Candy-lier? Chandel-easter? Whatever you call it, it's kind of insane and kind of wonderful. Good Morning America challenged us to come up with something crazy made of Peeps, and now you can too.
This is a Peep chandelier.
Perfect for those who love the deeply expressive medium of Peeps but wouldn't eat one if you paid them.

In order to make one, you'll need:
- 2 or 3 large embroidery/quilting hoops; we used 20", 14", and 10" hoops.
- Twine
- Thin jewelry wire
- Scissors
- A hot glue gun (preferably cordless, since this project can get real tangly real fast)
- A large yarn needle
- More Peeps than you've ever seen in your life (we used about 100 total and found that the bunnies, rather than the more traditional birds, seemed to stick to the balsa wood better)

Start by cutting 8 footlong pieces of twine.
You'll only need 4 if you're just using 2 hoops.

Double knot the twine around the larger hoop so that it hangs down.
This will be the top layer of the chandelier.
