DIY Halloween Witch Peg Dolls
DIY peg dolls are one of those classic craft projects that will always be a great and easy kids’ craft. We have come up with various designs for different holidays over the years, and these witch peg dolls are the perfect way to get ready for the Halloween season. Not only do they make cute Halloween decor, but your kids can keep playing with them after the holiday is over.

Which Witch Peg Doll Do You Love?
We chose a few different colors of felt, embroidery floss, and roving wool to give each witch their own unique look. You can easily customize your witch peg dolls by switching up the colors you use, styling their hair in new ways, or creating other little accessories for them. Our tutorial will show you how to make tiny brooms for them, but you could also craft some small felt pumpkins, a cauldron, or whatever else you imagine!
Crafting tip: Use the extra peg doll bodies for more projects, like our dracula, mummy, skeleton and cat!
How to Make Felt Witch Peg Dolls
- Gather your craft tools and materials. Then download the pattern below.
- Cut felt pieces according to the pattern, using scissors (recommended) or a cutting machine (optional).
- Cut a small X in the middle of the witch hat brim — big enough to fit the peg doll head.
- Blanket stitch the edge of the witch’s hat using 3 strands of embroidery floss.

Leave a CommentWhat size pegs should I use? When I use the link it takes me to a group of pegs with 5 different sizes.
These are made from the largest size. 🙂
We made these this weekend at our family craft weekend and it was a huge hit. Thank you for such a fun and unique Halloween decoration!
So great to hear! These are some of my favorite Halloween cuties!
Is there a svg file for the Halloween witch peg dolls?
We just added one for you 🙂
Do you sell ones that are complete Is so what are the price
Sorry Karen, we only sell the patterns and templates for this DIY project 🙂
The dolls are so cute, I can’t wait to make some. Thank you, Deborah
Thanks Deborah!
Looks like a great project. Where did you get the peg dolls.
How tall are the dolls.
Thank you.

At the bottom of the post in “Shop This Project” there is a link to Amazon where we purchased the dolls. They are about 2 3/4″ tall.
witches at less weight (cardboard body) together with bats and small black cats this project would make a nice mobile
Yeah that would look nice!
