Step-by-step

Step 1

Make sure you have all your materials to hand before you start. You can see everything you need at a glance in our photo. First, print out the templates and cut out the shapes. Place the carrot on the orange paper, draw round it and cut out the transferred shape. Take the green paper and repeat the same steps with the carrot top.

Step 2

Cut the ribbon shapes out of white paper. Decorate them with simple, effective designs and lettering using the gel rollers (we used pink, light blue and gold). The ultra-fine nib is particularly good for drawing fine patterns and fonts with a lot of detail.

Step 3

When you’ve finished designing, stick the ribbon in the centre of the carrot and complete the look by adding the carrot top. Finally, attach the wooden skewer to the paper with UHU glue – and there you have it: your Easter table decoration is finished!
