Fox peg dolls. I’ve been thinking about making fox peg dolls. And here they are! These are standard boy pegs, 2 3/8 inches tall.

Paint the peg with orange or reddish brown non-toxic watercolor paint. Leave a triangle on the lower 1/4 of the face and an oval on the chest. Allow the paint to dry.
Paint the lower face and the chest of the fox with non-toxic opaque white acrylic paint. Allow the pain to dry. Paint the tops of the legs. This can also be done after the legs are painted.
Paint the legs with olive green or dark brown non-toxic watercolor paint. Allow to dry. Paint the feet with black paint. Add the opaque white paint if that wasn’t done in the previous step. Allow to dry
Seal with beeswax polish. Allow to dry for several hours or overnight. Polish with a soft, dry cloth.
Using a watercolor brush pen, add eyes and nose.
Cut two triangles of matching orange or reddish brown wool felt for the ears. Attach with craft glue. (The grid behind the scrap paper pattern templates below is 1 inch square).
Cut an oblong tail from the same felt as the ears. Cut small cream or white triangles and glue to the tip of the tail. If you drew a template for the ears, it can be used for the white on the tail too. Glue the tail to back of the peg, with the flat edge of the tail at the aligned with the bottom edge of the peg.

Have fun with your new fox friends!

NOTE: Due to their small size and tiny parts, these fox pegs are not appropriate for children under age 3 years.
