Wagon Template Tutorial


Remember this project from last week? I promised a tutorial on the All Season Wagon Template so here it is :)

First of all, cut your pieces, either with your electronic cutter or print and cut by hand. I used MFT's wood grain digi paper from the Sheltering Tree collection to make the top of my wagon, Red Hot card stock for the wagon bed, Black Licorice for the handle and tires, Sweet Tooth for the hub caps, and silver metallic for the sled runners.Score and fold as indicated.

 **********


Assemble the wagon bed into a box, and apply adhesive to the other pieces as shown.You will assemble the two pieces so that the ends overlap and are double thickness.

**********

Attach the "wooden" rails like this.

**********



This is how the ends will look.

**********

The finished wagon bed with rails.Attach the wheels with brads just above the floor of the wagon bed and apply adhesive to the handle tongue.

**********


Finished and filled!

**********

I used the same holes that I used for the wheels to attach the sled runners. Presto chango--now it's a sled!


Thanks for stopping by! I hope this helps!

Paper: Red Hot, Black Licorice card stock, Sheltering Tree digi paper (MFT); silver metallic (SU!)
Accessories/tools: Baby Braddies (MFT; Scor-Tape
