But, since you're on Fellow Does Fab, I'm pretty sure you didn't come here for religion class. So, let's talk about the really important things...like Easter wreaths made out of Peeps. Yep, I said Peeps wreaths.
Peeps have over a quarter of a million "Likes" on Facebook. (I'd kill for half of that, and Fellow Does Fab is a real person, while these are marshmallow creatures with no soul. I say that because have you ever looked into that dark, brown, irregular chocolate dot called a Peep eye? No soul.)

| Over 700 million Peeps are sold each year. That's basically the population of Europe. So, the next time you bite the head off of a Peep, think of a European. |
You either love Peeps or you tolerate them. Truth be told, the texture and taste doesn't do much for me, but I sure do like to watch those little buggers puff up when you cook them in the microwave!
That said, just because you don't like to eat Peeps doesn't mean you can't enjoy them this Easter season. If you've seen a Peep wreath, it's a fun sight to behold. When I saw one of my friends had mastered the task, I asked if I could share her tricks of the trade, and here they are.
TRELA'S PEEP WREATH
-1 plastic-wrapped straw wreath from the craft store
-Toothpicks
-Approximately 100 PEEPS (25 - 4 packs)
-Toothpicks
-Approximately 100 PEEPS (25 - 4 packs)
Gently bend the 4-pack of Peeps to follow the circle of the wreath, and attach them using 1 toothpick per Peep. (It's not necessary to separate each Peep from the 4 pack, as allowing them to stick together actually works better.)
Start by placing Peeps on the INSIDE of the wreath first, and once you finish the first inner circle, work your way out.
You should be able to complete your Peep wreath in about an hour. After, allow it to lay flat for at least 2 - 3 days undisturbed, and the Peeps will harden on the toothpicks. Hang wherever you need a ray of Easter Peep sunshine.
Who says marshmallows are all fluff?
