    During my de-cluttering I came across some oddments of mdf -just the right size to make shaker-style pegs............does anyone know of a site with a few ideas on for these ? Thought I could maybe do them for pressies.
    Also how do you paint mdf ? Does it need some special preparation or can I just put emulsion/gloss or whatever on ?:confused:
    You could use them to make little peg boards like the ones in this post http://sotreadsoftly.typepad.com/so_tread_softly/2007/09/daffodil-fair.html

    vintagepleasure - they look brilliant ! Thanks for that link. Can;t find out how to stick the pegs on (or are the screwed on somehow?) but maybe woodglue would do it.

    Hi Mary. When I have made those I have just glued the pegs on. ;) They look nice painted too.

    we said this too over on the other thread but we all kept coming back over to post and then a lot of people just werent here or over there so it kind of felt like a lot of interest had died off :( shame as its a great thread and i for one wouldnt have made such a lot of good friends without it :T
