Instructions in 4 steps Wooden clothes pegs serve as the basis for these cute figurines. Apply the craft idea “Teepee” in order to get the Wild West into your home. And this is how it works:

Preparations

Felt cuttings for 1 figure each
Head: Cut out 4 circles with a diameter of 1.6 cm and glue them together.
Skirt: 5 cm × 2 cm
Belt: 5 cm × 0,8 cm
Neck: 1.5 cm × 0,8 cm
Shoes: 2 cuttings measuring 0.5 cm × 1 cm each

Sisal cord
Hair: 7 pieces, each one 11 cm long

Step 1

Start by making the body, using 1 small clothes peg and 1 small wooden stick. First, cut pieces measuring 1.5 cm from the rounded side of both wooden sticks and glue them firmly to the clothes pegs as shoes. Then glue the small felt cutouts onto shoes.

Step 2

Put the skirt/belt around the clothes peg and glue them. For the neck, fold the felt strip and glue it to the top of the clothes peg. When the glue has dried out, the head can be glued on.

Step 3

As for the hair, untwist the sisal cord, then glue the individual strands onto the head to get a hairdo. Then draw the eyes with the Multi-Liner marker. With the baker's twine, you can make a headband and wrap the plaits. Finally, attach a small feather to the headband to adorn your little doll.

With a few branches and wood from the garden, a great tepee village can be created.
