I made these peep garlands ages ago and have been waiting till we are closer to Easter to post them. They are from this template. I used twill ribbon for the yellow and an organza ribbon for the pink. I put the eyes and nose on with brown acrylic paint and a pencil eraser just like the tutorial called for.
I sent the pink one to a certain someone who loves pink and loves Easter decorations.
Hi Mary:)

I visited Joann's yestderday. I bought a ton of pearl cotton embroidery floss. I love that stuff! I had only about 5 skeins from a year or two ago and needed more. I really like the way it looks. I also bought pom pom makers from Clover. Last night I made 4. The instructions on the package were awful. Really bad and vague. By the 4th one I figured out how to make them fuller and to tie the middle string tighter, etc. They are so cute! I want to do a garland for Bird (my niece). I'll post them someday.

Oh I love the peeps! They are great. OH, btw...you no longer have a neice named bird and you know it...she is a teenager now! She gets what she wants or she will roll her eyes at you so call her by her name :) Love you! JennyBean.
