Lucky Leprechauns

Can I just say, I am a "little" obessed with peg dolls these days.  My children really seem to like them too.  I've been finding them being moved, and played with a lot.  Over Christmas break Miss M. made a nativity seen with peg dolls.  For our American Girl - Kirsten unit study group, all the girls made little Swedish peg dolls.  I'm even thinking about making some Superman characters for Handy H., and a fun little animal set for C-dawg.

Today, we thought it would be fun to get into the St Patty's Day spirit a little early.  These little Leprechaun peg dolls were awfully fun to make.  I got inspiration from the blog this little project, and the book Making Peg Dolls.  A few wooden peg dolls picked up at the local craft store, some felt, pipe cleaners, lace, ribbon, and anything else you want to craft with will do.  The glue gun is the quickest way to get these all put together.

Miss M. decided to make a flower fairy as well.  Her inspiration comes from the book, Forest Fairy Crafts.  This is a great way to utilize scraps of all your crafting materials you may have laying around the house.  Take a few minutes to make one of these fun little dolls.  It will make you smile.

Heres to hoping a little bit o' the Leprechaun luck comes our way.

Cheers!
