3) Insert toothpicks into your wreath. Make sure the toothpicks are arranged in a straight line so your PEEPS will look uniform when you place them.
You may need to test a few PEEPS on your toothpicks to make sure they will be close enough together. As you can see in the photos below, my PEEPS were too far apart on my first attempt. You want them to be very snug, like in the photo on the right.
6) Paint your wooden sign and allow it to dry. Once dry, add the “Welcome to our Nest” lettering. There’s no right or wrong way to do this- if you have naturally stunning handwriting (unlike me) you can easily freehand the saying onto your wooden sign. If you were not blessed with pretty handwriting, simply use Microsoft Word or a similar program to print your text, cut it out, and use those letters as a stencil. Once your lettering is completely dry, hot glue your wooden sign directly onto your wreath.
Erin was ecstatic to discover that our CraftersCrate box was full of princess crafts. We found four crafting kits inside the box: a princess bracelet, a princess tiara, a princess wand, and a special princess art project. CraftersCrate sent us everything we needed for each individual craft kit, and as an added bonus, there were even two chocolates inside the box! We were both so excited that we didn’t know where to start.
