Hi friends,

I turned this pallet heart into a cute carrot door hanger a few years ago and it’s just so fun! I was in Hobby Lobby the other day and noticed that they have them in stock again this year – and they are 40% off! If you think you might want to make one of these Wood Heart Carrots for Easter, check with your local Hobby Lobby to see if your store has them. You could also use a plain heart like this one to make your carrot.🥕

You can find my original post below with all the details to create your own Wood Heart Carrot.🥕

Hearts aren’t just for Valentine’s Day! I picked up this pallet heart from Hobby Lobby’s Valentine’s Day clearance thinking, that with a little paint and greenery, it might make a cute whimsical carrot to add to my Easter decor. And I think it did! 🥕

The heart measures about 14-inches long and 14-inches wide at the widest part. First I painted the heart with orange acrylic paint. After it dried, I used a 1-inch spouncer to add white polka dots. Then to add a little depth, I lightly dry brushed some brown paint over the entire heart after the polka dots were completely dry. (This is a great set of acrylic paints if you need to replenish your craft room.)

The heart came with a sawtooth hanger on the back, but I took that off so I could attach the greenery. Using hot glue, I attached a bunch of faux greenery to the back of the heart. Then I hot glued some natural twine to the back for hanging. To finish it off, I hot glued a bow made from various ribbons to the front of the heart.

I love the way it turned out! Something a little different but so fun! 🥕

You can make carrots with just about any size heart – the long skinny ones would be great! A basket filled with small carrot hearts would be so cute along with my Rustic Farmhouse Easter Bunny!
