Last year I started making my own Christmas ornaments. I thoroughly recommend it, it’s a lot of fun. Here’s how it turned out last Christmas.
This year I’m making peg people. Inspired by Martha Stewart and these cuties on Flickr. Here’s a sneak peek of my work so far.
Two down, twenty four to go. I plan on keeping six for our tree and giving the rest away as gifts. Suggestions for characters are more than welcome (so far I’m making some more 18th Century style people, Mr T, a little drummer boy and a hobo). And if anyone knows where I would buy teeny tiny screw in eyelets I’d be totally in your debt.
PS Photos of buttons are on the way, I swear.

A simple slice of fruitcake
are the eyelets for hanging the peg people on the tree? if so I’d suggest thin wire (fuse wire??) wrapped around tiny screws (maybe from glasses/sunnies) if you can’t find eyelets small enough
also, peg people should include starwars characters, barbie & GI Joe, and the IT crowd (especially Moss)

Oh oh oh, I really want to make IT Crowd peg people! And maybe Black Books too. I’m not sure what to do about hair though. Moss’ would be particularly difficult. Speaking of IT Crowd crafts, this is seriously awesome and I want it for my very own.
