Repurposed Spindle Carrots

I couldn't resist making this project the minute I saw it!

Do it Yourself Spindle Carrots


Wendi from H20 Bungalow's Spindle Carrots made these gorgeous spindle carrots and I knew right away I had to give this project a try.

I'm going to let you visit Wendi for the complete DIY tutorial so I will just show you the ones I made this morning. 

I snapped this pic and put it on my Instagram and before I knew it I had orders for 3 sets of three carrots!

I had the perfect spindles for this project and became a little obsessed with them!

I mixed yellow and red chalky paint to make a gorgeous shade of carrot orange and got to work right away painting these beauties. 

I finished them off with a quick coat of clear wax that darkened the beautiful orange color.

And while Wendi did something different for her carrot greenery, I took apart pieces from faux flowers I had in my supplies. 


I think they are the cutest things ever!

I had a few pieces of the perfect sized wood cut in the shape of an arrow so I added some greenery to the end of these too and created my own version of a rustic DIY carrot.

I must warn you however that you might not be able to stop making carrots and will begin seeing carrots everywhere you go.

Here are a couple of table legs that were just laying around my workshop and are now giant carrots.

    This is such a CUTE idea! I love it! I'm always seeing cool spindles or table legs but never had any really good ideas on how to reuse them. This really got the wheels to turning for me! Thanks for sharing!
    Also, did you make the metal bunny "cookie cutter" in the background or find it somewhere? I LOVE IT! If you made it, is there a post you can point me to? Thanks in advance! I love your style! Lori
