Easter Carrot Treat Bags - Neat 2 Eat Blog. I know Easter is still a few weeks away but I’m super excited about some of the awesome and fun ideas I have for some fun Easter treats, so lets kick things off with these adorable Easter carrot treat bags, you can fill these with anything you like provided its orange, I thought seeing as how most of my ideas aren’t going to be too healthy (you have to let the littlies have a treat every now and then after all) that I would fill the ones in this post with a toddler snack rather than chocolate eggs or another treat type food, carrot sticks would also look super cute in these and they would make a great gift for class mates too!

You will need: Disposable piping bags Green crepe paper Scissors Green wrapping ribbon (or a colour of you choice) An orange food/treat of your choice (I’ve used Wiggles ricey bites) How to: Cut some lengths of ribbon (as many as required) long enough to tie off the top of your carrot and still have enough left to curl.

This cute basket is all about spring and would be so cute for an egg hunt or just for display! 1 honey bun of your choice (featured is “Swanky” but another cute softer option would be aviary by 3 sisters) *1 package of piping (6yards) I used Wrights 12/32″ cotton filler cord *and 39 inches of smaller piping (for handle) I used Writes 6/32″ cotton filler cord (comes in a package of 10 yards) *my needle was a regular ‘ol needle (but make sure you have a THIMBLE, it’s murder on the finger without!)

*and I used “Mettler” cotton silk finished thread (it’s sturdy) if you don’t that have just use quilting thread or sturdy thread. when you unravel your honey bun separate colors. start by sewing together 4 strips alternating colors randomly (I cut mine in half ,at the fold, because I wanted a more scrappy look but you can keep your strips full length). once you have 4 strips together fold in half and sew onto your thick piping. i then started to ravel around my piping with the fabric. 30 Easter basket ideas for babies and toddlers.
