Superhero peg people

I loved doing Lucy's peg princesses, so the natural thing to do would be to create peg people for my boys! Superheroes it is then.

Due to popular demand, I am now selling a set of 6 peg Superheroes of your choice for £50 (excluding postage). Please contact me for further details: sarahyewman@gmail.com

I sketch out the main design, trying to minimise the detail, albeit this is easier said than done with the logos, but I think I've cracked it!

Each 2 inch peg is individually hand painted, therefore no 2 pegs are ever the same. I also use child friendly paint and coat in 3 layers of non toxic varnish.

Choose from: Superman, Supergirl, Batman, Robin, Captain America, Incredible Hulk, Spiderman,Wonder Woman, Iron Man, Green Lantern, Thor and Wolverine.

The real test comes with the painting.

Batman slowly taking shape. Not looking forward to doing the bat logo though.
The Incredible Hulk
A bit rough and ready, but getting there...
Captain America, Spidey and let's not forget the girl power, enter Wonder Woman... Just 3 layers of varnish and we're done.
All varnished and ready for their next mission! Any ideas for the next Superhero?
Iron Man, Wolverine and Thor down, Mr Incredible and The Green Lantern to go!

  1. Sarah, These are fantastic - I especially love Superman (that hairdo!). We've painted a set of the village people (http://stockadesupply.blogspot.ca/2011/04/free-project-plans-from-stockade.html). Stockade offers different styles and sizes of wooden people too (https://stockade.ca).

  2. They are fabulous! You did such a great job. My little boy would love these - he is a tiny bit superhero crazy at the moment. I am a new follower of your lovely blog and I stumbled upon it via Craft gawker!
