Yarn Wrapped Clothespin Carrots Supplies:

• Flat Wood Clothespins {affiliate link}
• Orange Craft Yarn
• Green Craft Felt
• Craft Scissors
• Thick Tacky Glue or for older children, Hot Glue Gun

Directions:

• You need ONE flat clothespin per carrot craft.
• If using a glue gun, get it hot and ready {only for older children or adults!}
• Start off by going to town on WRAPPING the orange yarn several times around the clothespin {from top to bottom} until it’s completely covered and the thickenness you like.
• When done, use scissors to cut the yarn.
• Hot glue {or use tacky glue} the end of the yarn piece to the clothespin, so it doesn’t come un-done. Set aside.
• Grab your green craft felt and scissors. Cut out some greenery for the carrot top.
• Glue it to the clothespin.
• Repeat the above steps and set ALL your yarn wrapped carrots aside to let them dry completely before playing/displaying proudly!
