DIY Jute Carrots for Spring Decorating
I'm always looking at the things I see and I try to figure out how I can make it for less.
I thought these adorable carrots would be easy enough to make at home, maybe not exactly the same but certainly similar enough.

I began by collecting my supplies:
- orange jute twine
- thin cardboard or card stock
- hot glue
First I cut the cardboard, I used heavy card stock paper and rolled it into cones.
I used hot glue to glue the cones together.
Next, I glued the end of my jute into the hole at the tip of the cone and started wrapping the jute up the cone.
I used little dots of hot glue on the cone to keep the jute in place as I wrapped.
When I got to the end I trimmed the cardboard.

And then I made several more...
Inside the cone I added more hot glue then using faux greens I had in my workshop and stuffed the cones with greenery.
You can really use any kind of faux greenery you have, even strips of ribbon will work.
I made a few wrapped with orange burlap while I was at it.

I lined the carrots up alternating the designs.

At this point you can leave them as they are and put them in a bowl or tiered tray for decoration or you can add a length of jute to the back for hanging.

I love the idea of creating something from nothing and it didn't cost me $20 to buy them at the store.
