Repurposed Spindle Carrots

I'm going to let you visit Wendi for the complete DIY tutorial so I will just show you the ones I made this morning. 

I snapped this pic and put it on my Instagram and before I knew it I had orders for 3 sets of three carrots!

I had the perfect spindles for this project and became a little obsessed with them! 

I mixed yellow and red chalky paint to make a gorgeous shade of carrot orange and got to work right away painting these beauties. 

I finished them off with a quick coat of clear wax that darkened the beautiful orange color. 

And while Wendi did something different for her carrot greenery, I took apart pieces from faux flowers I had in my supplies. 

I think they are the cutest things ever! 

I had a few pieces of the perfect sized wood cut in the shape of an arrow so I added some greenery to the end of these too and created my own version of a rustic DIY carrot. 

I must warn you however that you might not be able to stop making carrots and will begin seeing carrots everywhere you go.

Here are a couple of table legs that were just laying around my workshop and are now giant carrots. 

Thanks so much Wendi for the inspiration on this project!
