For today’s blog post I’m going to show you what the wood people peg dolls look like with hats made for dolls. We have hats made from straw and black felt materials. The smallest straw hat – the 2″ version – seems to work the best of all. The smallest black felt hat is a bit too large but may work well if you add hair to the peg doll.
Check them out below!

I really like the 2″ straw hats for the people peg dolls! Looks great to me.
This post concerns only one wood people peg doll – the Large Man Peg Doll Body. This is to keep the post shorter because there are lots of combinations…

It’s possible you will need drill a 3/16″ hole into the head then glue a short piece of dowel into the hole… then wrap that dowel with something like paper or cotton balls or anything, really… then press down the candle cup down (large hole down). Glue both together. I’m not sure if glue alone is strong enough unless it’s purely a display piece. I may do a project with these items in the future for fun. I will post the results!
The other candle cups are not as impressive but I’ll show them to you so you can see what they look like. Click on or hover cursor over each picture to read the comments – specific model numbers for each. Yeah, some of the candle cups are wayyy too small but showing them anyway. The one with the #1059 candle cup is a good one – similar to the Beefeater one but smaller candle cup.

Now for the last one… I used the wood tulip candle cup for this one. Another variation on the Beefeater theme! Or a soldier… Up to you.

I will be posting more like this for each wood doll peg style. Keep an eye out for these later posts which may include actual drilling and gluing.
