Creating your Fall wagon

Here is a step-by-step guide to help you create a beautiful autumn wagon decor:

Applying paint to baking pan and sign

First, take your baking pan and apply two coats of spray paint. It's important to do this in a well-ventilated area. Once done, set the pan aside and allow it to dry completely. While the pan is drying, grab your magnetic tins and black paint. Paint the front outer surface, lid, and bottom container of the tins black, making sure to cover everything except for the inner plastic area of the lid. Set the tins aside and let them dry.

Next, take your thankful sign and apply yellow and gold paint to it. Mix the two colors together and apply two coats of paint for the best results. Once the sign is complete, take the lids of your tins and apply white paint to the inner plastic portion. Make sure to cover it completely.

Removing sunflowers from stems

Now, remove the sunflowers from the stems and glue them onto your wagon using hot glue. You can then add autumn leaves and glue them into place. For the wagon handle, cut three strands of twine and tie off one end. Braid the three strands together and tie off the other end. Finally, glue one end of the twine to your wagon using hot glue.

Once the lids are dry, attach them to the sides of your wagon using hot glue. The magnetic backing of the tins may not be enough, so it's best to use hot glue for a secure hold. That's it! These simple steps will help you create a wonderful autumn wagon decor.

Adding in pumpkin and squirrel figurines

To enhance the autumnal theme of your wagon, consider incorporating pumpkins and squirrels. For added stability, use hot glue.

Optional-Adding in vase fillers

Adding vase fillers and a bow to the front of your wagon are worth considering, as they can enhance the overall appearance of your creation. Your wonderful Fall wagon is now complete and ready to be displayed. I hope that you enjoyed making it! If you decide to create your own wagon, please do not hesitate to let me know. Otherwise, feel free to leave a comment just to say hello. Thank you for taking the time to visit!
