Whether you’re a seasoned DIYer or just an individual looking for a fun springtime activity, these charming fabric carrots are sure to add a dash of whimsy to any space.
To start, trace a 5 1/2″ x 9″ triangle template on a piece of paper, then cut it out. (You can make other template sizes according to your liking.) Next, place the template onto the back of your fabric and trace it using a pen. After tracing, cut out the triangle. Lay it down, front side facing up, then apply glue on one long side. Once done, take the other long side and fold it over onto the glue. Let it dry. Once dry completely, flip the carrot inside out. Trim the rough edges to make it even.
Stuff the carrot with pillow stuffing, leaving some space at the top. (Use a dowel or a pencil to help push the stuffing up to the end of the carrot.) Next, cut about 15 pieces of raffia and bunch them all together. After this, twist the end of the raffia together, put some glue on it to secure them, then put a little bit more, then put it inside the carrot. Tie a piece of twine at the top of the carrot, securing the raffia in place. Glue a button in the middle of the bow twine to finish it.
