Wooden Peg Dolls

My son now really caught the super hero bug, he is all about dressing up in super hero costumes - he has a green lantern and a batman costume he got from his grandma that owns a costume shop and it's not even close to Halloween yet! 

Anyhow, I decided to make him some wooden doll pegs super heroes, awhile back I made him some Sesame Street characters and just super man, but this time I made Spiderman, Batman, Captain America and Green Lantern in one day: 


After the kids went to bed, my husband and I were chatting and he expressed interested in bringing our son to the movies to see "The Avengers", so I decided to make a few more super heroes that are in the movie, so I made Iron Man, Thor and The Hulk:


I purchased the wooden pegs at Michael's, sketched the characters with a pencil, painted them with acrylic paint and then applied a clear coat to protect them. They were super fun to make and I already have new ideas in my head, even my little girl will get some princesses when she's big enough to play with these.

  2. Hi there! These look great! Can I ask what a clear coat it? Is it a special finish or will I find it where the acrylic paints are? Thanks!
