The Sitting Duck Clothes Pegs Bring Back a Favorite Game

— July 1, 2014 — Art & Design
With these adorable Sitting Duck Clothes Pegs on the clothesline, your gaming nostalgia centered around the shooting game is inevitably going to come back. Though they have been reimagined as clothes pegs, that’s not the single use of these charming ducks at all. You can also use them for hanging pictures or notes and for sealing your opened bag of chips or coffee too. Every pack comprises four clothes pegs coming with a spark of incredible beauty. The ducks look extremely vibrant in terms of their color and design, which has been beautifully complemented with the bulls-eye and hit sign. When the ducks are upright, you’d see the “bulls-eye” mark and when they are upside down, the “hit” mark will stand out. That is to make you rejuvenate the spirit of the game you once played a lot.
