Doodlebug Easter Carrot Treats!

Hi crafty friends! Happy Monday and Happy Easter Week! I'm up on the Doodlebug Blog and here on my blog today to share some cute Easter carrots I made with the Doodlebug Hippity Hoppity Collection! Just in time for some Spring and Easter crafting. These fun paper carrots would be great at each place setting for your holiday table, or little gifts for friends and co-workers. They are super easy to make and fun too! I filled my treat carrots with chocolate eggs and can't wait to give them away! CLICK HERE for the simple directions to make the shape/template. This would also be a really fun project to do with the kids or grandkids! 

I used orange and green papers from the Doodlebug Floral Graph 6×6 Paper Pad and the Doodlebug Swiss Dot 6×6 Paper Pad. I used the carrot die cut from The Greetery to make the greens on top. I glued the greens inside before I sealed up the top end of the carrots. (Be sure to tuck the candy inside!)

 

This is such a cheerful project!! 

 

I used pieces from the Hippity Hoppity Collection Chit Chat pack to decorate the front of the carrots. I used some Chunky Twine, Bunny Sprinkles, and small green clothespins to add at the top for more decorations. I die cut pretty scallop circles in white cardstock to be the base for the messages.

 

I added stickers to the front and a few mini jewels too, for a little bit of shine! I used my paper crimper to crimp the top and bottom of the carrots and add a decorative element. Crimping also secures the tape holding them together. I die cut the carrot top pieces from different shades of green polka dot papers! So festive and fun. 

 

 

 

Here is the carrot in my hand to show you the size and scale. I used the full 6×6 sheet of paper for each one. 

 

Here's a close up of the top portion!

 

 

 

And here's a close up of the paper crimping! My paper crimper is like 25 years old!! I haven't used it in a long time, but I feel like I need to think up some other ideas! I can't believe I found it in my craft room! LOL. 

 

If you don't want to put them at each place on the table, I think they would be cute in a basket with some Easter grass as a cute decoration.

That's it for today! Have a super happy and wonderful Easter week! I looooove Easter week and can't wait for all the activities at church this week/weekend. I will see you back here real soon. Until then, happy crafting! XOXO
