Description:

OMG! I just saw this in the April Martha Stewart! Based on crepe paper surprise balls, these easy carrots hold tiny surprises that you think your partner would enjoy. One carrot to one partner, at least 5 treats inside. How-to: Loosely wrap orange crepe paper streamer to form carrot shape, making it thicker at the top. Tuck in gifts as you go. Press end of paper down into top. Fold green crepe in half across grain. Free hand draw the leaves or download carrot leaf template at marthastewart.com/easter and trace onto folded paper. Cut out top, bunch up and tuck leaves into carrot top. Secure with glue Ideas for but not limited to for trinkets: stickers, embellishments, wee things,charms, buttons,beads, ribbons/lace/fibers. Please check your partner's profile. Try to send in a (recycled?) padded envie or other protection so that your carrot doesn't get smashed to puree.
