DIY Fabric Easter Carrots🥕

h, the carrot is now a symbol of the do-it-yourself (DIY) lifestyle. That’s because anyone with a few basic materials and a bit of creativity can make a carrot-shaped fabric object. Making a DIY fabric carrot is not only fun but also a great way to show off your creativity! In this blog post, we’ll show you how easy it is to make a fabric carrot at home.

The items you will need:
Fabric
Glue Gun
Poly-fill
Greenery stems
Twine
You’ll start by picking out 2 cute Spring fabrics that accent each other well.
Measure even squares for your pieces of fabric. I chose different sizes. One 12 inch one 10 inch one 8 inch. I wanted the sizes to accent each other.
Once you cut it you will fold it over in half like a napkin to make a perfect rectangle.
Cut it from one corner to the opposite far corner. You’ll cut it diagonally.
You should end up with a triangle piece like this
Fold it over inside out allowing a little room at the end of the fabric. You’ll use this extra fabric to glue over the other piece to make your seam.
You want to glue the outside of the fabric because you’re going to turn it inside out. If you have reversible fabric that’s even better! With a hot glue gun you will glue quickly a pretty perfect straight line all the way along the edge. Make sure there are no spaces otherwise your carrot seam will have spaces. This is the trick to the “no sewing!“
Use something long and point to help turn it inside out.
Use your poly-fill to stuff the whole carrot. Shape it as you stuff.
Once you’ve stuffed the carrot with your poly fill you’re going to gather the excess fabric at the top and tie a piece of twine around it to hold it in place. Make sure the twine tie is in the middle with the fabric gathered.
Gather your greens and twist off a couple pieces from the sprig. You can use wire cutters for this or it should be able to twist off pretty easy from the rest of the sprig. I used only a couple sprigs for each of the carrots.
You will stick the wire down in the center of the top of the carrot were you tie the twine.
Now you have two adorable fabric carrots for the Easter season!
I placed all my carrots in a little Easter basket and set it on my entryway table for decoration. Another fun, cute, simple and inexpensive craft especially on the “stay at home” quarantine days!! Stay well stay safe and stay creative. God bless!
