INSIDE: How to make the fastest and cutest 10 minute Easter Peeps centerpiece using plastic Easter eggs and Peeps marshmallows.
So… I’ve never eaten a Peeps in my life! Incredible, I know. I’ve just never had the desire to try the sugar-coated marshmallow-shaped bunny or bird I see on the shelves every Easter season.
However that all changed the other day I tossed a box of Peeps in my shopping cart. I totally caved …all in the name of crafting!
Let’s make the season’s easiest and cutest Peeps centerpiece in 10 minutes…

How to Make 10-Minute Easter Centerpiece with Peeps
Soon Peter Cottontail will be coming hippity hoppity down the bunny trail. Greet him in festive style with a craft made in bunny speed!
In 10 minutes, make an egg-cellent Peeps centerpiece using an egg-ful of supplies you may already have at home.
Gather Your Sugar Sweet Supplies:
– Peeps

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 #4: Gently push the skewer through the hole at the bottom of the plastic Easter egg.
Peeps #5: Skewer your marshmallow Peeps so that it sits nicely in the egg cup.
This peppy Peeps centerpiece is easily put together in bunny speed in five simple steps.
A cute way to greet Peter Cottontail as he makes his way down the bunny trail!

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:)
Thanks! I had to try one but my kids don’t know they are edible so I’d prefer to keep it that way!! 🙂
Finally! Something that does not involve EATING peeps! Never been a fan….but your design is pretty darn cute! Thanks for the great post!
Thanks! This project was my first-time trying a Peeps…and I only did it in the name of crafting!!

Very sweet project. I can see different ways of using this. Creative and oh so cute! Thanks for sharing your creativity at DI&DI.
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!
Thanks Mimi! I love crafts like this too.
It looks beautiful! So creative and colorful!

This is just so stinking cute. It looks so easy too and I love easy projects. I am saving to my Pinterest right now. Glad to see this post at the blog hop!
Thanks Susan! I am a big fan of easy projects as well.
Such cute centerpieces! Going to have to try making them! Glad you shared your post on the Hearth and Soul Hop!
Thanks Nancy! Try not to eat the supplies, LOL.
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!
Very clever you crafty devil. So easy and it adds a bit of whimsy.
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!
Now how cute is that! And so quick and easy too.
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.
These are adorable and easy. I love that you can stick them in a flower arrangement you already have. I also love that my kids can do them for me…I am not a big fan of eating peeps, but I think they are cute. Thanks!
Thanks Whitney! They were fun (and delicious) to make!
These peeps are just too cute for words. Thanks for linking up to Celebrate Your Story. I love your DIY’s.
I have tasted Peeps, and trust me–this is the best use for them! 😉 I love this–it’s adorable and fun! What a great centerpiece.
