Carrot Door Hanger

Supplies

Carrot (purchased at The Wood Connection)

Orange Paint

Green Paint

Brown Paint

Sandpaper (just in case)

Painter's Tape

Embellishments of your choice

Step 1

Tape off the carrot from the stem.

Step2

Paint carrot orange. I used three different colors and used the "dry brush technique" to create more "definition." Let it dry thoroughly. 

The colors I used are pictured below.

Step 3 

Tape the stem off from the carrot

Step 4

Paint the stem green. Use different colors to create "definition."

Step 5 (optional)

 "Highlight" the stem by using  a lighter green. Do this all around the edges of the stem. 

Step 6

Contour the carrot by using brown paint. This is very important. It just adds a ton to the finished product.

Step 7

After everything has dried add your embellishments. You can do whatever makes you happy. I used white tulle, green  polka dot ribbon, and rusty wire (you can find it at any craft store.) You could also modge podge glitter around the border of the carrot. I was going to do this, but i liked it with out it.

Step 8

Display your cuteness.
