Dolly Peg Dolls

Need some quick characters for a puppet show? Want to create a whole range of adorable dolls to play with? Dolly pegs are perfect for creating people and our step by step guide will show you how!
  • Step 1Draw a face and some hair onto the top of a dolly peg using markers.
  • Step 2Using the dolly peg dress template provided, copy onto cover paper and decorate with craft paper or draw your own patterns and dress designs and colour in with markers. Try layering the craft paper and cut out shapes to give the dress more interest like hearts and flowers.
  • Step 3Once complete, cut out the dress. Try using craft scissors to cut the bottom of the dress to make decorative edges.
  • Step 4Wrap the dress around the dolly peg and tape at the back to secure it. Make lots of unique dolly peg dolls in pretty dresses!
