 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching my tutorial today. So this video kick starts my Easter series 2020, so I've just finished Mother's Day and now we're moving on to Easter and I've been looking forward to this. I've had a lot of these projects now for a while, so I'm really excited to start sharing them with you all. So I thought I would kick start with something that's quite a meaty project, it's something that you can get your teeth into, spend a bit of time on and have it ready in time for Easter if it was Easter themed that you wanted to do because of course with all my projects you don't have to do them or decorate them how I have this would look fantastic for Christmas, for Halloween, for a birthday gift, you know whatever you want really it could just be a nice you know piece to have in your home all year round in the colours of your home for example. So it's entirely up to you what you do with it but this is my Easter wagon or my spring wagon but it's just so cute so you could pretend to pull it along if you wanted to add real moving wheels on it but if I just kind of sit it like this it's really hard I can't get it all in view it's a nice size and the lid comes off and it's a storage box or a gift box like I said you could have a very special gift in here but mine is going to be storage for over Easter it's going to be a centrepiece so I plan to do lots of eggs around it and I'm going to create a little scene but just to give you a look closer there you've got Easter eggs piled outside the house you've got a little I'm trying to get it the right way around apologies let's go this way here you've got a little kind of a tea set outside the front there you've got jumbo carrots you've got the little milk churn and plants and flowers and the holographic cardstock bunting on the side here you've got those lovely windows that I use which are the Christina Griffiths ones from the province collection the ones with the shutters beautiful crocheted flowers a little wooden bunny I love the wagon wheels and all the detail and then you've got a rose little rose bush there on the back I've got a little bit of detail I haven't done too much on the back you're never really going to see any of that but and then this tinsel everywhere so it is in is it in true mixed up craft style and Sam's style it's over the top colorful bold and I love it so I hope you enjoy the tutorial and yeah let's start okay so this is the paper pad that I'm going to be using I'm going to use this guy either going to be the stripes the polka dot and then this which I've already done for the basic because it's that kind of um decking kind of look so this is the very bottom and this is a piece of seven by eleven it's the two mil gray board which I always use and it's always linked now to cover it I went and done that off camera just because you're just wrapping the paper around and sticking it down but it was a piece of that which was 12 and I don't think I'd cut anything off so yeah it looks like 12 by 12 I mean you can trim it if you want to but just wrap it around I've used my calau and that's you know just become a really nice solid piece now so it's definitely going to hold some weight to it so get that one all prepared also when you've covered it just go around the corners and kind of just like round them off you know you just get a nice finish then if you want to put some decorative metal edges on them as well you can do okay so then you'll need two pieces so these are going to be for your front and back okay and these are five and a half by six if you want to cut a door out of yours then you'd want to do that now before we start to stick everything together but I'm just going to stick one of my die cuts on them so the box itself will just be you know completely solid I'm not going to be cutting any windows or anything so two pieces of that then the roof you want two pieces of nine by five the roof I'm going to do later okay because we can do that right at the end and then for the I am going to do a base which I can then add glue to and stick on to this piece I think it's just going to be easier so you want one piece of five and a half by eight and then for your main sides here you want two pieces that are six by eight okay so what we want first of all is the front and back and these sides okay the base will come later along with that and then I've just gone and cut all these kind of hinge pieces because I want to add pattern paper I'm going to add the hinges this time rather than wrap the paper around and yeah I just think it's just going to be a bit easier so you want to get a paper that's going to kind of complement the papers you're going to use okay so I've gone for this kind of like yellowy colour which is going to match really nicely with the papers so you are going to need four pieces that are two by six okay first of all grab the front or back it doesn't matter they're both the same size pop them over there for the minute and you want to do it so that you have half an inch one inch on one side and then one inch will wrap around onto one of your bigger side pieces like this so it's up to you what glue you're going to use I am going to stick with my calau it does take a little bit longer but it will you know it be worth it because the whole piece becomes solid so this is the little paper that I'm using this one here and it is it doesn't tell you the weight I don't think oh there it does 135 gsm okay which is it doesn't tell you in pounds but um it's perfect for this so just fold it in half there just so you've got a rough idea of you know where your inch is I'm going to have to fill this up definitely in a moment so I'm just going to pop my glue all on one side there once I've shown you how to do one I'll put the rest on high speed because it's very very easy so along the six inch side obviously the five and a half is the you know the top or the bottom so just stick that on there and just make sure you've brought