front side of your costume.
- It is recommended that you cut the neck a little more to make it more open and comfortable to wear.
- Now, place the light blue felt at the bottom of the front piece of the dress that you have cut.
- Make sure it remains less than the 1/4th part of dress' height and does not exceed.
Step 5: Design The Bottom of The Costume
- Now draw the shape of the dress on the light blue felt.
- Using the cups, make the wave design at the bottom of the dress.
- Cut the design and keep it aside.
Step 6: Add a Pattern
- Now, draw the design of drops on the light blue felt using the white chalk. Keep the one drop size larger than the other two similar drops.
- Cut those drops using scissors and use them to make a pattern.
- Once you have all the pieces, glue them or pin them on the blue felt to design a pattern and enhance the overall look.
- Note that you don't need to follow this design only. You can try other designs too.
Besides, you can also hand-sew the pattern to ensure it doesn't come out. But make sure you use the same color thread as blue felt to make sure it doesn't appear odd.
Step 7: Put the Front and Back Piece Together
- Stitch the flap and the side borders of the felt to make a perfect poppy troll costume.
- It is recommended that you follow the cross stitch for the shoulder flap.
That's all!
See, we told you making poppy men's troll costumes at home is not at all challenging. In fact, it is one of the most effortless costume designs. All you need to care about is follow the above-mentioned steps religiously.
