Supplies Needed
- Cardboard Cones
- Orange Craft Paint
- Orange Yarn
- Green Yarn
- Green Rick-Rack
- Glue (I used Aleene's Tacky Glue)
- Clover Pom-Pom Maker (optional)
I already had the cardboard cones but I've included a link in the supplies for where you can buy them.
These with the yellow ends were probably used to hold the thread for sergers.
Step 1 - Paint the cone.
Paint the cardboard cones with a paint that matches the yarn you are using so that any gaps between the strands of yarn wouldn't be noticeable. I used Cinnamon Apple.
Step 2 - Wrap the cone.
Put a bead of glue around the bottom of the cone and began wrapping the orange yard around the cone.
Once you get to the top of the cone, put the end of the yarn into the cone and coat the end of the cone with glue. It dries clear so while it looks kind of preschool now it won't for long! 😂
Here they are all covered with yarn. Now to make them look more like carrots!
Step 3 - add the trim (optional).
You can add some cute trim to the top edge of the cone if you'd like. I used some green rick-rack trim around what is now the top edge of the carrot.
I also added small pieces of yarn to the bottom of the cone to look like roots.
Step 4 - Add the tops.
Make pom-pom tops for your carrots. I made some pom-poms with my Clover pom-pom maker. I used the large pom-pom maker for the large carrots and the medium for the smaller carrot.

I hope that you enjoyed this simple Easter craft! If you did, I'd love it if you'd share it!
