For as long as I can remember some of my fondest Easter basket memories have involved peeps (and reeses peanut butter eggs but not attaching with tooth picks to a wreath eww!)
So I really jumped at the chance to incorporate a brightly colored sugar bird with my holiday décor.
(But honestly its all I can do not to swipe one as I walk by.)
What youll need to make your Peep Wreath:
- 6 Packages of Peeps (10 Peeps in each package)– I used one of each color
- Tooth picks
- 1 – 12 inch Styrofoam ring
- Ribbon
- Bow I used a Paper Poof
Step 1
Pull all the Peeps apart. (Or have an assistant do it.)
Step 2
Carefully push a tooth pick into the Styrofoam ring and then push a Peep onto the tooth pick. I added the Peeps by color to evenly distribute the colors.
Green
Orange
Purple
Pink
Blue
Yellow
Step 3
Add a bow of your choice. I made a tissue paper poof as seen in this previous DIY tutorial.
Step 4
Add a ribbon at the top and tie a bow, this is how you will hang it.
I loved your blog article. Much obliged.
That wreath is adaorble! You just reminded me I need to put Peeps on my shopping list. I know they make them for other holidays now but they still taste best at Easter!
I have a dear friend who loves Peeps! She has been very ill, and now I know what to make her that will make her smile! Thank you!
April 11, 2014 — I was wondering if leaving the peeps out for a day to dry a little before placing on the wreath would be better… also I was thinking of hot glue and toothpick so they wouldnt slide off.
What can you put on it (spray) so it will stay.
Very colorful and festive. Would work well for a child’s birthday!!!
