I’ve been doing
this for several years now. After dark on the night before Easter, my husband
and I “peep” our friends. One year we made Peepshi-
Think Rice Krispie Treats, fruit leather and beheaded peeps and another year
Peep wreaths.This year’s Peeping involves....Hm....never know whose reading the
blog, so it will have to wait until Easter 2015 for a reveal.
So the Peep activity for 2014 is Peep trees and
topiary.
Styrofoam
form: Using a cone or ball shape, start sticking
peeps on with a toothpick. It’s not a bad idea to purchase your peeps a week in
advance of your project. Take them out of their package and stick the tooth
pick in. Let them “harden” for a few days. I’ve tried sticking pins in year old
Peeps and they crumpled. If they’re too fresh, they can slide off the tooth
pick. Gluing is also an option. Check out KQ’s Garden Peep Topiary for a good
example of how to use different styles of Peeps plus other types of Easter
candy.
Tree
Branch: Use a branch from your yard, park or wherever
you can find one, and just stick the Peeps on one end.
Peep
Bouquet Tree: Take a small pail and stick a Styrofoam form
in it. Use wooden skewers and stick one end in the Peep and the other in the
stryo. Peep bunnies work well for this project.
If you don’t find Peeps inspiring, make crystal egg geodes.