that right around like so push down on that I'm just going to let that dry minute fill this up quickly okay and then I'm going to add that I'm going to work on this side as well so I'm just going to fold this one in half don't have to be exact don't worry about getting your scoreboard out and that kind of thing just as long as it covers like so and then that one can go on that side okay then grab one of the side pieces so the six by eight and you want to add glue onto the other side of the tab and keep it folded right over and then you're going to there will be obviously a you know that two mil that will actually stick to the side of this so I'm sticking this side of this piece here onto this piece you see there so it was on top of it not on the side of it so keep this up right and you can then push against and hold that at a really nice right angle so just hold that there for a minute until that starts to dry okay so you can see there where that is stuck on top of this piece it's not on the side of it so again I'm just going to hold that like so open up this one pop my glue all on there make sure you run the glue along the side as well and then I'll put a little bit on top again I'm going to bring it up this way grab the other side so the other six by eight piece and again just sticking it on top of that gray board okay and then with the other two pieces again just fold them in half and pop the hinges on the sides of this last five and a half by six piece and add glue on to you can do both at the same time or one at a time again make sure you go along the sides and on top of the gray board I'll do one at a time and then you're going to stick it onto this one again making sure it sticks onto this piece not next to it actually I am going to do both at the same time because then I can just get them stuck down like evenly okay so that's our box now all taken shape then I've cut four pieces of two by five and a half again fold them in half and you're going to just put them over the top here you might have to cut a little bit off actually because obviously we've come in a little bit because of the way that we've put that gray board in so just snip of it off and make sure you get a really nice snug fit like so it's going to cover the top and the bottom of both of these ends okay so get them all stuck down so you should have that now on the two ends and then you want to cut four pieces of eight by two and do exactly the same now on the longer sides okay just about to stick down these ones and then until actually you need to add the hinges onto the base this is the five and a half by eight so what I will say is you probably just want to go around and do the tops and then do the bottom ones on the base so I'm just going to recut these two sizes here but I'm just going to stick one on that side because then you can attach this all to the bottom of the the frame that we've just made so if I just pop that one on there and just show you so I'll stick the cut the other two so that length are done there but then that can stick onto the base like this and then I'm going to add glue onto that and stick it onto this piece here so yeah I'd stick stick those ones on there just make sure they all line up okay so that's stuck down and then I have or not on that one just put glue on all four sides okay and then you can sit it over the top and pop each one on the side and just push down inside here and you might have to trim off any little bits that may overhang like I've got some there because obviously you know we might just need to slide in a cross actually I think that's okay okay now I have got some little bits of greyboard visible there so it might be a been worthwhile for me to have put my long strips on this greyboard before I put the side hinges on at the beginning but I'm going to be heavily decorating this the roof's going to be on top of this as well and you're not going to see it but I'm I'm going to be having like vines and grasses and stuff so I'll probably just stick a couple over there you're not going to see it so I'm really not worried about that but you know if you are someone that you know that's going to bother you then just cover it just before you stick the hinges off it's it's easily sorted but I'm really pleased with what we've got a nice solid box here and that's just going to get even you know more stronger as that glue dries more stronger it's going to strengthen okay so now you want to add glue all onto the bottom of that and stick it onto this piece and you want to have it so that you have I think it was an inch or is it half let me just see this way here what I kind of worked out maybe it's three quarters yeah three quarters of an inch either side so you kind of want three quarters of an inch at the back you want this larger area at the front we're going to have the fencing all the way around and then I'm going to build up Easter eggs and everything all here you may want a bigger area here so if you do then you need to extend this piece of greyboard it's already 11 if you you know um if you're buying the a3 which I have then you can come out you know considerably longer I think it's about 14 so you could come all the way out here so it's entirely up to you but I'm going to now cover this quite a lot because this is you know going to be a nice decorative piece that's going to come out year after year and just absolutely cover the bottom here with my glue plenty of wiggle room with this callow so and it dries clear and again I'm going to be having lots and lots covering all of this so um I'm not too worried but just spend time now making sure that you've got even three quarters of an inch on each side so I can come over a little bit there keep it nice and straight and again at this end here and that is it so I'm now going to leave this and um let it set and I'm going to come back to it you know probably the next day so don't rush yourselves don't you know try and do all this in one day it's good to walk