Peeps

So you might think this post is about Peepers... my Son.

No... It is literally about Peeps - the Easter candy & one of the cutest crafts around.

The Peep Bunting by Dana from Made.

I followed her pattern & directions for inspiration - but made a few minor adjustments:
1) Resized bunny to be about 6" tall  - cut 12 yellow & 12 pink.  I did the double layer method - so I ended up with 6 bunny's in each color.

2) Used 2 packets of rick rack

3) Spaced the bunny's about 12" apart - leaving about 18" tails of rick rack for tieing

4) Used Stitch Witchery to adhere the front & back bunny together.  I sandwiched the rick rack in between the layers for a true NO SEW craft.  I trimmed down the bunny pattern slightly after cutting the felt for the Stitch Witchery, because I did not want it to get stuck on my iron.

 So cute with the little painted face.

 We decorated out front staircase with the peeps... this is Christmas garland that doubled

 as St. Patrick's Decorations, that is now being used to represent Easter Grass.  

Who said procrastination never paid off?

Thanks for stopping by,

Easter Wreath

I'm not a big Easter decorator... but thought I would make a little something to bring some spring into the house. I started with pastel cardstock, clothes pins, & Glitter Mod Podge & a large brass ring (no clue where I got this ring from... I think it moved with me from Ohio) but you could probably find one at JAF or other craft store. I cut the scrap book paper to the size of the clothes pin & Mod Podged it on... Careful not to touch (some kids just don't listen!)

Let it dry & clip them on to the ring.

Then I used heavy weight scrap book paper in fun pastel prints & patterns to cut egg shapes. I have a little cutter tool that I used, but you could easily print on out from on-line OR

if you are lucky enough to have a Cricut, you could cut them out in a jiffy. I used a glue stick to glue on letters on to the egg. Again, I had these letter in my scrap booking stash. You could use a stencil or your Cricut to cut them out.

Then just clip the eggs in to the cloths pins on the Wreath to spelling out HAPPY EASTER & add a bow.

Thank you, Karla
