Dollar Store twine carrots are so much fun to craft with!
Dollar Tree twine carrots have been a fan-favorite and spring crafting staple for a few years now, and it’s not hard to see why.
These cute little carrots can be suited to any decor or crafting style. The orange twine adds a pop of color that can be highlighted with other brightly-colored accents. Or, the orange can be downplayed with more black, white, and neutral accents for a more rustic or farmhouse style.
I’m no stranger to crafting with these foaTm and twine carrots. Here are a few other crafts I’ve made with them:

DIY Twine Carrot Centerpiece – Made from Dollar Tree Supplies
Supplies Needed for this Carrot Craft:
- 1 plastic half-barrel planter pot – Dollar Tree
- White chalky finish paint
- Paint brush
- Large twine carrots (from the 4-pack at Dollar Tree)
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Filler for the centerpiece – I used a small fake potted Ikea plant, straw, and some foam speckled Easter eggs
Tutorial: How to make a Dollar Store Twine Carrot Centerpiece
Watch this quick video tutorial, and then follow the step-by-step tutorial:
- Watch the video before you begin, and let that be your visual guide for this craft.
- Paint the plastic planter pot. Use a dry brush technique, allowing a bit of the faux wood grain to poke through. This can be a quick paint job, and does not need to be perfect.
- Hot glue the twine carrots to the outside of the planter pot. If using the half-barrel style plastic pot, use the divider lines between the faux planks as your guide for even spacing between each carrot.
- Fill the pot with a faux plant. Fill in empty spaces around the plant with some straw. Place Easter eggs in the faux plant, nestling them between the leaves so they stay put.
