Quite a while ago (before Independence Day), D used a homeschooler's tutorial to craft some Revolutionary soldiers from old-fashioned clothespins. I like the details she managed despite her lack of a tiny paintbrush. Look at that Redcoat's little bag!
I love toy soldiers and I suspect she only made these for me. They hang out with me in the kitchen - along with our other clothespin dolls: St. Patrick, Margaret of Scotland, and Martin of Tours.

Very creative and cute! One year at VBS, we made little British soldiers out of old clothespins. I had forgotten about that until I saw your dd's.
Thanks, Salena! I think I may try to get her to make a few nutcracker ones for Christmas.
