Peep Show

So remember that $5 Challenge that Living with Lindsay was doing? Well, this is what I came up with. I know it's nothing totally spectacular or incredibly hard, but I thought it was cute. And more importantly, I had fun making it! :)

Welcome to the Peep Show



Materials:
- Bucket with bow from dollar section at Target
- Peeps from Dollar Tree
- Flowers with butterfly from Dollar Tree
- Cardboard (already had)
- Toothpicks (already had)
- Fake grass (already had)

Assembly:
Take your piece of cardboard and decide where you want your Peeps to go. Poke two toothpicks through the cardboard for each of the chicks, then carefully slide the chick onto the toothpicks (make sure not to slide them too far down or it'll be a Peep kabob!). The bunnies only need one toothpick to stand up.

For the flowers, cut the branches off of the main stem, then arrange inside the bucket. Place the bucket in the center of the cardboard piece.
Scatter fake grass to cover up cardboard.

And that's it! Easy peasy, and you've got a cute Easter/Spring decoration! :)

Cute vignette. If I did this at my house I think everyone else would try to eat the peeps long before Easter ever gets here.
