Easter is less than a week away, and I've noticed scads of homeless peeps around. Kasey at One Girl Talks has the solution, build bird houses for them! I thought this was a great idea, so I decided to build a house for a peep.
To make a peep birdhouse you will need to begin with graham crackers and frosting.
Kasey suggested using candy grass for the nest inside, but I couldn't locate any, so I made do with this candy instead.
My nest is lacking a little in design, but I think it will be comfy.
You can see in this picture that my roof is beginning to sag a little. I made one fatal error in my house construction. I used a can of soft cupcake frosting as my "cement" and it never set up. I think a batch of royal icing would have been a much better choice in the house construction business. My peep house lasted just long enough to make an afternoon snack for my grandson! Bye, bye birdie!

Once the peep sits on the nest, likely eggs will appear.
The house is completed by adding a roof, and it can be decorated with other candies if desired.
