Easter Crafts with Peeps: Peep Wreath, Peeps on a Nest, and Peeps Candle Holder


Easter Crafts with PeepsWritten By: DIY & Craft Contributor, Katie Femia

Adorable Peep Wreath

Why not grab a few inexpensive materials and whip up your own Easter wreath this year? Not only is it fun and easy to do, but you can save yourself some dough in the process!

Materials:
2-8 packs of Marshmallow Peeps (any color is fine, the rabbit shape works best! $1.00 per pack)
1 Foam Wreath Form (Only $1.00 at my local dollar store!)
Crafting glue or a hot glue gun
Easter themed ribbon (Only $1.00 at my local dollar store!)

Directions:
1. Pull your Peeps apart carefully so they are in individual pieces. Try not to eat any! J
2. Place some hot or craft glue about an inch at a time on the wreath form. Be generous.
3. Place a Peep on it and press it firmly into place. Hold and allow it to set.
4. Repeat these steps as you make your way around the entire wreath one Peep at a time.
5. Allow to dry for at least twenty minutes before adding your ribbon and hanging.
6. Cut a length of ribbon and adorn as you wish!

This wreath will look gorgeous on a mantle or entry way, even a front door!

Peeps on a Nest Treat

These cute and tasty treats are fun and simple to make, plus they can be done with a few basic and inexpensive ingredients! Kids will love helping you make these and the end result is just as much fun to look at as it is to eat. So sweet!

Materials:

6 oz. bag of milk chocolate kisses
Jelly Beans
Marshmallow Peeps
Shoe String Potato Snacks
(all of these ingredients were found at my local dollar store!)

Directions:
1. Place a dozen unwrapped chocolate kisses in a microwave safe bowl. Heat on high for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between heating intervals.
2. Continue until your chocolate is melted and smooth.
3. Add a tablespoon of shoe string potato snacks at a time and stir, covering them completely with the melted chocolate.
4. Continue this process until you have a thick mixture that is well covered but moldable.
5. Spoon your mixture onto a plate or wax paper and shape into a nest.
6. Press your jelly beans and chick onto the nest. Arrange as you wish.
7. Enjoy!

Do as a classroom craft with a group of children. Each child will love having their very own bird on a nest treat to take home!
