I did enjoy the pegdoll book by Margaret Bloom. I decided to make a nativity scene. I'd been given some lovely felt last year, and I had some wooden dolls in my Stash
Kezzie had sent me some bamboo food boxes, and one [cut down] made a little stable.
Two interlocking rectangles made a manger. I stuck a wooden craft star onto a bbq skewer. Two 'pony beads' stuck on the back of the stable held the stick in place, but it could be removed for storage.
It is delightful. I had seen these peg dolls in the gallery shop in Sheffield and had thought I might make my daughters an angel each, but then wondered if they might be too difficult...then I saw the book on your recent post and will try and find it to have a go next year.
ReplyDeleteCheck out the library for her book. Webloomhere is the name of her blog. There are also online templates. The Works sell little packs of pegs for £1 . Do have a go, it is not difficult at all, and very satisfying.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you Bless
DeleteI saw your nativity scene yesterday on the recipients blog and thought as always how patient you are in making beautiful small things. I have seen a FB post about making the manger scene in a glass jar and hope to try it very soon. Catriona
