Peeps Garland!

Posted on March 22, 2014 by Pillows A-La-Mode

I recently hung the Peeps garland I made last spring (out of felt, not the candy!). Here are the super-simple directions:

(1) Draw a simple bunny shape or find a free template online.

(2) Make the bunnies from felt, fabric scraps, construction paper, or scrapbook paper.

(3) Add the eye and nose dots with fabric paint, permanent marker, or embroidered French knots.

(4) Attach the bunnies to ric-rac, ribbon, rope, string, or twine using glue or hand or machine stitching.

You’ll soon have a cheery pop of color for your spring décor. Have fun! ♥

    I thought I would work on it today, but the “challenge” takes priority, so I’m cutting out lacy “snowflakes” and ready for today’s “green flag” NASCAR start from CA. I’m sure there won’t be the rain delays that happen last week!!! Hugs……………………….

I like how you used ric-rac for these non-fat and calorie-free bunny peeps! So delightful and cheery!

  Thank you, Mary! I have to be sure to have the real thing when my grandkids are here since they can’t eat the garland! 🙂

    I packed some in ziplock to keep fresh to send along with the garland.

I want to eat it! I don’t have yellow felt, but I have yellow patterned fabric, so now I am eyeing it and wondering if this will be today’s project…
