Easter

“What’s up Doc?”

I just couldn’t resist!   Today is “What’s happening Wednesday” and I’m gonna show you how to make some carrots!  No, not the ones you eat…ones you can decorate with!  Mr. Hippity Hoppity…aka “The Easter Bunny” is coming soon!  I thought he might like some extra big carrots….he,he,he.. Ahem… I saw a version of these at Sassy Style Interior Redesign sometime in the fall and I knew I wanted to make some for Easter. I did two fabric ones, I didn’t like mine as much as I liked hers …so
I went and got some yarn that was actually called “Carrot” I thought hmmm…carrot…ya, that would work! 
What you need to make your own is:

– Styrofoam Cones
– Glue Gun
– Yarn
– Green Grass
– Scissors
– Orange Fabric (optional)

I got everything at the dollar store EXCEPT: Yarn and Fabric those I got at walmart..
(I didn’t add the fabric in the picture)
The Styrofoam is awesome because you can just squish it with you fingers and form it any way want.  At first I used a knife to cut it, but it left “sharp edges” that I would just press down with my finger so, I just used my good ole’ fingers.  just press the top and tip into rounded shapes, and then just press indents throughout the “body” of it!
Dab a dot of Glue on the tip and hold it there for a sec until it firms up.
I used two strands at a time. On some of them I twisted the yarn  and some I just did straight, it’s really up to you what you want to do.  Make sure you dab a little glue every so often and just wrap it around the cone!
When you get to the top, this is where I left a space that I could shove the “grass” into it. After did that, I just finished wrapping the yarn until the cone was completely covered.
I have had a hard time deciding where to put these cuties… Basket? Apothecary Jar?.A repainted tin?
This fun trunk?
I think I found there new home!  Until tomorrow that is….
What do you think?  If you decide to make some..I would love to see what you do with yours!  
 Have a great day All!

    Those carrots look really sweet! and that's coming from someone who only eats carrots when there's some kind of veggie dip around! Actually I like how carrots look…but not how they taste! 🙂 Great job on your crafty carrots!!!
