Here's how to create Carrots from Dollar Tree Clothespins
STEP ONE
To begin the Dollar Tree Clothespin Carrots, gather all materials and remove supplies from the packaging. Remove metal springs from wooden clothespins and set them aside.
Attach two wooden clothespin halves together, back-to-back using a glue gun and glue sticks. Liquid craft glue can be used, but you will have to wait for it to dry.
STEP TWO
Basecoat the front, back, and sides of the wooden clothespins with Jack-O-Lantern Orange acrylic craft paint. Let dry and apply a second coat, if necessary. Use a variety of shades of orange for added interest. I love Americana Acrylics from DecoArt because they have one-coat coverage on most surfaces.
STEP THREE
Measure and cut six-inch lengths of assorted green ribbons and trims with a ruler and scissors. Use a fun mix of colors, patterns, and textures of ribbons and trims. This project is a great way to use up scraps!
STEP FOUR
Gather the five to six assorted ribbons and trims together, then tie the group in a knot at the center. Apply a small dot of glue from a glue gun at the top of the knot and press the ribbon ends together. This will prevent the ribbon leaves from flopping around.
STEP FIVE
Attach the green ribbon leaves to the top of the clothespin carrots using a glue gun and glue sticks. Press the ribbons and clothespins together tightly until the glue cools completely.
