Supplies Needed

Carrot Burlap Garland Instructions
This is really so easy I am not even sure if I should call it a craft tutorial. But, here we go with some step-by-step instructions!
Step 1
Just tie the carrots onto the garland. I added two in between each flower, as shown below.
I tied them where the green part of the carrot meets the orange. After a little trial and error, I found that starting in the center and working my way out to both ends worked best.
Step 2
Once you add all the carrots you want to your carrot garland, you are ready to hang your spring burlap garland as part of your home decor.
Wow, super simple, right?
I am absolutely in love with these carrots, and I can’t believe you can actually buy them like this. I am sure you can think of other projects that will be amazing with these carrots as well. Burlap carrots for all of the projects!
For now, I will be adding this one to a spring mantel in my home.

FAQs
If you have questions about how to make this garland with burlap carrots, you’ve come to the right place! Please leave your question for me in the comments if you don’t see it already answered below.
Can I make my own carrots instead of buying them?
Sure! Although you could make something like this carrot made from buttons or try your hand at making burlap carrots, doing either one will take huge amounts of time that you could spend doing other crafts.
I love crafting and making items from scratch, but I wouldn’t be able to make burlap carrots that look that good in the time that it takes to order the supplies and open them up. In this case, buying them was the obvious choice.
I can’t find the same jute twine garland. What can I use instead?
The exact twine I used doesn’t seem to be available anymore. So, you could use plain jute twine, or you can find some that have different flowers on them. Or, you could try making this carrot garland with jute twine that has burlap leaves instead of flowers. I think that would look really cute too!

Is there reason we can’t use carrot garland thru summer also? Think would be cute hanging with maybe couple more veggie garlands on a fence or outdoor tent, or from some cute lights.
Would love to buy couple carrot bunches but am so broke, 5 weeks between paydays and all my disposable income gets used for medical bills from shoulder surgery on 12/7/15.
Was able to find paper Spring garland downloaded from a blog last year, hung from shutter shelf. Been making some new Spring art, just have to repaint few frames.
Your Spring garland is as cute as can be, will be wonderful hanging in your home. Enjoy weekend
Definitely use it all summer! Good luck!
