Easy DIY Handmade Peg Doll Family Christmas Ornaments

Do you enjoy making handmade ornaments with your kids? Every year the boys and I make at least one new ornament for our Christmas tree. Today I'm sharing a super cute peg doll ornament that the boys made with me last weekend. Even though 2020 has been difficult, I'm hopeful that we'll also remember these sweet family moments too.

Before we start...

Remember how I just said that we make at least 1 new Christmas ornament for the tree each year? Here's what our Christmas tree looks like FILLED with handmade ornaments. Ha! I'm typically a minimalist but I go bonkers with Christmas ornaments. The more, the merrier!

Materials Needed:

• Acrylic/ Craft Paint (Or you can use watercolor paint too!)
• Paint Brushes
• Pipe Cleaner
• Peg Dolls
• Permanent Markers
• Hot Glue
• Popsicle Stick (They come in all sizes, so just choose one that will fit your family members. Or, just use a piece of cardboard.)

How to Make a Peg Doll Famly Ornament

1. Give each member a peg doll to paint and decorate. Once the paint dries, use a permanent marker to draw on a face and write the year. (Boo 2020. Hopefully, next year will be better!)

2. Hot glue the dolls to a popsicle stick.

3. Use a pipe cleaner to create an arch around the family.

Use hot-glue to hold the pipe cleaner in place!

:) And that's it!
