Can you think of a more appropriate Easter book to review here on the blog?! Didn’t think so ;)
When I first heard about this book, I wasn’t sure how much you could do with Peeps besides eat stale bunnies or blow them up in the microwave. But after reading this book, there are some cute, super-funny ideas you can put to work.

Besides the obvious recipe-inspired ideas, there are some very cute craft projects in the book. I loved the idea of taking Peeps and making them into place card holders, a topper for a wedding cake and even garland for the home.

I was very inspired to put some Peeps to work after going through the book. Thanks to some marshmallow inspiration, I came up with my own ideas:

Embroidered Peeps dish towels!

Foamy Peeps wreath!

What kind of projects have you guys been making with Peeps? Check out this Peeps Flickr group for inspiration and the annual Ann Arbor News Peeps diorama contest.
