Arisha's Inspiration Corner
A little blog to share crafts, recipes and ideas with you x
These dolly pegs make such cute gifts. I use mine mainly to seal packets of flour, lentils, coffee and stuff in the kitchen, but also to peg up my kid's artwork on a string and even to actually peg out the laundry! These are really easy and enjoyable to make, so grab your paintbrushes and lets get creative!
WHAT YOU WILL NEED: - A pack of wooden dolly pegs (very cheap on ebay) - Acrylic paints -Thin paintbrushes - Water based varnish - Strip of thick cardboard WHAT TO DO: - Lay newspaper out over your work surface - Wedge your piece of thick card to a standing position and stand your pegs along this - Paint your base colour/s onto the pegs - Once dry, paint cute little patterns onto the pegs. (My fave so far is tiny toadstools on a green background) - Once dry coat in varnish - If you are going to give these as a gift you could wrap them in a bundle with a pretty piece of ribbon and sweeten someone's day!
