This marshmallow-y goodness of an Easter craft can be done in five sweet steps!

Peeps #1: Wrap a pipe cleaner around a wood skewer. Depending on how shallow your centerpiece is, you may need to use two pipe cleaners to fully cover the skewer.

Peeps #2: Fold a piece of green cardstock in half and cut out a simple leaf shape. You will need at least two sets of leaves per Peeps skewer.

Peeps #3:  Using a hole punch, make a hole through the leaves.

Peeps #5: Skewer your marshmallow Peeps so that it sits nicely in the egg cup.

  1. These are so cute & festive! You know the best part about using Peeps to decorate? They don’t change. They could sit out for months and not change at all…and they don’t even melt! We tried tostaing them like marshmellows over a fire one year, and they wouldn’t even cook! Ha, I think they have too many preservatives! I like your project so much better than the thought of eatting them:)

  16. Cute! And I love the white vase. We’ve always called it milk glass. I don’t know if that’s the correct term or not. Very cute.

  23. This is such a cute idea! I especially like how you wrapped the bright colored pipe cleaners around the skewers to add color and texture. I never would have thought of that. I love crafts like this one – simple, inexpensive, but turns out looking really festive and charming!

  34. What a cute, fun centerpiece for Easter – and I love how quick and easy it is to make! That’s my kind of table decoration! Thank you so much for sharing this great project, and for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party, Victoria. Have a lovely week!

  36. I’m loving the Peeps peeking out of the eggs, super cute! I used to love Peeps when I was younger, but now no thanks. BBQ skewers can be used for so many things. Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday! Hope to see you next week!

  38. I’m so glad you tried a Peep. I have an 82 yo friend who prides herself on never having had a Twinkie! Can’t imagine not EVER having had a Peep…or a Twinkie. I prefer mine “stale” so the sugar is crunchier! Your centerpiece is adorable; I can see bigger kids helping out with the construction easily! I love how your projects are easy to do and affordable.
