Party with My Peeps Easter Wreath

March 14, 2012  Easter | My Projects | Uncategorized | Wreaths

What says Easter better than a gooey sugar coated marshmallow shaped chick or bunny?

The infamous Easter peep has been reincarnated into a wreath!

Remember my marshmallow wreath? – well I figured …

peeps are just marshmallows with the added cuteness factor so why not do a Peep wreath?!

Eclectically Vintage Easter craft

I always feel like somebody’s watching me!  (extra credit if you remember who sang that)!

Eclectically Vintage Easter

Peeps Wreath

* styrofoam wreath (mine is 16″)
* Peeps (I used 140) – go wild with chicks, bunnies, multi-color or single
* toothpicks (same amount as peeps)
* wired ribbon for hanging

1) Stick toothpick in styrofoam wreath
2) Stick Peep onto toothpick
3) Wrap ribbon around wreath and tie into a bow

That’s it – can’t get any easier than that!

And here’s my marshmallow wreath that really started the idea brewing.

Have a great day my peeps!

    Found you through YHL today and I think this is such a cute idea! I’m obsessed with peeps, and this gives me another excuse to buy them in mass quantities this year. 🙂

    Do you think you could use a spray lacquer on it to make it last several seasons?

      I’m sure you could spray it to give it more staying power but the peeps are hard as a rock! I think if I just wrap it in a plastic bag when I store it, it should be ok without the spray.

      A friend suggested that you culd spray it with a clear sealer to protect it from getting sticky and attracting bugs.

    Just popped over from the Young House Love Pinterest Challenge. I have to admit what drew me over was the project name – A Peep Wreath? As in marshmallow Peeps? Brilliant! It looks so cute, but I’m afraid it wouldn’t last very long in my house without little pieces going missing. This is why we never have real candy canes on our Christmas tree 🙂

      I stored the marshmallow wreath in a plastic garbage bag. The marshmallows are very hard so I think it will hold up just fine – will find out in December!
