Welcome to 3-D Thursday and this week it is my turn to show you a little something and because I have been busy planting my vegetable garden I have plants on the mind and decided to make a garden themed little something…
Further down this post you will find a link to the FREE Project Sheet that has step by step instructions & color photos that you can save to your computer or print out and have on hand for easy reference PLUS you will find a full list of Supplies used to make this at the end of this post.
And here it is – a little Red Wagon Seed Packet Holder! This would make a cute little gift for the garden-loving people in your life…
The body of the wagon is made using the crate die from Wood Crate Framelits and I really wanted to bling it up but nothing seemed to look right – and then I realized that red wagons are supposed to be, well, just red wagons so I decided to leave it looking as is, clean & simple.
I made the wheels using Circle Punches – if you want stronger wheels you can cut two of three layers of the black circles and sandwich them together – and added a silver metallic dot to the center of each…
The handle is simply a thin strip of black cardstock with a shape on the end – you can use any shape you like but I found one that works well in Pocket Framelits Dies…
And then you pop in your treats – the wagon can hold lightweight items such as a few packets of seeds or food treats like a cello bag filled with popcorn – you don’t want anything heavy in there or the wheels will buckle.
You could use flower seeds, veggie seeds, herb seeds – whatever your garden person loves to grow – for me, it’s anything edible LOL but I especially love growing Basil & Cilantro…
And you can bling it up to your heart’s content – I tied a Garden Green bow (very appropriate color I thought!) onto a Binder Clip, then made a little stamped tag that I shaped using another die from Wood Crate Framelits, added a little wooden flower and tied it on with Bakers Twine…
And there you have one super cute little Red Wagon ready for giving!
