Peep Party Cup. Every Easter I try to make my wee special peeps something special. With the current economy, I tried finding inspiration at the dollar store.
The Dollar Store Supply List
- Paper party cups and crepe streamers in the party section. $2.00
- The pipe cleaners were in automotive. ??? $1.00
- Shredded crinkle paper in the gift wrap section. $1.00
- I had the lace, ribbon, glue, and vintage paper posies and peeps at home. But I did see new peeps and silk flowers at the store as well.
Using plain white glue that I had purchased for another dollar store project I glued the pipe cleaners onto the paper cup.
I took a small section of crepe paper streamer and gathered it on my sewing machine to create a “cuff” to place around the paper cup. (You could also do this by hand.) I then glued the cuff to the outside of the paper cup.
Then the fun began. I added a wee bouquet of flowers and some pretty lace and ribbon onto the crepe wearing cup. A bit of paper shred and a sweet peep were placed inside of the cup.

Here is Sweet Boy’s cup:
A perfectly pink treasure for my Fashionista:
I hope you have been inspired to create your own dollar store treasures.
Happy Spring to all my special peeps!

These are so cute, Laura! Pipe cleaners in the automotive aisle? I believe it. I was looking for something once that I thought would be in one place and it was totally somewhere else.

One big “Aww!”. I would have loved these as a girl!
That is too darling! I love the ruffles and cuteness of it all!
Those are so cute! I LOVE the gathered crepe paper cuff! Amazing!
Your little peep cups are precious! I will file that idea for next year. Not enough time this year. Love & blessings from NC!
