- Cardboard
- Orange yarn
- Green paint
- Clothespins
- Paint brush
Instructions
- Paint the Clothespins: Begin by painting three clothespins green. These will become the leafy top of your carrot. Set them aside to dry completely.
- Cut Out the Carrot Shape: While your clothespins are drying, cut out a carrot shape from your cardboard. This doesn't have to be perfect; a simple elongated triangle will do.
- Prepare the Yarn: Cut a length of orange yarn long enough to cover your cardboard carrot. Tape one end of the yarn to the back of the cardboard to secure it.
- Wrap the Yarn: Start wrapping the orange yarn around the cardboard carrot. Be sure to wrap it tightly enough so that the cardboard doesn't show through, but leave a little space at the top for the clothespins.
- Secure the Yarn: Once your carrot is mostly covered in yarn, cut the yarn and secure the end to the back of the cardboard with tape.
- Attach the Clothespins: Finally, attach the three green clothespins to the top of the carrot. They should fit snugly and stand upright, mimicking the look of carrot greens.
