Colorful Peep Wreath

Display that Spring is here with a colorful array of peeps hanging on your door.

Supplies

  • Styrofoam circle
  • Wreath hanger
  • Ribbon (You will need 2 packs if you wrap the hanger as well)
  • Hot glue gun
  • Scissors
  • Peeps (3 different colors will look best)

Instructions

  1. Wrap and hot glue the ribbon around the styrofoam circle.
  2. Hot glue the peep around the circle in an alternating pattern. We glued our peeps facing out but it’s totally up to you! HOT TIP: Peeps may be easier to work with if they are left out a bit to get stale.
  3. Wrap and hot glue the ribbon to the hanger.
  4. Hang your new wreath proudly on your front door!

If you are worried about critters getting to your peeps, a clear lacquer on top should do the trick.
