Repurposed Wood Shim Carrots
I have been spending a good amount of time at Home Depot lately since we bought our fixer-upper house but I don't mind, it's like a big craft store in my opinion!
If you can think outside the box a little bit there are so many possibilities for things you'll find at a hardware store.
My latest inspiration came from a couple packages of wood shims. I made some carrots with them! 😊

Wood shims are used in construction for leveling up windows and doors among other things. They are thicker at one end and thinner at the other... perfect for making carrots!

DeleteVery clever carrots! And guess what i have out in my stash?! I love the greenery however it does look like it's had a hard life! Perfect for carrot tops, tho!
ReplyDeleteHaha! That's actually how the greenery looked when I bought it, it's from a garland and has a bunch grouped together.
DeleteI think you just invented a much better reason to pick up a wood shim!! Brilliant execution and so adorable!
