I’ve been making Peeps® Wreaths for 6 years now and honestly, this is one has got to be one of my favorites! I usually use the classic chick shape but couldn’t find them in all the colors so I instead switched to bunnies. Aren’t they cute?

Rainbow Bunny Peeps® Wreath
Materials:
- Peeps® Bunnies (5 Color Sampler Pack)
- 10″ Styrofoam Wreath
- Toothpicks
- Pink Burlap Ribbon
- Floral Pin
Step One. Ok, peeps, this isn’t rocket science but there are a few hints that will make this project so much easier and enjoyable. First one: Completely remove the wrappers and let the Peeps® dry out for a couple days before making the wreath. They’ll be much easier to work with if they’re not so sticky!
Step Two. Next hint? Use two toothpicks per bunny to secure in place. This will prevent them from spinning on a single point and shifting on the wreath.
Step Three. Continue placing the bunnies in a circle around the front and outer edge of wreath. Once completed, fill in the center ring with vertically placed bunnies.
Step Four. Tie a large bow out of the burlap ribbon and insert a floral pin in the back. Secure in place at the top of the wreath.
And that’s it, your super “sweet” wreath is good to go!
In the past, a few people have mentioned that heat or humidity have caused some of the Peeps® to fall off. If this is a problem, just dab a bit of glue to where the toothpick meets the sugary surface.
Another issue that has been brought up in the past is the ant factor. I would highly suggest a couple coats of clear spray varnish if you know ants are a problem where you live.

You know, I don’t think I’ve ever eaten Peeps before. Isn’t that crazy? So I guess any kind could potentially be my favorite. 😉

Hi. I plan to make this wreath this weekend! It’s darling! One question though–do you know if it will hold up in the rain/outdoor elements? I like in Wisconsin and our weather is weird in March and April! Thanks!
Kim says
How many peeps is it?
Sarah says
Really want to make this! How long does it last before it falls apart or looses its color and things of that nature?? Please respond!!!
Dotty J Boucher says
I love your idea here using the peeps on the foam, I wonder how it would come out just using a coat hanger…

I noticed you said 5 color sampler pack but there is six colors. Also I cannot find orange bunnies ANYwhere.. do you know where you got them?
Vanessa Brady says
This was from a few years ago so some of the colors may not be available. I looked on Amazon and didn’t find orange available this year. 🙁

Hi,
I absolutely fell in love with your peep wreath after seeing it today on the Megan Kelly show. However, for whatever reason where I live the availability and variety of the peeps rabbits really is extremely minimal if nonexistent. What they do have a large variety of is the peeps doves or chicks or whatever they are and I was both hoping & wondering…
If you thought, it would be possible to use these peep chicks/doves instead of the peep bunnies in order to re-create /replicate this absolutely beautiful peep wreath which you’ve created?
PLEASE HELP & please respond ASAP!!!
Thanks;)))
Vanessa Brady says
I’m so glad you liked it! I’ve done wreaths with both varieties that you can see here: https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/?s=peep
Hope that helps!
