Hey there, Sweet Friends, it’s the Pinterest Challenge day. For the April Pinterest Challenge, watch me create a Carrot Wreath – April Pinterest Challenge.

I was cruising around Pinterest and I found this pin. A carrot wreath using tulips. What a cutie!!!!! It just so happened that the pin was from my Sweet Friend Chloe from Celebrate and Decorate. I love Chloe’s tulips, but finding tulips at the Dollar Store can be a little tough. I decided to add a little uniqueness to my carrot wreath by using Dollar Store florals.

Carrot Wreath for your home!

In case you’re new to the blog, the purpose of the Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants (and you too) to not just pin, but to make it happen! This month’s challenge I chose to make a Carrot Wreath to go along with all the other carrots I’ve been making this Spring. Have you seen my Vintage Clothespin Carrots and Spindle Leg Carrots?

This craft was inspired by this Pinterest pin —>>Tulip Carrot Wreath from Celebrate and Decorate!

Materials needed to Create the Carrot Wreath:

• Faux Orange Flowers – I used 8 Tiger Lily stems.
• Faux Greenery
• Ribbon
• Wire Wreath Form
• Glue Gun and Glue Stick
• Pipe Cleaners
• Wire cutters
• Scissors

Instructions on How to Create the Carrot Wreath:

Step one: Gather your supplies.

Step two: Wrap your ribbon around your metal wreath form.

Step three: Remove all of the leaves from your flowers. Save them, as you will possibly want to use them later. Use wire or a pipe cleaner to gather your flowers together. Gather four flowers then three flowers, then two flowers, then one flower.

You can see the front of the flowers here.

You can see the back of the flowers here.

Step four: Gather your greenery and use a pipe cleaner or wire to hold it together.

Step five: Attach the greenery and the flowers together. Check out the picture below.

Step six: Use a pipe cleaner or piece of wire to attach carrot with greenery onto ribbon wrapped wreath form.

Step seven: Gather ribbon to create a bow.

Tip: cut the edges of the ribbon in an angled way for a fancy look.

Enjoy your wreath! Hang it on a door, an old window or just the wall.

I hope i’ve inspired you to take Dollar Store items to create a Spring Wreath for your Front Door. Now go out there and Create Something.

Hey there, Sweet Friends, my hope for you is that you are healthy and happy and enjoying this time when we should be socializing less.

I’m thankful for my health and during this period of chaos, I’m really thankful for the Internet. Every Monday and Wednesday I upload new videos on You Tube. Monday’s video was Vintage Spring Decorating. In this video, I showed three ways to style Spindle Carrots.

New Video on You Tube!

Remember in February when I joined a bunch of bloggers on the Spring Pinterest Challenge and I created Spindle Carrots? If you missed that post you can watch it here. Those carrots, inspired me to create carrots from clothespins on a video called, Vintage Clothespin Centerpiece on my HomeTalk TV episode that you can watch here. I created th clothespin carrots and then decorated my table.

I just cannot get enough of carrots.

I just cannot get enough Spring Decorating!

Are you excited for Spring? Oh good!

Are you looking for Spring decorating ideas? Oh good!

Spring Decor!

In Monday’s video, I’m showing off how I styled my carrots three different ways. Don’t forget to watch the video after you read the post and comment on your favorite style.

Vintage Carrots Styled Three Ways!

Number one:

For the first styling, I used a wire basket and some yellow grasses.

Number two:

For the second styling, I used a vintage colander and some green grasses with a chalkboard sign saying, “Happy Spring!”

Number three:

For the third styling, I used a tiered tray and decorated it with all of my favorite vintage items. On the bottom shelf of the tray, I added a small mason jar with some moss and added three carrots.

Vote on your Favorite Style!

Now, it’s time to vote.

Which is your favorite way the carrots have been styled? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Leave me a comment.

I think my favorite is the colander?

Although I really like the tiered tray too?

Decisions, decisions, decisions, good thing I can just let y’all vote!

I hope I’ve inspired you to go out there and Create Something.
