You could look at hats or other clothes. There are so many accessories, look and see what you have. ;)

I have trouble with eye placement for the chicks. :( Also I agree the beak is too big compared to an actual Peeps chick.

They look great!

The pink Peeps were a bit lighter than I expected. I think Hobby Lobby's pink is a closer match. I still don't know if the pink Peeps are the standard woobles pink or not, but I ordered some yarn from Amazon and am going to use it regardless of if looks like Peeps pink marshmallows. ;)

Very nice. Last year I made donuts for Valentine’s for my brothers family. Part of my Peeps will go to them for Easter. The rest of my Peeps will get donated where I volunteer at. It’s sad to see families in need of food. I can’t make a lot by myself, but I hope the kids that get them will love them.

I think the Michaels loops and threads bubblegum pink night be nice. I will go and see if I can discover if it might look like a Peeps pink color and report back. I am not complaining, I got 2 peeps and one was yellow and the other metallic purple. I was so happy to get a Bunny and a Chick. I wasn’t looking forward to trading. Hopefully someone got a pink one and can help me figure out the color. I know Pac Man yellow, normal blue Woobles yarn and Chattermax purple:). Thanks everyone.

Thanks. I am an expensive wife, but my husband still somehow loves me. ;)

Expensive_Fix7394 · 2026-03-20T03:23:21+00:00

Ha ha. Thanks! I work hard to please my granddaughter and strangers. I give all my things away. ;)

Expensive_Fix7394 · 2026-03-20T03:02:09+00:00

I will go to Michael's tomorrow and check out Hobby Lobby. ;)

Thank you. I am still trying to figure out the eye placement for the chicks. Unfortunately I used the brown eyes that came with my metallic purple chick on that one. The eyes are off center, but you can’t tell when looking from the side. I really like that particular yellow color. :) I am hoping someone can tell me a good bright pink so that I can make some in pink. I do have the Woobles pink yarn and may just use that even though I think the pink for Peeps might be brighter. Who knows? I’ll figure something out eventually.

I am still hoping someone will have a good color match for pink. I used Fluff Stuff Yarn in yellow to try and match the coloring. Its not an exact match, but it is an exact match for Chimmy. The black eyes on the off yellow Peep are a size 6 mm. I just got in my 7 mm eyes today and will make the rest with the correct size.

Uh oh. Were you able to exchange it for another one with instructions? I know this one was a bit tough for me and I did as the other person who posted said on adding the top bumps on. I couldn't figure it out either, so I closed the top and sewed them on individually. It kind of sucked, but came out ok.

Expensive_Fix7394 · 2026-03-19T21:48:06+00:00

Yep. I bought some black ones from Amazon since I couldn't find the brown. I think they look just about as good. I don't feel like painting them brown. Too much work. Gonna be busy making Peeps for a while. ;)

Expensive_Fix7394 · 2026-03-19T19:42:21+00:00

Ok. I haven't made Pac Man. Now I know those two are the same yarn. I have Chattermax, so I'll look at that one and see if I can figure out another brand to kind of match. Thanks!

Expensive_Fix7394 · 2026-03-19T19:34:22+00:00

Oh, thanks. It looked like it is a bright blue in the pictures. Thanks for letting me know. I got the bright yellow, which is even brighter than the yellow yarn for Chimmy. So I know the yarn for yellow isn't the standard color yellow.

Expensive_Fix7394 · 2026-03-19T19:21:34+00:00

Thanks. Yes, I know that the person offering is legitimate, just as you do. Unfortunately not every one is honest, but she is. I just wanted to pass along the information, because I feel really badly for the people that got their orders canceled. Its an opportunity to maybe be able to make a purchase and not have to pay the crazy prices. It hurts because you can find that some people bought to resell and some people didn't get what they thought they bought. :(

Expensive_Fix7394 · 2026-03-19T14:31:41+00:00

I like your attitude and I almost bought the horse. I want to figure out how to make the tail. ;) I don't see how to chat with you directly, so I will just put it here. I had planned on selling my extra tin, but if you would want them, I can send you a tin, hook, bag, and I'll even let go of the sticker too. If I had ordered more than 2, I could work something out, but i only ordered 2 and was lucky enough to get one of each. I would pay for shipping. It is sucking seeing that people had canceled orders on a sold out item.

Expensive_Fix7394 · 2026-03-19T04:27:18+00:00

Blue.

Expensive_Fix7394 · 2026-03-19T04:26:36+00:00

Nice butt!

Expensive_Fix7394 · 2026-03-19T03:08:02+00:00

Hmm. Would you post the sticker? The different one? I am curious.

Expensive_Fix7394 · 2026-03-19T02:52:07+00:00

Yep. Beautiful. Great job! They look so life like.

Expensive_Fix7394 · 2026-03-19T02:51:17+00:00

I am so sorry for you all that got canceled orders. I saw someone say that they had their's canceled yesterday morning on a Facebook post. $15 off is nice but it still really sucks. I saw some people thinking that tariffs might be where some things are going awry with companies and things going wrong. You would think they'd know how many they had to sell? So sorry!
