I actually first highlighted this project back in 2016 and pictured above is my first version. I love this clever project so much still today as easy Easter table decor. Peeps decorations are just adorable, aren’t they? Even if you don’t enjoy eating them, they are fun to decorate with!

DIY Easter Peeps Centerpiece
PrintSupplies Needed
Directions
1
Place the smaller vase inside and add a layer of jelly beans in the gap between the vases.
2
Next, place a layer of Peeps with the eyes facing out. I did not separate them. Use the end of a spoon or a chopstick if you need to push them down gently.
3
Add a layer of faux grass, followed by a 2nd layer of Peeps.
4
Add water and fresh flowers inside the smaller vase.
Tips for making a DIY Easter Centerpiece with Peeps:
- To save money on the clear vases use some you may already have on hand or find them at a thrift store or Dollar Tree! The middle vase can even be an empty water bottle or something you can repurpose. You just need to make sure there are about 2 inches of room in between containers! This is the 8″ small vase I used here or you can browse these similar 8″ vases!
- You can use any color combination of Peeps you’d like! Feel free to skip the jelly beans and grass if you’d like. It’s really up to you.
- If you are worried about Peeps attracting ants, I have not had that in my experience. They dry out.
I love this double-vase method for decorating!
These Peeps decorations will add such a fun whimsical touch to your Easter table, especially if you don’t decorate a ton, but like to add a few things for Easter brunch. If you end up making one of these Peeps centerpieces, let us know how it turns out!

Do you know how long the peeps, candy, etc will stay good for (I’m assuming they’re mold at some point?)?
I’m a teacher and this would be a fun addition to my classroom, but I don’t want to have moldy candy either.
Great question, Betsy! Peeps and candy used in a centerpiece can usually last 2–4 weeks or even longer as long as they’re kept dry and away from moisture or fresh items like fruit. They typically just dry out and get hard rather than molding—so no worries there! 🤗 The real flowers will eventually wilt, but you could totally swap in faux flowers to make it last even longer in your classroom. Such a fun idea for your students! 🌸💛
So pretty! I think it would be good idea to add the third vase that can be taken out easy and be refilled with water for flowers to last longer or add another flowers.
Good idea to do that too, Jolanta. Faux flowers might be a good alternative as well! 🤗
