Easy DIY Metal Truck Floral Decoration

 Hello there! If you are new to my blog, welcome. My name is Stephanie and I enjoy creating affordable fun crafts and sharing them with all of you. Today we're decorating a metal truck. I found this metal truck from my local Dollar Tree for $3. I love these simple projects.  I'd love it if you checked out my recent craft.--DOLLAR TREE GALVANIZED HANGING FLOWER DECORATION. If you're ready to start decorating, let's begin.

Applying paint to the metal truck

Begin by taking your acrylic paint and your paintbrush and applying paint to your metal truck.
I applied around four coats of paint to the metal truck.

Next, using your smaller paintbrushes, apply your second color of paint to your truck. I used a pointy paintbrush when outlining areas on the metal truck. I also added my paint just above the wheel on each side.

After, you can begin to add your paint to the wheels of your truck. I added my light cream paint in the center of each wheel and later took my black chalk paint and applied it to the rest of the wheel. I needed around four coats of paint for this as well.

Adding moss and faux floral

You are now ready to add your moss to the bed of the metal truck. I decided to add just a little hot glue before adding my moss into the bed of the truck. You could just press the moss into the bed of the truck and skip the glue part.

All that is left is to cut sections of your faux flowers and greenery. After cutting your floral to size, take each section and begin to add them inside the bed of the truck. You can use a little hot glue to keep them in place. I used just a little on each of my floral pieces.

Your floral metal truck design is complete. I love how simple this project was. Be sure to let me know if you create your very own. I'll see you soon.
