How To Make A Carrot Garland
Can you feel it? The days are getting longer (and warmer), the birds are singing, and the grass is turning green.
Spring is in the air! That means it’s time to get the house ready to celebrate the season of rebirth and renewal.
An easy spring burlap garland is the perfect addition to your home decor this spring. A quick and easy project like this carrot garland can be completed in minutes, and you will have some great hanging burlap carrots to show off in your home.
If you love decorating with carrots in the spring, this perfect project is for you. It pairs well with some of my other spring decor ideas, such as my Easy DIY Spring Burlap Wreath and My Favorite Front Porch Decor for Spring.

Supplies Needed To Make A Carrot Garland
- Craft Carrots – I used three bunches, but it will depend on how long you want your finished garland.
- Jute Garland with Burlap Flowers
Step 1: Tie Carrots Onto Garland
Just tie the carrots onto the garland. I added two in between each flower, as shown below.
I tied them where the green part of the carrot meets the orange. After some trial and error, I found that starting in the center and working my way to both ends worked best.
Step 2: Hang Carrot Garland
Once you add all the carrots you want to your carrot garland, you can hang it as part of your home decor.
Wow, super simple, right?
I am absolutely in love with these carrots, and I can’t believe you can actually buy them like this. I am sure you can think of other projects that will be amazing with them as well.
For now, I will add this one to a spring mantel in my home!

FAQs About Carrot Garland
Here are a few common questions that I often see readers asking about making this carrot garland. If you have a question, please check if I’ve already addressed it below. If you don’t see your question listed, please leave it in the comments!
Can I Make My Own Carrots Instead Of Buying Them?
Sure! Although you could make something like this carrot made from buttons or try your hand at making burlap carrots, doing either one will take a lot of time that you could spend on other crafts.
I love crafting and making items from scratch, but I wouldn’t be able to make burlap carrots that look that good in the time it takes to order the supplies and open them. In this case, buying them was the obvious choice.
Could I Use Different Color Carrots?
Absolutely! If you want to make this carrot garland more your style or for Easter, you can use carrots that come in pastels, buffalo check print, etc.
I Can’t Find The Same Jute Twine Garland, What Can I Use Instead?
The exact twine I used doesn’t seem to be available anymore. So, you could use plain jute twine, or you can find some with different flowers on them. You could also try making this carrot garland with jute twine that has burlap leaves instead of flowers. I think that would look really cute, too!
