I took this as a call to arms and came back with this project that I think fits the bill as an easy project that just about any skill level crafter can do. Not to mention it's pretty thrifty since I have listed easy to find substitutions for all the supplies I list. So join me now is making some ~Peep love~ to share with all of your "peeps"! ( Office mates, hair dressers or maybe your sweet neighbor who puts up with your crazy dogs barking at her crazy dogs.. just sayn' if you find Peeps on your door step you will know who they are from!)
You will need:
- Computer paper or better yet light weight white card stock
- Printer with color ink - sorry no substitutions for this one
- Medium sized food safe cello bags or Quart sized zippy sandwich bags
- Scalloped craft scissors- or just the straight kind
- Stapler - with staples, they work oh so much better that way!
- PEEPS!
Step 1 - download and print the file. Each sheet of paper will make 2 toppers. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
If you have them, use your fancy scissors, if not.... move along to folding the card exactly in half. If you want to sign the back of your topper now is the time and SOOOO much easier than after they are on the bag.
If using a zippy bag cut the bag so you remove the zip... about 6 inches tall for the bag is good. Insert five Peeps, no more no less. Five Peeps fit just right in the quart size bag. Try to keep the peeps connected as you put in them in. Fold down the plastic top of the bag and add the topper. Staple to close!
Tada!.. you did it! Now go do another one you crafty goddess you!
Does this project pass the crafty/thrifty test?.. what thinks you??
