How to make a rainbow peg doll

Sometimes I need to remind myself to keep it simple when it comes to crafts. I get all excited thinking about little hats, clothes, wings, not to mention adding in some paint here and there. Keeping it simple can be so very lovely though. And sometimes simple means finding the time to craft amid everything else.

To make a simple rainbow peg doll I used:

My daughter crafted alongside me, painting her own little peg doll. While I painted a rainbow on mine.

We chose some felt for our wings and I cut out a simple wing shape.

I sewed some thread along the middle of the wings, then wrapped it around the neck of the peg doll twice. Stitching into the felt each time I went around. We added a little glue to hold the wings against the back of the peg dolls.

Finished and ready for play!

Rainbow party

One of Dino Boy’s new school friends celebrated her birthday the other day
And we were asked to come along and join the fun…
…at her Rainbow Birthday party *squee*
When we arrived at the park at the lake
we saw beautiful rainbow decorations floating in the wind
And awaiting us all, were coloured arches
calling out to be decorated in recycled materials
Children and adults alike could not resit the call to create!

Dino Boy went straight to blue 
{his favourite colour!}
before making his way to the other colours *smile*
And when it was all done something magical happened
or so it seemed to me… since I looked away for a moment…. and then back
to see a rainbow
*happy grin*

Happy days,
Kelly
