Peeps Sunflower Pinned by One Artsy Mama
You can’t eat this craft when it’s done but it’ll be just as sweet sitting on your kitchen table.
Supplies:
- 8-inch green flower foam
- Newspaper
- Serrated kitchen knife
- 4 1/2″ by 5″ mini flower pot
- Green paint
- 1/2″ paint brush
- Hot glue gun
- 6-inch embroidery hoop
- 3 packages of Peeps
Directions
1. Place the foam on a newspaper-covered surface and cut out a 3″ x 4″ x 3″ rectangular piece using the kitchen knife. Place the piece widthwise into the flowerpot so it fits snugly and the foam isn’t visible over the top edge.
2. On the same surface, paint the dowel green. Let dry. Apply a generous amount of hot glue to the top of the dowel and secure it to the screw at the opening of the embroidery hoop. Let dry.
Remove Peeps from the packaging but do not separate. Apply a thick line of hot glue to 1/3 of the front side of the embroidery ring. Gently press one group of five Peeps onto the glue with beaks facing the center of the circle, slightly bending them to cover the ring. Let dry. Repeat with the other two groups.
3. Stick the bottom part of the dowel into the center of the foam so that the stem stands upright. Cover the top of the pot with green Easter grass. If desired, lightly mist the Peeps flower with a craft sealer to preserve it.
