Peeps!… with felt squares

felt_peeps
My children have an almost diabolical love for Peeps. We have to hide them well and doll them out one at a time when we bring them into the house, and while I could just skip them, they’re Peeps, how can you not have Peeps in the spring. They’re like daffodils and Easter Baskets., just part of the warmer weather and the donning of pastel colors. But still, they can’t eat Peeps all day, every day, so to tide them over I whipped up a few Peep shaped finger puppets, and they’re getting a lot of hilarious use. I bet they will at your house too, it’s not everyday that you have a finger puppet that looks like food after all!

Things you’ll need:
Pink and yellow felt sheets
Scissors
White thread
Sewing machine or hand sewing needle
Brown acrylic paint
Pencil
Template

Things to do:
1. Using the template, cut two shapes for each puppet you want from felt.

2. Lay the bunnies out in pairs and stitch about 1/16 of an inch in from the edge all the way around except for about 1 inch along the bottom edge. Trim all threads.
3. Dip the eraser end of the pencil into the paint and dot onto the face for a nose and eyes. Allow the paint to dry before use!
