Here’s a good article by Spunnys in France on how to paint peg dolls. Interestingly, Spunnys sells spun cotton people pegs. The painting process are the same for wood people pegs. It’s important to spend more on better paints. Also, don’t forget that if your painted peg doll turns out badly… just repaint the whole thing one solid color then start all over again! Practice makes perfect.

Wood Disc Magnets using Scrapbook Paper by Leanne
Got some scrapbook paper sitting around unused? Then get them on wood discs and make lovely magnets for your fridge!
You can paint or draw or even do wood burning (requires special tool) on the wood discs if you don’t want to use scrapbook paper. I personally have some old wallpaper on rolls that I might try adding to wood discs for fun.
This how to guide is made by Leanne at organizeyourstuffnow.com. Have fun looking thru it!

Bead Wheel for the base of certain people peg dolls…
We have a new main page feature up and running. By playing around in the warehouse, I made a discovery… this bead wheel will fit this angel peg doll very well! It will also fit this other angel peg doll but not that well ( too tight and not really deep into the bead wheel). If you want a huge head, this 1-1/4″ wood dowel cap will work well. All 4 items are in the picture above this post… Have fun!

How to transfer inkjet images to wood…
This is a good add on post for the story dice project posted earlier. It is how to transfer inkjet images to wood. I was surprised that this would work… You have to apply glue to the paper then print images on that glued side of the paper! The glue has to be dry, of course… It goes on a bit more… Full description of this process by matsutake. Have fun!
