I got the crafting itch again. This time it was for something to pep up my table. I went to my felt stash, saw orange and green, and knew it could make an adorable carrot! It's so easy you can do it too! I whipped them all up in less than 30 minutes!
The supplies you need are simple! You'll nee a hot glue gun, felt, cardboard (I used a mac and cheese box), a marker, and a good pair of scissors.
First, you'll need to make your pattern. I just free-handed what I wanted it to look like, then cut it out. Next, I traced the carrot top on the green felt as many times as napkin rings I wanted, five.
Then, I traced the carrot pattern. My felt had been in the drawer for a while, so I tried to avoid the creases.
The, I cut strips for the actual napkin ring. I think they were 1.5 inches by about 6 inches, but of course I forgot to write down the measurements! I would suggest cutting one out, trying it out around a napkin, and then making them all the same.
After that, I added some cuts to the carrot top to make them look more fringed. I glued them to the top of the carrots with hot glue.
I attached one end to of the rectangle to the middle of the back of the carrot.
Then I looped it around to make a ring and glue the other side down.
Add your favorite napkin, cloth or disposable, and you have a bright accessory for your place setting!
What do you think? Easy enough?
