Burlap Carrots Tutorial

Recently a friend of mine found these adoreable carrots on pinterest.

I went to pinterest and I thought I would type up my version of how to put them together. 

Cost me around $4.50 and is super cute to boot!!
isnt she just the cutest thing ever??

Step 1: 
purchase 1 yard of orange burlap for about 3 large carrots
 (I found mine at Hobby Lobby)

Find some fun spriggy fillers in the floral department
(Mine was left over from christmas decor)

purchase one roll of ribbon

If you don't already have any poly fil get some of that, or I have seen people use plastic grocery store bags as filler!

Supplies:
scissors, glue gun, pony tail holder

Step 2:

Cut the burlap into a triangle shape.
Then use the hot glue gun and glue the two angled sides and the bottom together.

Step 3:
Fill the carrots with poly fil
Step 4:
Gather the carrot at the top and attach an elastic ponytail holder.

Step 5:
Stuff the green "spriggy" filler in the top of the carrot and tie a cute knot of ribbon around the carrot.



Step 6: 
Attach a small piece of ribbon or twine to the backside of the carrot to have something to hang the carrot from.

Hang and enjoy!!
(somehow through an update the images have rotated and become distorted, locating the original image to repost for y'all!)
The other two are hanging on my gate!!
(and they need some filler!)
Love having something bright and cheery to drive up to!
