I had on hand and put a small “hook” on one end. I then started sorting buttons from smallest to largest. The hook insured that the buttons would not fall off.
Just run the wire through the button holes and stack up buttons until you feel your stack is “carrot” like. I got slightly larger all the way up but at the very top I put a couple of buttons that were slightly smaller.
This is a great project for the kids to get involved in. Sorting and stacking the buttons is super easy. Plus it will even help with those fine motor skills! When you are done stacking, just twist the wire into a pretty shape and cut off the excess.
I used green baker’s twine
to wrap that top portion and make it just as pretty as my button carrot. A carrot made of buttons? Yep it almost looks good enough to eat. This one is perfect for your spring decorating. I just love the carrot trend since it is slightly different then the standard pastel decor for spring. Y’all enjoy making one (or more) of these button carrots for yourself — in 15 minutes or less! Be sure to stay tuned as we bring you even more quick crafts all week this week!
These are so adorable.
This is adorable-I love it!
What a great idea! A few of these in a bucket would be fabulous!!!
That’s a great project for old folks too to sharpen their skills. Love your carrot, the orange is so cheery and bright and so easy. Gives me an excuse to order buttons, which I love to play with.
You have so many exceptional projects on your blog I could be on here all night looking at all your posts. Happy Days Angie
That is such a fun carrot!!! I love button projects… Ann is sending me one of her pillows that has a button heart on it. I can’t wait!!!
