Once the hot glue dries add about 1 1/2 Tablespoons of green shredded coconut to the jar.  Attach the lid and flip over.

Peeps Birdhouse...

The third craft in our four-part Peeps series are these adorable birdhouses!  Again, thanks to the people at Peeps for sending us so many items to use for Easter crafts!  Who knew you could do so many crafts with candy?

You will need: 

Graham crackers

white icing,

shredded coconut

green food coloring

Peeps in color of your choice

Begin by assembling the birdhouse..

This takes a bit of patience as you have to wait for the icing on the walls to dry before adding the roof..

We let our birdhouses dry for about 24 hours.

Next add a couple tablespoons of shredded coconut to a Ziplock bag then add about 5 drops of green food coloring. You may need to add more.  Then shake, shake, shake...

Add some icing to the floor of the house and sprinkle in the green coconut...

Add some icing to the bottom of the Peep and place it on top of the coconut..

Finally, add a few Robin Eggs and done!

Peeps Table Centerpiece...

This is the first in a series of four posts.

The wonderful people at Peeps must know of our family's love for Peeps!  They contacted me and asked if they sent me some samples, if I would be willing to come up with some Peeps crafts.  I was so excited as Peeps are one of my favorite Easter candies.  Want to know what my favorite thing to do with them is?  Roast them over an open fire!  If you haven't tried that, then you should!  They are ahh-mazing!

The first Peeps craft the girls and I decided to make was a centerpiece for our kitchen table.  We all agreed that we needed something springy since Spring and Easter are right around the corner.  This was so simple to make and only took about 10 minutes.

You will need:

Glass bowl

Peeps

Robin Eggs

Artificial Daffodils (I'm sure you could use real also)

The girls each picked their favorite Peep to use in the centerpiece.  Mel picked these eggs which just happen to be a new product this year!

 B picked green bunnies...

 and Jo thought the pink ones were perfect.  Pink is her current favorite color!;)

Arrange the Peeps on the inside perimeter of the jar.  I don't have any pictures of this step because it required both my hands!  Once you have the Peeps in the bowl, then add the Robin Eggs.

Next, using wire cutters, carefully cut the Daffodils at the individual stem.

Then arrange in the Robin Eggs.

Mel was pretty proud of our creation...

I love how this turned out!
