What’s Up Doc?
We are channeling our inner Bugs Bunny with these adorable carrot treat cones! This treat carton is a classic Easter design, and they are super easy to whip up for the occasion. Below you will find both PDF and SVG versions – use the PDF if you are cutting by hand or the SVG to use with a cutting machine.
Assembling the Carrots
If you are using the SVG, cut the design onto orange cardstock or text weight paper. We used Cricut brand cardstock because it had a nice canvas-y texture that could resemble real carrots. In the PDF version the carrot is already colored in with orange, so print onto white cardstock. You will also need to use a small hole punch to create the two holes at the top of the carrot. After you cut out the carrots, crease the sides generously so that the tabs will line up nicely with each other. We usually use a glue dot roller to assemble our treat boxes, but this time we used a hot glue gun for a stronger hold on the cardstock. Double sided tape is also a nice quick option.
Start by adhering the sides of the cone together, then the two tabs at the top without holes. We then made a little tassel out of light green yarn as the carrot top. No need to use high quality yarn for this part, you should be able to find some basic skeins at your local craft store. Find our free tassel tutorial here!
Using your Carrot Treat Cones
Once you finish assembling, you can fill them with colorful jelly beans or popcorn. Hand these out to your favorite little ones on Easter, or incorporate them into your kids’ Easter baskets. Start by making a DIY Easter basket out of an upcycled grocery basket, then add some shredded strips of crepe in Green Tea as grass. Fill the basket with painted wooden eggs, a pom pom Easter bunny and any other goodies you had in mind. You can also pair the carrot treat cartons with our bunny treat boxes for a cute variety.

Watch Me on the Today Show!
On April 11th I will be appearing on the Today Show to share my new designs for a botanical Easter brunch table and a kid’s Easter table. The plan is to demo these treat cones on the show, so be sure to tune in! I will be hanging with Al Roker during the 9am hour and I could not be more excited. See you there! ~ Lia & Team

Leave a CommentLia,
I just love these carrot boxes and so easy to make. Thank you always for your inspiration for these crafts. I am so thrilled to be a member. I want to make it all, but do not always have the time to do what I want. I have made many of your projects including you felted robin. Oh so adorable.
Judy Henson
I’m so happy to hear it, Judy! Thank you for your support– we’re so glad you’re part of our community 🙂
Hi Lia,
Question… Any suggestions as to how I can print the carrot box out without color? I would love it if the children could color them independently. I would use the PDF version.
Thank you!
Crystal
What a great idea! I just added a black & white PDF version for coloring 🙂
Thank you!!!
Having trouble Lia,
Love the carrots.
Have a Explore Air 2 (Cricut).
There are 4 steps that load into Cricut Design space, the last step is the on with the carrot. Step on cuts out a partial carrot, step 2 is very time consuming and cuts a small pattern in the top left hand corner that resembles brail, step 3 is also strange. No score lines at all. step 4 cuts out the carrot, and the details, except the scoring.
So am I broken? pretty new machine, used about 4 times.
I’m going to skip all the steps but #4 and hand score… but…. I’m afraid I’ve wasted some card stock.
Hummm.
Love your take on what might be going on
Rosemarie, Talent Oregon
Hi Rosemarie, the trouble you’re having must be in Design Space. You have to manually change the settings for the score lines, and the small copy (that resembles brail) is our copyright disclaimer which is a layer you just need to turn off. Cricut’s YouTube channel has a ton of videos that might help you get up and running! https://www.youtube.com/user/OfficialCricut
Love these, but would love them even more if they were scored (I used my Cricut machine).
There are score lines in the SVG file already 🙂
Lia…can you please put fold lines on these as I can not find any and did mess up my try atdoing my own folding and so would the younger ones.. thanks…Trish
Hi Trish, there are fold lines on the PDF. They are light (don’t want them to be too obvious and ruin the design) so you may want to try printing on a “best” setting on your printer to make sure they show up.
Adorable…definitely have to try these carrot gems!!!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for posting this design. I had another post last night..failed to ask. I have the Expressions 2, can these be used on it? I have not designed anything from your blog. Are there tutorials on how to do this? Thanks so much.
Hi Janet, I’m so sorry to say that SVG cut files don’t work with Expressions machines 🙁 Most of our projects have tutorials (unless they are simple and don’t require one), and we always include a PDF printable version of our papercut projects for those who don’t have cutting machines or can’t use SVG files.
