on a doll's cake here.


       This Easter carrot wreath is small enough to look just right in a Barbie dollhouse, but you could hang it as a small wreath inside of an American Girl dollhouse as well. You can also make it larger if you use a carrot chocolate candy mold.

Supply List:

  • a small carrot mold 
  • cardboard
  • green yarn
  • white school glue
  • hot glue gun and hot glue
  • acrylic paints: orange, rust, moss green, light green
  • Sculpey or oven-bake clay
  • Mod Podge
  • thin wire for hanging
Step-by-Step Instructions:
  1. Cut a wreath shape any size you would like from light weight cardboard. 
  2. Smear white glue onto both sides and wrap dark green yarn around and around the wreath until you have covered all of the cardboard. Let dry.
  3. Mold as many carrots as needed using oven-bake clay. Bake and cool.
  4. Use a hot glue gun to attach the carrots side-by-side.
  5. Paint the carrots orange and green, just as you like.
  6. Mod Podge the clay surfaces.
  7. Tie on a thin wire to hang the wreath from a small tack on the inside of your dollhouse wall or on the outside of the dollhouse front door.
