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!
