Strips of coloured paper (approx 1.5cm x 20cm), a needle and string, glue, scissors, decorative beads and a stapler.

First create your carrot tops by folding the paper strips in half, then curving to make an ‘m’ shape. Staple to hold in place. You will need 2 ‘m’s for each carrot.

Using the other coloured paper, make the main carrot by folding in the middle, then gently looping over to create an elongated heart shape.

To complete your carrot, take the carrot tops and place them in the space at the top of the heart, secure with a staple.

Glue a bead to one of the carrot tops. Allow time to dry, then create your garland by attaching each carrot together using a needle and thread. Leave a little extra thread at either end so you can hang your garland.

Display your garland with some Denby favourites to make the perfect finishing touch for your spring shelfie.

Clean egg shells, well-draining soil, a selection of mini succulent plants, a little brush to clean.

Fill each little egg shell with the soil. We used a well-draining compost to suit the succulents.

Carefully add each succulent to the egg shell. Use your little brush to gently wipe the egg shell clean.

Display on your favourite Denby piece for a creative eco-alternative display that uses up egg shells and can be enjoyed all year round.
