STEP TWO


Glue the small clay pot into the medium clay pot with a glue gun and glue sticks.


Secure the large clay pot inside the medium clay pot.


Glue the clay pots together at different angles to give the carrot some character.



STEP THREE


Apply random swashes of bright orange and dark orange acrylic craft paint to the exterior of the clay pots to replicate the texture of a carrot.



STEP FOUR


Cut a foam cone in half with a plastic knife. Secure the larger half inside the clay pot with a glue gun and glue sticks.


Basecoat the foam with medium orange acrylic craft paint. Let dry, and apply a second coat, if necessary.



STEP FIVE


Trim the stems from silk greenery with wire cutters.


Insert the greenery stems into the center of the foam to replicate the green stem and fronds of a carrot.



STEP SEVEN
