I was playing around with those cute Ghost Peeps today. I needed to make a couple of gifty type centerpieces. They had to have a Halloween theme and they also had to be small. And this is what I came up with! Click on the photo for a closer view.I took a couple of small votive cups and tied a ribbon around them. Then I filled them with the candy corns.
Next I opened the package of Ghost Peeps and took them apart. I was not aware that they were stuck together. I'm not a Peeps fan so I don't usually buy these. I like the looks of them just not the taste/texture! Once I got them apart I inserted a sucker stick up the bottom middle of each one. I then put the ghost inside a food safe plastic bag and closed it with a bread twistie thing. Is there a name for those things?
I stuck them in the votive cup.
Then I punched out some bats. I cut some wire and wound it around a small dowel rod. I left about 3 to 4 inches of wire straight on both ends. On one end I attached the bat. You need to punch out two bats and sandwich the wire between them. Then I glued them together. When the glue set up I stuck them in the votive cups along with the ghosts. That is all there was to making these. Aren't they adorable? I may have to give this a try at Christmas time. I LOVE the looks of those Peeps too! They're just fun to play with!
This was a fun and quick project to do!! Gotta LOVE that!!!

Cute, cute, cute! Perfect for table decorations! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute. When I make marshmallows I coat them in a mixture of rice flour or cornstarch and a little bit of confectioners sugar so they're not sticky. I've also done this with Peeps that I've repacked individually so that the sticky sides don't stick to the wrapping.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the bats!
Cute idea! They're not good to eat till they've dried out a little and are more chewy.