away from things and kind of think about it again so yeah that's where I'm going to leave it for now but for you I'll go straight onto it because obviously you're watching the video but yeah get it to this stage and yeah I'm really pleased with it so far okay so it's now the next day and I have been working on some more of the box it's coming together so nicely it's really absolutely solid and it's going to you know hold some really heavy you know pieces so you'll notice that inside I've done exactly the same thing I've covered all of the corners so just for strips some are bigger than others it was kind of just bits of off cuts I didn't want to cut into other sheets and this one's a slightly different color but it really doesn't matter but it's just added strength and it also means it's easy now for us to add our pattern papers and yeah you don't have to you know faff about with the corners or anything like that so I've already gone and decorated the front so I've used this lovely stripe really like this one and then I've got polka dots on the ends so for the for the two main sides you'll want two pieces that are this is bang on eight because we've extended it ever so slightly by adding you know these pieces on so they're exactly eight by six two pieces but then you'll want two pieces that are let's just check that one there yes these are five and three eighths by six two pieces all right and then I've gone and cut all these pieces for inside so I've got two pieces here which are five and a quarter it's a slightly smaller again because we're working inside by just under six and you'll see one will go in there nicely okay and then one will go down that end of there and then these two here are for the side and these are five and seven eighths of an inch by seven and seven eighths of an inch two pieces one for each side here again they all fit in once I've added my glue and kind of you know spread them all out and then this one here is for the base and this is five and a quarter by seven and seven eighths okay I will also list in my blog how many roughly of all these kind of pieces you need to cover all of you know the the the corners you know um yeah all the corners so I'm going to go and stick them down I'm going to stick the base down first of all and then we're going to start working on the roof which is just off here which I've already started preparing okay so now I have a really nice lined storage box and I just I'm so excited for this one okay so next we want to start creating the roof so I've got two pieces here I can't remember if I gave the sizes to those or not at the beginning but they're nine by five two pieces and you'll see I've just done exactly the same thing cut you know strips of paper that are the you know the height or the width of the grayboard and I've just wrapped them around so do this before and this is kind of what you would want to do really with these side pieces is you know do this before you then add these kind of hinges on the sides just so that you cover the tops you'll see there I did actually go in and put little bits of hard stock just over the corners because it was bugging me sorry paper because it was bugging me that I could see the grayboard but if you do this first can you see there you can't see any of it so yeah but you'll notice that as you're doing it but if you do it so that you don't have any along the top because they're going to go like this and I've got these pieces ready here and this is what I'm going to now show you what we're going to do so have them like that okay and then I've got one of these which is the whole length of this so it's nine inches by two and I'm going to pop my glue on yeah I'm going to do both sides because we want to start putting it into its shape and you'll probably want to do the triangle bits as well but it's fine because I can just stand this up for a minute so I'm just covering this one and I'm just going to pop it on one side for the minute okay so make sure it covers it all so if it's a little bit longer you know that's good you want it longer than rather than shorter because you can trim it but you want to cover the grayboard you see there I've got no no ends on it and I've got a really nice let me grab this is what's going to go over the top and it's got all of the bunting and that's going to be my roof so it's not your your conventional roof but this is a whimsical storage box but I think that's going to look really nice on the top there so that's what I'm going for so I thought this blue worked really nicely and helps that white kind of pop you just get that nice kind of subtle blue kind of border all the way around the sides there so make sure that's you know nice and secure the cloud takes a few more minutes but once it does start to grip we all know how much I love this stuff okay so what I would do is just make sure that you've got glue right in there okay and then you want to grab the other one and you want to stick this one down just move that out the way and you're going to be kind of working it as a hinge at the minute so don't worry about you know having it like that or like that just kind of get it stuck because you'll be able to move this a little bit anyway but you just want to just kind of get that folded over and you want them kind of side by side so there's kind of a gap you know so they're just kind of like when I open it up a bit like when we do our mini albums and stuff you have that kind of gap you kind of want that so again if I bring it around so there's a there is a very thin gap there again it's not the end of the world but it will mean that you might if you've gone up say this one's running you know next to this it's coming up higher this side of your roof is going to be ever so slightly shorter so by keeping them you know so they're just touching and there's a gap it means they're going to be the same you know um coming down each side so what I've gone ahead is I've prepped this one already and you'll see