Tissue Paper & Handprint Carrot Craft
Hi friends! I’m so glad you landed on today’s tutorial! I’m going to show you how EASY it is to take basic materials and make a quick craft that is perfect for spring and/or Easter!
Then you can easily turn your finished paper carrots into holiday decorations by stringing a whole bunch on a banner or even turn them into puppets by hot gluing them onto jumbo popsicle sticks. The possibilities are pretty endless! I just set up the basic framework for you today and I hope you run with it!
So what are you waiting for? Grab those craft supplies, find all the details below and grab the freebie file as well. Then get to work on making some of your own “paper smiling carrots” with your child right now! It’s the perfect excuse to get to “hoppin” and join them in the fun!
BTW – don’t forget to save the finished paper carrot creations as a keepsake to place in your scrapbook, since the handprint as the greenery is too adorable to just throw away!!!
Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s tissue paper carrot with us our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to see! #gluedtomycrafts
