Dolly pegs

Dolly pegs are small wooden pegs traditionally used in craft projects, especially for making simple handmade dolls.
They are usually made from smooth, unfinished wood and resemble classic clothes pegs, but often with a rounded “head” shape that makes them ideal for decorating as characters. Crafters typically paint or draw faces on the top, then add materials like fabric, yarn, felt, or wool to create hair, clothing, and accessories.
They’re popular in:
Children’s craft activities
School art projects
Handmade toys and decorations
Seasonal crafts (e.g., Christmas or Easter figures)
Dolly pegs are valued because they are inexpensive, easy to customise, and suitable for all ages, making them a staple in traditional and educational craft kits.
