Dollar Store Block Carrot Picks for Plants
Here's a simple project using Dollar Tree stacking blocks to decorate a vase of flowers or plants for Easter.
This project uses the stacking blocks from Dollar Tree.
They are similar to the Jenga blocks I've used for many projects but smaller.

I began by gluing 6 blocks together in the shape of a carrot and one block across the top.
I used hot glue to glue the blocks together.
On the top I drilled a small hole to add a sprig of greenery.
Any kind of greenery will look adorable growing out of the top.
Orange craft paint and a dry brush gave me the distressed look I was after.
I used a fine grit sandpaper to sand the edges of the blocks.
I added a wooden skewer to the back of the carrot with hot glue and it was ready to stick in a plant.
Add the carrot to a vase of flowers for a cute decorative look for Easter.
Give a bouquet of flowers with a carrot pick for an added little gift!
You can make several carrots from one dollar box of blocks!
Leave off the skewer and you can fill a bowl or a tiered tray with wooden carrots too.
