The arms for the troll I am making out of clothespins. I make a simple joint and drill and attach the hands to the arms with a small dowel. I chose the cloth for the shirt and rolled and glued the sleeves together. Slip the arms into the sleeves and they are ready to add to the body. Fold in the fabric and glue the tip of the arm to the body. It is going to leave a weird line but you can cut a small piece of fabric to cover the joint. Lay it and glue it into place. Then tuck it under and glue the edges so the shoulder and arm look like one continuous piece. It just makes it more natural looking.
The pants go on just like the shirt does. I cut out the pant legs and glued them on. To make the legs look rounder use fiberfill to sculpt the legs. It will make the lower part of his body more lifelike.
Tomorrow.... we finish troll dressing
