Day 7: How to Make an Acorn Peg Doll Ornament

LOVE PEG DOLL CRAFTS? HERE'S A STEP-BY-STEP VIDEO TUTORIAL SHOWING HOW TO MAKE AN ACORN PEG DOLL ORNAMENT USING A WOODEN PEG DOLL, AN ACORN CAP, AND FABRIC SCRAPS.

Nothing says Christmas quite like a beautiful nativity scene, and my DIY Nativity version remains one of my all time favorite craft projects.

I loved the wooden peg dolls so much that I've since made a Holy Family set, a rainbow peg doll set, and I'm always on the lookout for more ways to use them.

What better way than to make an ornament, combining a wooden peg doll with an acorn cap! (Here's a post on how I prepare acorn for crafts.)

We’re on Day 7 of The 30 Days of Ornaments Project, where we will make 30 handmade ornaments over the next 30 days.

Today, we are combining an acorn cap with a wooden peg doll, and turning it into a darling DIY acorn peg doll ornament!

Here's how to make one!
