Hi Friends! It is Lisa back with you today to share a step by step on how to make a covered wagon using 450 Quick Dry and some basic craft supplies. I really enjoyed making these for our book study "Warm As Wool" by Scott Russell Sanders.
Step One:
Using the craft sticks with slots, build a "bed" for your wagon. We used three sticks, fitted together, all the way around.
Step Two: Using the popsicle sticks create a frame, gluing the sticks together with 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.
Step Three: When you have your frame done and it has dried, you can add sticks all the way across to create a base. Add 450 Quick Dry and apply the base to your "bed" you created.
Step Four: Add four popsicle sticks for support and stability for your "canvas".
Step Five: Add a "canvas" cover for your wagon, using the brown paper. You will need to fold in each side a bit for size and stability. Use the 450 to apply the paper to the craft sticks and clothes pins to hold the pieces together while the glue dries.
Step Six: While these are drying we added the "wheels". I precut four circles from heavy cardstock and cut holes in the center to slip in popsicle sticks into each "wheel". Then, I glued two sticks together to make then the right fit for under our wagon.
Step Seven: Lastly, I attatched the wheels to our wagon with a bit more 450 Quick Dry.
Supplies:
Craft and Popsicle sticks
clothes pins
