Honestly, I don't like to eat Peeps. The whole sugar covered marshmallow doesn't really appeal to me as much now as it did when I was a kid. But boy, I still think they are the cutest thing. I love seeing them all nestled in their cellophane at the store- and I love letting them dry out and using them is decor.
This Peep House idea was one of the first craft projects I thought about when I started my blog up again last October. I can't tell you how psyched I am that its finally close enough to Easter for me to post them!!
I envision these as place settings on Easter Sunday... as little give aways to children in the family, or hanging by a ribbon on a tree or in a garland. They are just too cute.
And since my Silhouette is my best friend, I made a cutting file for these buckaroos so I can print them in a jiffy. And of course, I'm going to share that with you too!
This template works on letter sized card stock. I like the variety of having some with windows, some without. But, the templates will allow you to make them however you'd like.
I hope you all enjoy them! Lemme see what you make!

Adorable. Think I'm gonna have to do some of these. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!
So cute!!! Have to make some of these little sweeties. Thank you for sharing your talents.
This is such a cute idea! When I get sick from eating too many Peeps, this is where the rest will be residing.
How cute! I'll have to be sure to make these with my kiddos. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely darling!!

Thanks again for linking up to my Springtime Holiday Link Party! I shared your Peep birdhouses today! http://michellepaige.blogspot.com/2012/04/peeps-gift-ideas.html
I'm so nostalgic for peeps and the way you packaged them takes them to a new level of sweetness. Couldn't help but feature them on tomorrow's "A Little Birdie Told Me...".

Debbie, its ok- this is a common question. Just right click the link and then select "save link as..." And pick where you want it to save! (The code is your web browser reading the DXF file- who knew they could do that?!)
Got it Kayla........thank you again
