9 Ideas For Painting Your Own Peg Dolls

April 30, 2015 by Larissa Coleman Leave a Comment

pegdolls

Peg dolls have become increasingly popular in the indie craft world and are a fantastic way to express your creativity. Wooden peg dolls are a blank canvas, waiting to be transformed into any character or figure you can imagine. The possibilities are endless, and the results can be truly stunning.

If you are new to painting wooden peg dolls, it’s important to use the right kind of paint to achieve the desired effect. Acrylic paint is the most popular and easiest to use. It dries quickly, adheres well to wood, and is available in a wide range of colors. However, you can also use watercolors, oil paints, or even spray paint.

When it comes to painting peg dolls, the key is to take your time and be patient. It’s a small canvas, so it can be easy to make mistakes. Start with simple designs and work your way up to more complex ones. It’s also helpful to have some basic painting skills, like blending and shading, to make your peg dolls look more realistic.

To help get you started, here are 9 ideas for painting your own peg dolls:
