# Making Easter carrot name tags with the Carrot Name Tag Generator

> carrot-shaped name tags for Easter baskets and spring tables

The Easter basket equivalent of the stocking tag: type a **Name** and it becomes a carrot, with the letters connected along the tapering body and leafy greens at the top. **Carrot Width** scales the vegetable, **Text Size** balances the name inside it, and **Hole Size** fits your ribbon. One control panel, one cut path, endless baskets.

## What you need

- **Laser cutting:** 3 mm orange [acrylic](https://yxecreations.com/pages/acrylic-sheets) for the obvious reason, or [laser-grade plywood](https://yxecreations.com/collections/laser-grade-plywood) to paint or leave natural
- **Finishing:** ribbon or raffia (very carrot-top) for hanging

## Step 1 - Name and font



Enter the name and pick a rounded connected font. The letters merge with the carrot body, so chunky styles survive the taper better than fine scripts. Short names read best - this is a carrot, not a baguette.

## Step 2 - Size the carrot



- **Carrot Width** around 120-150 mm makes a basket-handle tag; smaller for place settings.
- **Text Size** should fill the body without poking through the outline.
- **Hole Size** of 4 mm takes ribbon or raffia.

## Step 3 - Export the SVG



Download the **SVG** - a single cut-ready path per carrot. Batch every cousin's name before the holiday.

## Laser Cutting

### Laser cutting



1. Cut orange acrylic in one pass - done, no finishing.
2. On plywood, engrave some texture lines across the body before cutting for a sketchbook look, then paint or leave raw.
3. Two-color trick: cut the greens separately from green acrylic in your laser software and glue them behind the top.
4. Tie to the basket handle with raffia.

## Make it yours

- One carrot per Easter basket so the egg hunt loot stays sorted.
- Place-setting carrots lying across the brunch napkins.
- A carrot garland: every grandkid's name strung along the mantel.
- Mark the vegetable garden: cut Carrots, Beets, Peas as oversized stakes (and see the Plant Stakes Maker for proper stakes).
- Pastel plywood-painted carrots for a softer spring palette.
- Mini carrots as napkin-ring charms.
- Pair with the Egg Ornament Generator for the complete Easter set.
