Carrot eggs painted orange and ready for their green felt tops.
What you’ll need:
- Eggs (ceramic or plastic eggs work well)
- Americana Chalky Finish Paint in Heritage
- Green felt
- Scissors
- Glue gun/glue
- Paintbrush
And the steps:
- Paint your eggs: I painted ceramic eggs with Americana Chalky Finish paint in Heritage (a great carrot orange). Allow the paint to dry completely.
- Prepare the felt: Cut one-inch strips of green felt to make the carrot tops.
- Create fringe: Cut slits into the felt strips to form a “fringe,” keeping the bottom of the strip intact so it can be glued.
- Form the top: Apply hot glue to the bottom edge of the felt strip and roll it as you go to create a fringed carrot-top bundle.
- Attach the top: Glue the rolled fringe to the top of the painted egg with hot glue. Press briefly to secure.

Quick tips
- Vary the length and density of the felt fringe to create different looks (thicker or bushier carrot tops).
- You can use plastic or wooden eggs if you don’t have ceramic ones.
- Try mixing in lighter or darker orange paints for a set of carrots with subtle variation.
