I like Peeps crafts even more than actually eating the marshmallowy treat! Over at Mommysavers, Kimberly created a tasteful and whimsical Peeps wreath. I think the combination of brown and yellow is really inspired! Today when I was at the library with my kiddos, I saw a library window sill decorated with rows of peeps on plastic grass, which was surprisingly cute. What other cute uses for Peeps have you seen lately? [how to make a Peeps wreath]

Project Estimate:

12? floral foam wreath, $1
5 yards satin ribbon, $1
20-22 Marshmallow Bunny Peeps, $2
Glue Gun, on hand

Total: $4

You could always spray it with some polyurethane sealant and that could save it from the ants, and you’d be able to keep it for use next year! :)

I absolutely cannot stand the taste of Peeps. There… I said it and it feels like a great weight has been lifted because how could you not love those adorable puff balls. I can come out of hiding finally – with this project I have a way of appreciating them that doesn’t involve putting them in my mouth – thank goodness!

I cannot even tell you how oh so excited I became once I viewed this. I am holding Easter this year at my new home, so this will be a great welcoming greeter at the door :) Thank you very much!

And I also will be using the polyurethane!

I totally love this, but how do you keep ants and critters from attacking these precious peeps so they will not get old causing insects to attack :)
