Nativity

So, I had the thought while I was making the peg people for Christmas to do a nativity – but I didn’t think I had enough pieces for it. After some extra encouragement from friends though, I began digging through my box and found a number of pieces I could use – they are pig than my original peg people – which is kinda nice for the nativity. I had a ton of fun and spent every spare moment I had painting on it for the last few days. (When I get excited about something, I have a hard time leaving it alone).

So, here are the pictures of my nativity – technically it’s Paul’s Christmas present – even though he’s seen it throughout the process.

All done with my Peg People!

I’ve been having way to much fun painting my little peg people! Here are the last three sets:

Harry Potter

Wizard of Oz

Sesame Street

The whole kit & kaboodle 😀

 

That was fun! I’d make more, but I ran out of some of the supplies 😀

Star Wars!

Okay, late last night I finished my second peg people set

Star Wars!!The main challenge I hit here was not having a good super fine paintbrush. I had to dip my pencil in the paint and use that for Darth Vader’s & Yoda’s lines – which was really tricky and they’re not very smooth – I think the kids will still love them anyway (well, I hope so, at least!!)

This time I took the photo after I sprayed them with the clear acrylic spray – it makes such a difference!!

 

 

May the force be with you!! (and with me as I finish my other 3 sets!!)
