So somehow after trawling Pinterest for weeks I came up with the great idea of painting my own peg dolls as cake toppers. So I ordered some on plain pegs online and bought acrylic paints etc from hobbycraft and began my mission.
then when I met with the bakery and picked my cake..I realised I wouldn't need a cake topper as it has icing flowers on the top. Grr.
But being a frugal scottish bride..from the highlands no less (the tightest penny pinchers) I decided not to waste them and to use them as decoration for the bottom of our wish tree.
here's a pic so far...all the block colouring done but still lots of the finer details of my dress, his cravat etc to be done. And obviously our faces. Not bad for a first attempt but I'd love to buy more professional brushes and paints and try it as a proper hobby.
