Altered Easter Peeps Box

 

Hello my Peeps!

 

I know, but I could not resist.

 

Well when would I ever get to say that?

 

Today I bring you crafting and snacking!

 

Do you like PEEPS?  I have to admit I do not! I gave mine away to make this project.

 

I am sure you can find someone who will help you out and eat them :)

 

 

 

I used a small package. 

 



Here is a Vintage Post Card you can use.

It was the perfect size for the PEEP box.

 

I printed 4 on my cardstock. I made 2 boxes.

 

You will only need 2 postcards per ALTERED BOX.

 





Carefully cut your background piece.

 

Save the rest of the postcard for your first layer.

 

 

Use white glue to attach to box.



 

I used these colors below to blend into the background, top and side.

 





All printers are different try to match your postcard.



 

You can paint the white area on the box behind the top chick.

 

Your first 3 D layer should cover that area.









 

Used a straight edge to fold up 1/4'' at the bottom of postcard.

 

 

 

Add a few foam dots. 

 

 

Put glue only on that lower edge.

 

Set in front of background to give a 3D appearance.

 

 

 

 Cut the next layer 2 chicks and the nest.

 

Cut out the standing chick body ( no legs )

 

Cut out the egg shell.

 

 

 

Add foam dots to the back side.

 



These pieces will be the next layer.

 

You can add other embellishments.

 

I added a small bit of Spanish Moss and small cloth flowers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the second box,

 

I added some Vintage Baby Rick Rack to the edges.

 

 

I always pick these up thrifting when I find them!



 

Put it in my cubbie box -along with some other SPRING décor.

 

 

 Spring is coming and I can't wait!

 

I hope you have an awesome week- 

 

Thank you for visiting!
