Pop art rocking chair made of pegs
To build the chair we used fast drying glue, which allowed us to connect the pegs together without having to wait around for them to dry and risking for the whole thing to collapse. Once we finished the chair we decorated with the decoupage technique. Getting the paper in the small gaps and making sure the whole surface is covered can be tricky and requires a lot of patience, which cannot be asked of young children so this craft is suitable for kids 7 and over.
To complete our chair we painted it with water based varnish.
It must be the time of year for doing things with pegs. I’ve just been reading about making “Peg Fairies” at http://madebyjoel.com/2011/04/clothespin-fairy-dolls.html
It brought back lots of happy memories from my own childhood!
