Halloween Wooden Peg People

Recently I have seen all kinds of precious peg people. When I realized you can buy a package of 8 wooden peg people for $2.49 at Hobby Lobby, I decided to try my hand at painting. I started out with some simple characters...a witch, vampire, ghost, mummy, and a pumpkin head. I love that they are small and easy to store each year unlike the rest of our Halloween treasures.

 

 

Supplies:

 

Wooden Peg People

Paint

Sharpie Markers

 

Directions:

 

 

1. I started by painting three wooden pegs black and two white. I used some accrylic paint I had at home.

 

2. Next, I painted on faces. This took several coats, but the paint dried quickly.

 

3. I used a black sharpie marker to decorate the ghost and a red one to draw a heart on the mummy.

 

4. After a few more painted designs I drew on faces with sharpie markers to finish them off.

 

 

 

My son had fun playing with this rough crowd of spooky Halloween creatures all weekend.
They remind me of the old fashioned (antique) Little People. At a total cost of $2.50, this was a great investment of time! Now I just wish we still had our cardboard haunted house from last year. We might need to construct a new one.
