Hi everyone. I did a little craft supply shopping a few weekends ago. I couldn't resist all of the sales that were taking place. If you haven't gone to Michaels, you should definitely go soon. They have marked down quite a bit in their store. While I was there I picked up a metal wagon. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it. Soon after, I was able to come up with a few ideas. I decided I'll create a new look for it and it would be added to my other fall decorations. I'll take you through what I did to upcycle my metal wagon.
Video tutorial
Materials needed
One metal wagon--Purchased at Michaels during their fall sale
One fall decorative napkin
Acrylic paint-white
Mod podge
Hello fall sign
One popsicle stick
Hot glue
Paintbrush
Scissors
Faux fall floral
Floral Cutters
Foam craft blocks
Optional--foam pumpkin, scarecrow, fall leaves
Begin with using your paintbrush to apply your white paint onto your metal wagon. I applied two coats of paint to my wagon. I also used my blow dryer between coats to help dry the paint.
Next, take your decorative napkin and cut out the section that you are going to want to display on your wagon. Take your paintbrush, and apply a thin layer of mod podge onto the section on your wagon. Place your napkin over your mod podge, and gently smooth it out. You can take your blow dryer, and smooth it out while drying it. After, take your mod podge, and add a thin layer on top of your decorative napkin. Repeat the step with your blow dryer.
Next, take your foam blocks and add them to your wagon. I decided to add just a little hot glue on the bottom side of each foam block.
After, use your floral cutters and cut your floral to size.
I decided to add my hello fall wood sign. I took a popsicle stick and added some hot glue onto the back of my hello fall sign. I figured by doing this, I could stick the sign into my foam block, and my sign would be a little more visible on the inside of my wagon.
I decided to add in my pumpkin and scarecrow. You can add any decoration of your choice. This upcycle project was simple. I hope that you have enjoyed this project. Thank you so much for stopping by and creating with me. I'll see you soon!

DeleteI need to find these word signs stat, these are so cute. Napkin projects are my favorite to work on, I just have not worked on one in a while. I need to get out so I can find some for fall. If you are not selling crafts, you should be Stephanie, you have such adorable ideas!
ReplyDeleteCara, aw you are too kind. I appreciate that. You can find these word signs at either Dollar Tree or Michael's. I believe I've seen them at Hobby Lobby as well. 🥰
