Here is my project for the day. I made each of my boys one for their Easter baskets.
Peeps Box
As you can see on the last image, I changed how it would be opened and shut. I decided that since the doors of the advent calendar did not stay closed and were difficult to open, that I would add ribbon to open and close easier.
Recipe:
I chose the #22 box of the advent calendar.
Resized the #22 inside box height ONLY to 1.606 (don't forget to UNCHECK "keep proportions").
You will find the door cover for box #22 in the "pale_green.svg" file under the "Doors" directory.
I used the "peeps_top.svg" file from the Easter Morning Egg Hunt collection and seperated them to create a single peep!
I chose the colors blue and orange because those were the color peeps the boys chose in the store.
My entire inspiration for this project I owe to my 9 year old son, Tyler. As we walk into Wal-Mart, he screams "Pee-pees!". Oh my gosh did my face turn red and YES, I quickly corrected him! :)
