Yipee!
Spring has Sprung around here.
How about where you are?
I sure hope so! I know it is has been a long, hard cold winter for many.
if it makes you feel any better, it was pretty sucky here in the South.
Today, I am sharing a Spring carrot craft with Rit dye and twine.
The first time I dyed sysal rope and dyed burlap was back in the fall.
I loved both those projects and thought I would try it again and make with a cone foam carrot!
Easy, wrap and hot glue every so wraps you go.
After your foam cone is completely wrapped
that is when you can dye the twine.
I used it straight up from the bottle, and simply brushed it on with an artist craft brush.
Two coats made the color richer.
Perfect carrot color Sunshine orange. One of my favorite colors here.
I use it on my Sunshine orange dollar tree vase
and my Gesso and round bowl vase pumpkin.
I made these mod podge eggs last year. Never did get a chance to show you.
Just like I never showed you my Butterfly vase I made last year. When I opened up my Spring tote this year
it was all a happy surprise. You forget what junk you have after a while.
I just mod podge on a plastic dollar tree egg with some garden magazine clippings.
Nothing has to be perfect when you do these little crafts. It’s all about the relaxation and just going with it.
I used a faux grass sprig from the dollar tree for the stem.
Funny part is I had it on the wrong end at first and when my son Jack came home he said
Oh that is pretty neat Mom but you have it wrong. I argued with him, but it turned out he was right lol!
This little vignette is going on the Coffee table.
Thanks for stopping by today.
Always happy to see you.

Very bright and cheery, Debbie! Thanks for sharing how it is done.
Very cute Debbie!!! I have plastic eggs I’m trying to figure out what to do with…..this would work and I could dye them all different colors! Thanks, once again, for the inspiration!~~Angela
Cute idea! I’ve never used Rit dye. Amazing the ideas you can come up with!
This is a very cute idea, Debbie! I’m looking for all the spring I can find…snowing AGAIN here…
What a cute idea! I haven’t used the Rit dye for crafts…guess I need to change that. 🙂
Sorry I haven’t been around much…still having technical problems here. I don’t even have
my phone # back. 🙁
Have a great weekend! It’s absolutely gorgeous here today after our storms last night. It’s
been too warm and high humidity and yes, that brings the storms & tornadoes.

Cute Easter craft Debbie, you are the queen of Rit-Dye.
Pinning this. That’s about the only carrot I would want to have hanging around my house.
Really cute, Debbie! Sharing!
Thanks Sharon!
Hello Debbie,
What a great idea for a decorative carrot. Don’t see many to decorate with…….a must try…..
you really don’t see that many carrots to decorate with:) Easy fix, make your own.
That is so cute! As usual, you always have such clever ideas.
That is so cute! I had no idea you could dye twine!
Yes, you can, and it looks cool too!
Really cute Debbie! Happy Spring!!

Debbie, I just read your basket dye-ing(sp?) tutorial over on the Rit site. So cool! This carrot is adorable. You always come up with such cute and clever projects. Keep ’em coming!
Oh thanks Shannon!
Adorable!
There seems to be nothing you can’t do with Rit dye! You are so creative and I wonder if you dream about different ideas you can try it on. lol I think that’s one of the best DIY carrots I’ve ever seen!
Debbie 🙂
