Today I'm sharing a cute and easy Easter DIY that's great for a table centerpiece or something fun to make with the kids.

DIY Easter Peeps Flowers

I initially saw this idea at Dazzle While Frazzled but it doesn't look like her blog is up anymore 😔 but I thought it was such a cute idea so I'll share the steps here.

Supplies Needed:

Peeps
Plastic eggs that open
Wood skewers
Green scrapbook or construction paper

If you have kids or grandkids you probably already have plastic Easter eggs and peeps.

Step 1 - Drill Holes in the Eggs

Separate the eggs into halves. Some eggs are connected with a little piece of plastic between the top and bottom half so you may need to cut them to fully separate them.

You can use either half of the egg to make the flowers, it doesn't matter which. I chose the bottom half of the egg.

Poke a hole in the bottom of each egg so you can insert the skewer.

TIP: The original tutorial I followed said to poke a hole in the egg with the wooden skewer but my egg cracked when I tried that method.

If you have the same problem, you can use a drill to drill the hole like I did.

Step 2 - Create the Petals

Cut out two sets of petals (or more if you like!) for each Peep flower. I free-handed mine but you could trace around a silk flower leaf if you have one.

Punch a hole in the center of the leaves slightly smaller than the skewer (the leaves should fit tightly on the skewer so the hole should be small) and then push the leaves down onto a skewer.

TIP: In the original tutorial, she wrapped her skewers with pipe cleaners. I didn't do that but if your leaves are loose, you can wrap the skewers just below them to give them something to sit on so they won't slide down.

Step 3 - Create the Flowers

Push the egg down onto the skewer on top of the leaves.

Add the Peep bunny. The Peeps chicks would be cute too! 🐥

Step 4 - Create an Arrangement (optional)

These are super cute when arranged in a vase and used as a table centerpiece.

TIP: Use the leftover egg halves to fill a clear vase for your bouquet!

Here are some other ideas for these:

Create a bouquet for an Easter dinner hostess gift
Wrap each one individually in a cellophane bag and hand out to coworkers and friends
Wrap each one individually in a cellophane bag and sell at a craft fair or place of business (they would be cute next to the register)
Put one on each plate at the Easter dinner table for a cute surprise
