Materials:

Cardboard (I used a shipping box)
Pattern
Yard
Grass bush
Twine
Hot glue and glue sticks
Scissors
Craft knife
Pencil

Pattern:

Cut it out, then I placed it on my cardboard and traced around the pattern using a pencil.

Using a craft knife and a cutting mat, I removed the pencil traced area to make it easier to cut.

Next, I used a craft knife on a cutting mat to cut out the designs.

Carrot Yarn Wrapping

To begin wrapping the yarn around the cardboard cutouts, I found it easiest to start at the point. First, I glued the yarn about 1/4″ down from the point on the backside’s center to hide the yarn’s cut end. Then, I started spirling the yarn around the center point at the tip of the cardboard add a tiny dot of glue in a few places to hold the yarn in place.

Next, I continued wrapping the yarn until I reached the large end, and I spiraled the yarn to cover the end and cut off the extra yarn.

Green Carrot Top

Then to create the green carrot top, I used pieces of a grass bush (floral) that I cut into pieces then glued on the backside of the large end.

Twine

I added a simple twine bow on the front side just below the top of the carrot.

You can use these carrots to decorate in various ways. For example, I used some to make a garland and others to decorate a chalkboard. The possibilities are endless.
