Have I mentioned how much I love my Easter Peeps Topiary? When I was making it I knew right away that I wanted to do some more crafting with peeps, they’re just too cute! So I decided to make a wreath as well.

• 9 inch wreath (from the dollar store)
• 1 pack of bunny Peeps (12ct)
• Paint (optional)
• Hot glue
• Ribbon
• Craft Sealant 

Total cost = $2

I didn’t have pink spray paint so I used regular acrylic paint. It worked just fine, but I’m sure using spray paint would be 10x’s easier. 

Hot glue the peeps in the direction you prefer, add some ribbon and you’re done! Isn’t that too easy?

I {hop} you like my wreath :)

Does anyone actually like Peeps? I tried one for the first time since I was little and I can’t say I’ll eat another. I’d much rather indulge in these. Mmmmm… 

What is your favorite Easter candy? 

p.s. thank you for all the sweet comments about my announcement, you’re all the best!

Check out these parties I’m linking up to. 

I was inspired by the adorable peeps topiary in Woman’s Day Magazine. I don’t see it up on their site yet but here is a tutorial on how to make this cute topiary.

Supplies:

• Flower pot/pail
• 12″ dowel
• Green paint and paintbrush
• Embroidery hoop (their’s calls for a 6inch, but 8inch is all I could find)
• Peeps (I used 4 packages)
• Green Easter grass
• Glue gun
• Flower foam

Cut your foam so that it fits in your pail. After you’ve painted your dowel glue it onto the opening of the embroidery hoop. Use a lot of glue!

 

Then take a group of 5 peeps and glue them onto the hoop. DO NOT separate, but slightly bend them to encircle the hoop.

I apologize for not having a picture of the last steps. After your peeps are glued on the hoop, glue the dowel into your foam. You can spray the peeps with a craft sealer to help preserve them. Add the Easter grass and then you’re done!

Tip: check your peeps to make sure they are all in good shape. One of my packages didn’t look as nice as the others and I’m considering redoing that section.

Isn’t this a fun craft? Thanks for stopping!

With Spring right around the corner I felt like I needed some color in my life. So I went through my bookmarked tutorials and went out in search of some new fabric. This is what I came up with…

The tutorial is from Noodlehead. I’ve wanted to make one for months but was too afraid I’d mess it up. Silly, I know. But after trying it out I think I’m starting to feel a little more comfortable with my sewing skills.
