Valentine Peg Doll Love

Happy Valentine's Day...four days ago!  Of course I have excuses for not posting sooner...I'm a lazy blogger...it was my birthday!  You choose which excuse is better!:)
I worked all last week on these peg doll Valentine's for Will's preschool class. Of course I added to his list of 12 and included our boy cousins and his teachers! 

I was inspired by this Valentine Peg Doll post here and researched more peg doll ideas here. I kept looking at pinterest to make sure I was creating my superheros correctly...you know from all my comic book experience!  Just search superhero peg dolls and you will see a wide range of ideas and detail to choose from.
















How to:

1. I painted each peg doll according to design I envisioned.  I pretty much just free handed the painting.
 Disclaimer:  I cheated and used a black paint pen to help with the outlining and facial details.

2. Create cards with cheesy sayings and glue to cardstock.

3. I used small hole punch to make two holes in left side then tied doll in place with ribbon.



Unfortunately I didn't get pictures of my teacher look-a-like peg dolls...hope they recognized themselves! 

I'm slightly inspired to create some more...ideas?  Would you like a peg doll representation of yourself?!? 
Let me know what you think!
Love, Andrea
