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?!
I always feel like somebody’s watching me! (extra credit if you remember who sang that)!
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 🙂
Found you from YHL Challenge… and the peep wreath is on my list to do with my little 3-year old. I love it! Too cute, (and funny!) 🙂
How did your marshmallow wreath hold up? I am worried about bugs and sticky mess as I live in hot FL.
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!
Kelly
Loving this! It would take everything in me not to just pull one off and eat it every time I walked by
Super cute – I know my girls would try to eat it! Take care, Laura
I love this! It is the cutest wreath I have ever seen!
Oh Kelly, I love your Peeps wreath! It is so cute & such a fun pop of color. Thanks so much for linking to my party.
***I always feel like somebody’s watching me***is by Rockwell with Michael Jackson singing that famous chorus. Can you tell I love the 80s? lol
I forgot to add…following you on Linky now!
Ha! That is cute it’s making my teeth hurt. hehe Love it!!
That peep wreath is sick! I love it!
This is so disgustingly cute! How can you not like millions of peeps on a wreath?
Hah, great minds think alike! Your wreath came out absolutely adorable. 🙂
Kelly, that is ten kinds of awesome!!! I am so doing (or at least pinning) that!
~Elena
P.S. Rockwell! With guest vocals by Michael Jackson. That will be in my heard for the rest of the night 😉
Okay, I’ve been searching around Google for a peeps wreath and here it is all day on your blog!
And sorry I missed your call. I’m a total dork when it comes to v-mail. Like I don’t pick it up. And didn’t recognize your #. Will call you tomorrow …
Cuz I was a bit crabby today (= no fun)
And I’m pinning cuz I’ve been itching to pin a peeps wreath all day …
🙂
Linda
Love these Kelly! Thanx for coming to the party!
oh but i just love peeps, how can you turn them into a wreath! 🙂 cute cute!!
Laura
We just bought some peeps yesterday. If I attempted to make a wreath, I am afraid that most of the peeps would end up eaten and not on the wreath! Cute idea!

I love, love these wreathes. They are so great I would have to preven people from being tempted to eat them.
You ARE the most creative gal on the planet. Some one else is just as creative as you!
~Bliss~
P.S. I can sing the song but no idea who sang it. Now get it outta my head please…..
~Bliss~
Super cute idea~Love it!
Cute! I LOVE PEEPS!! I am going to have to make one of these for our Easter Bake/Craft sale.
Beautiful, sugary, delicious I love it!
Debbie
These are just too darn cute!!
This is so cute! I haven’t seen one before. I’d love to ask my granddaughter to make this with me. She loves Peeps!
Kelly, this is A-DORABLE! Such a fun Easter wreath. Thanks SO much for sharing it at the “Spring Fling” linky party over at my place!

Your wreaths are making me hungry. lol I love those.

Jaime from crafty scrappy happy
Kelly! Yes….. yes….
Wreath + Mirror = Heavenly Peeps Springy LOVE
But tell me… with all the marshmallow + hot glue…. how have your fingers not been eaten alive by death from any “Smores Disaster”?!
Happy Happy SPRING!

