Add Larger Treats at Top

Continue Adding Treats

Continue down the pencil, adding treats as you go. Save the larger items for the top of the carrot and smaller things like stickers for the tip. When finished, trim crepe paper and glue the end down. Don't worry if the carrot has a rustic shape--a final layer will be added later to smooth out any imperfections.

Add a Final Taut Wrap

Finish the carrot by tautly wrapping a final layer or two of crepe paper over the entire length of the carrot. Glue end down. An adult can do the final layer for younger children.
