Here's another one of O's handmade birthday gifts. I really did not enjoy painting these dolls, and I'm so glad to be finished! I painted the four of us (Elliott, O, Little Kicker, and me) and my niece, M. I'd love for O to have dolls representing the rest of our immediate family, but I'm not looking forward to painting them :)
I will make them for you!!! I made some of these for my girls for Christmas and I loved the painting part. I am not crafty in the least but that is right up my alley. Seriously, if you tell me what size dolls you are using I will make them. I have some of the 3" tall ones with "dresses," some of the 2" tall ones that are shaped like standard vintage Little People, and some of the teeny (1.5"?) ones with "dresses." jen.diagnosisurine@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteReally impressed with your dolls. The kids will love them.
ReplyDeletelove these!!! where did you find the wood pieces? i will also have to take your idea for appliques! i love your ideas!!! super cute site.
ReplyDeleteso cute! now i want to make some for our family, but i think i'd get frustrated w/the painting part, too. there are 7 of us, so it would take me forever! you're are adorable. great job! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a really awesome idea! You did a great job painting, you must have a steady hand.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
These are adorable! What kind of paint did you use?
ReplyDeleteI am truly amazed at the effort you put into things for your little girl! Truly! You inspire me to be more crafty! I thought I was already, but you have so many more great ideas. I love that you would paint those little dolls and put that much effort into the detail and not even enjoy it. I also adore all your homemade gift ideas! That is right up our alley and matches our goal for spending less money on toys, and focusing more on "natural" items instead of battery powered plastic toys.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Thanks for the comments!
ReplyDeleteJen- I may have to take you up on that :) Right now I'm trying to convince everyone that it would be so meaningful if they each paint their own peg person, so we'll see...
Shanna- I've found the wood pieces at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and Casey's Wood Products (online).
Mary Anne- I used acrylic craft paint, and I painted over that with a layer of mod podge to give them a finished look and to protect the paint.

ReplyDeleteI don't like having to click on comments, click back to the blog, click on comments, etc.
You are punishing users that are doing NOTHING wrong.
Nevermind. I figured out how to bypass it.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those. What a sweet gift for your little girl. I think my kids may be getting some for Christmas!
