How to make really cute Faux Fabergé eggs

Normally I only post on thrifty Thursday post but I saw this on Disney's site after posting the Lucky Rabbit Feet post and had to share :)

Materials

• Toothpicks
• 2 1/2 inch foam egg
• stiff paintbrush
• tacky glue
• Glitter
• Colorful plastic beads or jewels
• 6-inch pipe cleaners
• pencil

Instructions

1.To make each one, first stick 3 toothpicks into one end of a 2-1/2-inch foam egg to create a temporary stand.

2. Use a stiff paintbrush to spread a thin layer of tacky glue on the egg.

3. Then sprinkle on a coating of glitter. When the glitter has set securely, glue on colorful plastic beads or jewels in a pattern of your liking. (You can use another toothpick or a pin to pick up and set the beads in place.) Allow the egg to dry completely before removing the toothpicks.

4. To make a stand for your egg, first twist together the ends of a 6-inch length of pipe cleaner to form a 1-1/2-inch-diameter ring. Now make the stand's legs. One at a time, fold 3 more 6-inch pipe cleaner pieces in half around a pencil and twist together the 2 halves, leaving an inch or so of the ends free, as shown.

5. Remove the pencil and twist the free ends around the pipe cleaner ring. Finally, bend up the loops to create the stand's feet.

Peepshi recipe

Its easter time, and peeps are a big thing at easter so when I saw these on seriouseats I had to share :) I think I might make these for our Zombie party...

Ingredients

• 6 Peeps per roll, 1 Peep per handroll, 1 Peep per nigiri
• 1 box of Rice Krispies Treats
• 1 box of Fruit by the Foot
• 
  

Preparation

1. Slice off six 3/16th inch slices lengthwise from a Rice Krispies Treat, doesnt have to be exact.

2. Cut the heads off your peeps

3. Portion out a length of Fruit by the Foot slightly longer than the Rice Krispies Treat slice.

4. Flatten and elongate the Rice Krispies Treat slice slightly and shape it into a hollow circle. It's okay if it breaks, just mold it back together again.

5. Take a Peep head and tuck it into the top of the hollow Rice Krispies treat cylinder. Use a toothpick or tip of the a knife to help get it snug.

6. Wrap the Fruit by the Foot strip around your roll. Some folding and nipping may be necessary to get the cleanest look.

7. Serve and enjoy