This is a great idea! I want the bonus points!!!! This singer was Rockwell and Michael Jackson sang back-up. Hey, do I get bonus points?
Maureen
Kelly… now I can’t stop singing that song! Reminds me of the old days! The peeps wreath is adorable!
Take care,
Trish
My sisters and I have a longstanding search for new peep ideas. I’ll definitely be passing this link along to them.
PEEPALICIOUS!
m ^..^
I don’t know how you make it without eating all the Peeps!! Such a temptation! I love it though! Hope you stop by and share it at my Link Party! (ps – will see you at the Mission Possible: Its a Cinch Party!)
Seriously, this is the cutest thing ever. I think I would eat half of it before it was done. Thanks again for sharing.
SO SO CUTE! I found you via the Newbie Party. This is really adorable!!!!! Happy Spring! Beth @ Flair-for-Home 🙂
Adorable! Can’t figure out which one I love better- the peeps or marshmellows! Both are adorable! Great job!
It’s a tough choice! Thanks!
What a cute idea!! I have never even thought of using the peeps for this purpose but I love it and will have to try this!!
How fun is this?! I LOVE Peeps…so much so, I’m afraid I’d eat them all up! =0)
How beautiful! I love your wreath!
Thanks – the Peeps are so much fun!
What a cute idea-A much healthier way of celebrating Easter with Peeps too!
Best wishes,
Natasha in Oz
My sis used to gobble those things down when we were kids!
Kelly, This Peeps wreath is just so cute! Bummer to find out you aren’t the only brilliant one around to create such a fun wreath. 🙂 I’ll have to buy some Peeps on sale after Easter and create one. Cheap cheeps….. LOL
~ Sue
I paid $1 for a 12 pack – $11 total for all the Peeps (I went with bunnies instead of chicks because they had more in the pack! Get those suckas half price or more after Easter – good luck!
Cute idea! And I really like that marsmalow weath for wintr time.
What a great idea! My son would love this for a kids party 🙂 Visiting from homestories
Totally sweet, that wreath!1 So cute!
I am featuring your wreath tomorrow. It is so fun and happy!
Thanks Desiree!
Hahaha – the peeps are watching you. That is too cute!
Kelly, The wreath is soooo cute! What a wonderful project. Hugs, Sherry
Very very fun! I love both of your wreaths! Pinning these!
Jo-Anna
Yippie – double pins! Thanks so much
This is darling!! Love how it came out~ Thank you for linking up at Feathered Nest Friday!
Thanks Courtney!
I’ve been looking at all of the wreaths using the Peeps Bunnies and this is by far my favorite. I’m basing mine on your design, but with multi-colored bunnies.
What adorable Easter wreath and what a cute idea. I love the look of our blog too. Happy Spring.
Hahaha this is quite adorable!!!! Found you at Kate’s party and I’m now a follower-stop on by for a visit!
LOVE this!! I’m featuring today 🙂
Love this BUT the peeps would not last long enough to be made into a wreath. I use the stale ones in cocoa. Sort of playful? Or sadistic?
Definitely sadistic – I can tell we’ll become fast friends!!!
This is one of the CUTEST things I’ve ever seen! LOVE IT!
Hi Kelly! I pinned your peep wreath yesterday afternoon when I stopped by, and I’ve had 127 repins. (Which is more than anything I personally have ever pinned.) People LOVE your bunny wreath. Well, duh, it is ADORABLE!! Nice goin’!
Thanks so much Laurel!
I am going to snag a ton of peeps after Easter for cheap and make one or 2 of these since I don’t have an Easter wreath… thanks for sharing
Do you think these could stand up to shellack and last outside? Anyway to make them last?
This could just be an edible wreath for a party…pull on off and move on..
I open my peeps up so they get harder before I consume them anyway..
Love this idea…Thank you for sharing.
Did u use toothpicks or hot glue on the marshmallow wreathe?
Toothpicks Sheri Ann – the post tells you exactly how I did it – enjoy!
So now that this post is over 3 years old, has anyone made this and saved it from year to year?
Did you use a sealant and if so what kind?
I would like to save mine, but would prefer not to have ants crawling all over it from now until next year 🙂
Thanks in advance.
My peep wreath has survived it’s 4th spring season – I just store it in a plastic garbage bag and haven’t used any sealer. No bugs and it’s lasted like a charm!
Hi – we have an egg hunt every year, this is our 12th and I am so excited to make this wreath, thank you for the cute & (what seems easy) idea. Has anyone hung this outside? Does it attract squirrels or the like? Or are most using as an indoor decoration?
Thx!
Hi Tina – I would not hang this outside. I think it would attract bugs! Happy egg hunting!
So because the wreath is inside do you spray anything ok the wreath so that lil insects don’t come flying on your peeps wreath?
I don’t spray it – the peeps will harden. I did not have insect problems
Do you think hot glue would hold up instead of tooth picks?
Not sure if the glue would melt the marshmallows?
How do you keep the bees away from your peeps wreath?
I don’t put it outside
Do you eat the peeps off of the wreath or do you spray it with something to preserve the peeps wreath for years? And the same with your marshmallow wreath?
I didn’t spray them. They harden with exposure to air. I stored them in plastic garbage bags in my basement.
how did u preserve it??
It just hardened on it’s own! You could probably spray with a clear sealer too.
Thanks for featuring my Peeps Wreath!
Kelly
Surprisingly, the Peeps became hard as a rock so you’d have to eat them pretty quickly or risk cracking a tooth! Thanks for the feature!
