Bring some Easter whimsy to living room or bedroom walls with a garland of felt Peeps. Since Peeps come in bright colors, there's no reason not to indulge and create the most colorful garland you can imagine. Hang a short one over a doorway or across an outside door, and longer ones beneath ceiling molding.
This tutorial uses burlap as a sturdy backing, but you could use a slightly larger piece of felt of a contrasting color. If you want to hang the garland vertically on a door, just run a line of glue down the burlap back instead of across.

1. Outline the shape of a Peep on the piece of paper and cut it out.
2. Place the cutout on a piece of felt and trace around it. Cut out the felt shape.
3. Run a line of glue along the inner edges of the felt cutout. Unroll some burlap. Press the cutout onto the burlap. Trim around the shape, leaving a marginal border of burlap.

5. Press the twine into the glue, leaving 6 inches of twine at the end for hanging.
