If you’re looking for a simple yet super fun Easter-themed craft, we’ve got you covered with the step-by-step guide for making pipe cleaner carrots!
This craft is not only a delightful addition to your seasonal decor, but it’s also a great exercise in fine motor skills and patience for your little makers. It’s also the perfect art project idea to add to your spring and Easter celebrations!
Orange and green pipe cleaners turn into carrots with ease! Just follow our simple tutorial below to see how to recreate it in your home today!
Craft Supplies:
- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks – 2 per craft
- Mini Popsicle Sticks – 1 per craft
- Hot Glue Gun
- Green Pipe Cleaners
- Orange Pipe Cleaners
Directions:
- First have children assemble the base of their carrot by gluing THREE {two jumbo and one mini} popsicle sticks together to look like a triangle.
- Allow it to dry completely before moving on.
- Now for the “orange” portion of the craft. Grab about six to eight orange pipe cleaners.
- One by one, fold/bend them around the popsicle stick triangle. Since the pipe cleaners are made with bendable metal, they should stay in place. If they don’t, go ahead and use a little bit of hot glue to secure them where you want it to be.
- To finish off the Pipe Cleaner and Popsicle Stick Carrot pieces – grab your remaining green pipe cleaners {about four to six} and bend/twist them to create the greenery.
- For displaying – glue some string to the back for easy hanging or adding to gift packages!
