Make way for the little wooden people!!

Call 'em wood people, peggies, or peg dolls but they are scrumptiously cute! 

Here are some sources of inspiration that make these some enticing crafts to try:

• Instructions for making a wooden peg doll necklace (see photo right)
• Adorable wood people from different careers, personalities, and even adam and eve
• Enchanting wood people complete with their own homes and accessories
• Recreate your own family in customized wood people
• Snow white and the seven midgets (aka dwarves) little people
• There are even super-hero wood people or "peggies"
• Wooden dolls from small for big

I think they are nostalgic...I realized they looked a lot like these historical creatures (or these in winter garb see photo left).

I think they went extinct for being a choking hazard due to small size and small parts and morphed into these fanciful plastics.

If you want to try your hand at making some of these you might have to look around a bit.  Apparently some craft stores carry them in some parts of the world, but I haven't had much luck yet.

To look for them online you can find them called angel turnings, pegs, peggies, or even wooden people. Craftparts seems to be a well-liked and popular source from my reading of other blogs and posters.
