Peg People

I won a giveaway on Simple Simon & Co. a few months ago where I got 3 peg princesses...My daughter loves to carry them around, but I hadn't seen the wood pieces around anywhere so they didn't make my to-do-list.  Then, I stumbled upon this post with Star Wars and Harry Potter peg people and was determined to find them to make some of my own. 

JoAnns has the girl shaped peg people that have a dress shaped body, but Michael's had the boy shaped ones that are straight from the neck down.

Here are mine:
They took 3 days of naps to paint . . . and I found them quite addicting.  The pirate seems out of place since the rest are "characters."  I think my favorite is Robin.  You can't tell from the picture, but the back and sides are yellow for his cape.   I started with Harry since I was copying the image from the post above, but then I ventured out and made some of my own.

  1. Wow, those are amazing. I'm going cross-eyed just imagining trying to pain those. Great job! I better not let my son see, or he'll be asking for them.

  4. These are SO cute! I really like this idea. They're defiantly on my to do list. I've painted peg dolls for my daughter, but I think these are so fun.

  8. What a fun work you done here. It is easy to create with the different woods, and ice cream sticks also. My sister done it with the plastic papers. I will share it as soon as possible in my blog.
