Together with my four year old, we made our family out of wooden peg dolls. Later, my husband did cut down one of the little ones to make her smaller. I especially like the teen boy's hair.
The little girl dolls were fun to make. I created a few for gifts as well. They remind me of little worry dolls. I liked these two tutorials: Bendy Doll Tutorial and Making Bendy Dolls.
My older daughter liked them too and requested a bed for two.
A high school friend of mine just recently lost his six year old son. Because I had "worry dolls" on the mind and also this family's tragedy, I thought I'd try a little boy doll. He came out pretty cute.
I ran out of the regular thickness of pipe cleaners and started using some thinner pipe cleaners. I liked them even better, especially for the smaller dolls.
Here is a sweet babywearing mama and baby doll in a ring sling. The baby came out so cute. I decided to leave them without faces.
The beads I purchased were completely unfinished wood. I used an all purpose sealer to prevent bleeding.
