Yarn Wrapped Carrots
Yarn wrapped carrots are a fantastic way to add a touch of charm and warmth to your home decor or craft projects. By simply wrapping yarn around a cone-shaped base in different shades of orange and green, you can create adorable little carrots that bring a whimsical feel to any room. These cute decorations are perfect for Easter, springtime, or even as part of a rustic display. Whether you are a seasoned crafter or just starting out, making yarn wrapped carrots is a fun and creative activity that is sure to bring a smile to your face and brighten up your day. So, grab your yarn and get crafting your own bunch of delightful yarn-wrapped carrots today!
You need just a few supplies:
Make It Fun styrofoam cones (you can get these at Joann’s)
Orange yarn
Green ric rac ribbon
Styrofoam cutter (a butterknife will work, too!)
From the collage you can tell this cute project is pretty self-explanitory but we’ll share a few tips anyway
Shape the cone into a carrot shape. (We used the cut edges from the top and recycled them to form the tip of the carrot.)
Wind the yarn, starting near the top, around the cone then wrap wrap wrap!
To secure loose yarn into place, push straight pins around the cone (we used about 15 per carrot, towards the top and the bottom only.)
Wrap the ric rac ribbon around your hand 5x’s; cut from spool and (while ribbon is still in one wrapped piece) place onto the top of the carrot and secure with U-shaped pin.
Once the ric rac is secure, cut the tips of the wrapped ribbon so they’re in pieces.
