This week, we were challenged to make something using Peeps as part of the
Iron Craft Challenge. This meant using the actual peeps themselves, not just making something peep related. I didn't really want to have peeps sitting around my house as permanent Easter decor (sorry little guys), so I went the edible route. In honor of my bird-inspired craft business, here are some peeps dressed up to look like another species.

I used melted chocolate to "paint" on the coloring of another bird species, the
American goldfinch. I used chocolate chips and toothpicks as my materials, but I'm sure you could get more fancy-schmancy with it. Although the female does not get as bright yellow as the male, I like to think that this is a mating pair. They are shown here sitting on a cheerios nest.

| Moments after this photo was taken, the cheerios nest was consumed. As of the writing of this blog, the birds were still alive. |
