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.

A couple of weeks ago in my post, “Welcome Home Sign DIY,” I received some positive comments about the Yarn Wreath called “Happy Feet!” Sweet Friends asked for the DIY, so here you go.

Yarn Wreath DIY

The Welcome Home Sign was a Trash To Treasure post where I took an old art easel and made a Welcome Home Sign. You can read it here. The video is also on You Tube here.

The Happy Feet Wreath was made years ago. I have been wanting to recreate the wreath in a smaller version, because I could not find the original one and then as I was digging the art easel out of storage I noticed the Happy Feet Wreath. I thought with Summertime in full swing, it would be perfect for my home.

This wreath is super easy and doesn’t cost a lot to make.

Supplies needed:

• Foam Wreath
• Green Yarn
• Push Pins
• Skewer or stick
• Ribbon
• Paper and stickers or marker
• Floral ribbon

Directions:

1. Wrap the yarn around the foam wreath.
2. Use the Push Pins to secure it into place.
3. Make a sign which states, “Happy Feet!” and attach it with ribbon to a skewer or stick.
4. Cut ribbon to create a bow and attach to wreath using push pins.
5. Get creative, have fun and enjoy the process. Add a piece of yarn to the back and hang on your door or wall.

Make it a great day!
