How To: Make a Peep Centerpiece for your Easter Table
I have been making this jellybean and marshmallow Peep Centerpiece for years. They turn out a little different every time, and they are always the talk of the table.
Yield: 1 centerpiece
Cost: $20
Equipment
- scissors
Materials
- 1 - 6 " x 6" square vase or something similar
- 16 Marshmallow Peep Bunnies
- 1 package of jellybeans
- 1 - large mixed bouquet of flowers
- 1 - pint sized mason jar
- easter grass optional
Instructions
- First, you will place the mason jar, filled with water about 2/3 of the way, in the center of the container. Loosely secure the lid.
- You can place some Easter grass in the bottom if you want, but it’s not necessary.
- Add in your jellybeans, there were about 2-3″ of them in the bottom for my size of container. You want to make sure when you place the bunnies inside that their ears don’t peek out above the top of the container.
- Place the bunnies around the outside edge, on top of the jellybeans. I secured the jar in this one with some artificial grass.
- Cut your bouquet of mixed blooms down to fit inside the mason jar. You want some of them to be shorter, which helps conceal the inside. And it’ll give it a fuller appearance.
- It doesn’t look like a lot of flowers, but it actually takes a pretty big bundle of them.
