Making the Carrots:

2. Spray the top of the carrot with the adhesive spray.
3. Immediately sprinkle moss over the adhesive.
4. Remove the plastic wrap or sandwich bag and let the moss dry.
5. Once dry, place the carrot face down on the orange burlap.
6. Trace around the bottom of the carrot with a marker to create the cutting line on the burlap.
7. Cut out the carrot shape from the burlap.
8. Spray the bottom of the carrot with adhesive spray.
9. Quickly place the carrot-shaped burlap onto the adhesive. Repeat these steps for the rest of the carrots.
Creating the Garland:
1. Thread the twine through the hole in each decoration, alternating between bunnies and carrots.
2. Hang your lovely spring garland using small nails or tacks.
