Use them to decorate your mantle, set them in a basket as a centerpiece, or tie one on top of a napkin with twine to place on each dinner plate. It’s so easy to make these wrapped yarn carrots, and they look so adorable on the Easter table!

Helpful Tip:

Be sure to wrap the yarn evenly, with no overlapping or gaps, for the best look.

What type of yarn do I need?

For the orange yarn, we used Craft Smart yarn from Michaels, which is an acrylic medium weight yarn. For the green yarn, we used an inexpensive, 100% cotton yarn from the dollar store. The acrylic (orange) yarn has a silkier texture, while the cotton yarn gives the green carrot top more of a grassy look.

What size are these yarn carrots?

Our carrots are about 5-1/2 inches long, and about 1 inch wide at the top. The green tassel is about 2-1/2 inches long, not including the loops that are glued inside.

What else can I use to make this carrot craft?

If you don’t want to make your own cone out of cardstock, wrap the yarn around a styrofoam cone instead. Or try using orange twine in place of yarn for a more rustic look. Then for the greenery, you could also use ribbon or raffia.

How can I display these Easter carrot decorations?

Display the carrots on their own on the mantel, or place them beside a plush Easter Bunny (or maybe a pom pom bunny!). These yarn carrots also look super cute arranged in a basket. You can even place them in a clay pot that has floral moss in it and add a small plant marker labeled ‘CARROTS’.

This carrot craft is so easy to make and they end up looking so cute! I love when inexpensive, simple craft supplies come together to become something so fun!
