Make some cute autumn gnome peg dolls

IPlease meet the Autumn Gnomes… aren’t they sweet little fellows? For those of you who want to make some too, here is a tutorial on how to make these sweet little Autumn Gnomes that made up of balsa wood from peg people, felt and a couple of wee felted acorns.

Kitty was my helper. She chose three gorgeous Autumn colors from my plentiful stack of wool felt. If you want to buy some for yourself, you can find a great selection from one of my Magic Sponsors, A Child’s Dream Come True.

First, we made the little cloak. Kitty took a piece of white paper and cut it into just the right sized rectangle to measure all around the peg dolls body. Then, she held her ‘template’ on the piece of felt and cut around the edges. She then used the hot glue gun to stick the cloak onto her doll. Of course, for a neater doll, you can sew the cloak together and then stick it onto the peg doll… but, Kitty was in a mood to play and wanted her doll faster than sewing would allow… hot glue worked just fine.

Now for the little gnome hat. We cut out a triangle, making sure it was just the right length to fit over the peg dolls head when glued together.

Then, using the hot glue gun again, we glued the two other edges of the triangle together and, when the glue was dried, trimmed off the ‘globby’ bits with a pair of sharp scissors.

We put a dab of glue onto the inside of the hat and stuck it onto the gnomes head.

Isn’t he a cutie!
Kitty then chose three of the smallest little acorn caps she could find in my stash and glued colorful felt balls into them to make tiny felted acorns.
And then we stuck the acorns onto our Autumn Gnomes.

Three little mischief makers they are!

Both Kitty and Teddy are enthralled! They love these gorgeous little gnomes made with their very own hands.

Have you added some new crafted goodies to your Autumn nature table too?
If you want to learn how to make these felted acorns, at last I’ve succumbed to popular demand and offer Felted Acorn Kits in my shop, Fairyfolk… click here to see the lovely colors you can choose from.


Cutest fashion balsa wooden spoon dolls

saw the cutest fashion balsa wooden spoon dolls a while ago by the talented Lucy of Craftberry Bush and just knew I’d have to make some for myself. Just a warning though, these are a little addictive to create!

You can buy wooden spoons from shops like Create My Fete and then use your pencils, fabric scraps, sequins, buttons and whatever else in your stash to make your own gorgeous gals (or guys!).

Of course I had to give them their own personalities, so without further ado, I’d like to introduce the ladies to you…

You can even make your own wooden doll bunting to display your ladies.
Just put a dab from your hot glue gun onto the back of their heads and attach to string.

Hang with washi tape and you’ll have your own gallery of cute fashions.
Aren’t they the cutest! This would be a great holiday craft with the kids don’t you think?

I’d love to see your dolls if you make some too.

And if you’re after the original fashion wooden doll DIY, you can find it on Skip to My Lou. Lucy’s detailed instructions are perfect.
