No Sew Burlap Carrots for Easter

My theme this year for Easter is bunnies and carrots and the use of burlap. 

I was inspired to make some of these burlap carrots from a picture/tutorial I found on pinterest: http://daisymaebelle.com/diy-burlap-carrots/

They are really easy and all you need is:

One sheet of paper 

(for the pattern)

orange and green craft paint 

(I used two shades of each)

paint brush

scissors

burlap

raffia

hot glue gun and glue sticks

Poly fiber fill 

(or you could fill them with candy for a special treat!)

take a sheet of paper and fold it in half

make a diagonal line just off the point to about 1-2 inches from the top

it should look like this when finished cutting and

this when opened

Place pattern on burlap and cut out your carrots.

They should look like this when cut.

Draw a straight line across the carrot where the straight edge meets the
diagonal

and paint below that line. 

I added a light orange to represent the growth of the carrot. 

I let them dry

I then painted the tops green and let dry.

Next, apply hot glue down at the tip of the carrot and fold over and press to form the point.

The carrots will then roll up easily, put a bead of hot glue on one side and lay the other side over it.  You should have a cone when done. 

Let dry.

Fill the inside with fiber fill up to where the green carrot top begins. 

Pinch the top together and tie with raffia.

I made 12 carrots and this project took me about 1 hour.  The paint dries really quick and so does the glue.