how that is going to fit in there and then that will be our roof right you can see if I bring it up then we're going to set it back a bit just like a dip of the sheet shed and then you've got room to be able to decorate this bunting all that lovely stuff you know I'd done a nice little thing it said lavender I'm trying to look up but it's just oh yeah number two lavender I had a little sign on there so you know you've got that all of that to do later so this here is a piece you want two pieces of greyboard which is six and a quarter by three and a half and along the six and a quarter you want to mark at three and one eighth so right in the middle and then you're just going to with a pencil just draw down and then just cut it out now I used my scissors just because I was being lazy but if you've got the Tim Holtz ones they do cut through because you know these are great real kind of industrial um scissors like so but um you know if you've got your trimmer at hand then use it but I'm just being lazy I've just it's underneath a load of stuff and can't be bothered to remove it so like that okay so we've got you'll have two like this and then I've got more blue I need to trim some bits down you just want to cover each side so that one fit there now I have to do that one first and just cover it over and once you've stuck it down just trim that off work on another side trim it off and work on another side so while that's kind of in its shape and sticking there I'm gonna do these ones here okay so I've got all of those edges covered and then I've got another piece here which again is that full width can you see now that's kind of staying in its shape it's not moving too much on its own so you know once you've got your triangle you can kind of you know start to you know keep it in its shape it's almost a right angle actually just just coming in slightly so I'm gonna add glue to the outside of this one and you want to stick it inside the roof again it's optional but it adds a lot of strength and it will make the inside look nice as well because I will cover this with paper um so you know my idea for how I'm going to use this over Easter is it will have sweet treats in it and it will be in the in the living room or on the kitchen top and people can just kind of help themselves so I'm gonna put something on the outside maybe with treats you know some wording I'm gonna have a look at my stamps when I start to decorate and just see what I can use but now I'm just gonna pop that inside here kind of cup it in your hand just so it doesn't kind of lose its shape too much and just with your bone fold you can kind of go in there and just stick that down again if anything's overhanging you can trim it it's best to have it overhang then not long enough but um yeah just spend a minute getting that stuck down okay so now what we want to do is I've got a piece here which is um four and a half so it's the length of one of these sides here you'll need four pieces of this so it's four and a half by uh what do I do they're one and a half two or one is fine but you just want to make sure you've got enough to be able to stick it you know to each side so I'm just going to cover one side at a time because you want to trim a little bit of this before we stick it in and you're going to line it up like so okay don't know if it doesn't come right down to the point it you don't need it to but you just want to stick it like this so it's on the back you can see the side of this piece here and this is how we're going to attach it inside here this is all going to be covered in decorative paper I'm going to add bunting here lots of you know it's going to be heavily decorated so all the corners and stuff although they look fine anyway but um you can see there but once it dries you want to trim this piece off here so I'm just going to go in just underneath there it's easier to do that when you stuck it on then for me to tell you what angle you got a cutter and stuff it's just so much quicker to do it that way so you want to do the same on the other side and on this piece as well okay so with those four pieces I'm just folding them in half and then just add glue to one side I'll do this one again with you quickly like so again sticking it on there and again just trim that was very wet but I'll give those scissors a good clean after this but now we've got this kind of hinged piece that will sit perfectly in there and it's all again going to line that nicely and we can you know decorate all this in a moment okay so get the other one done okay that one's still drying so I'm going to crack on with this one so now what you want to do is you might find you want to mark basically we're going to stick this a quarter of an inch down I'm going to eyeball it because I know you know where that is but you're going to stick it in like so if you want to mark there with a pencil now then do so but I'm going to add the glue on the outside of these flaps but also on the actual side because that grey board you've got that two mil so just pop it along there as well because it's all just going to help you know stick the whole thing together okay so I'm going to pop that one in about a quarter of an inch down and you'll just need to hold it there for a minute until that grabs then it will now stand up you know kind of sit up in this position grab the other one and you're going to do the same you're going to come down a quarter of an inch but please check first so I would almost well do what I'm going to do now I'm going to put it on but then I'm also going to you know kind of sit it on top and make sure it does close because yeah you might find you even want to measure it but I'm just going to pop this in again about a quarter of an inch down just going to let it grab for a minute because I still got time to reposition even you know if I need to move it a bit now you can pop it on yeah I need to move that just up a little bit so that's why you know use your liquid glue it's just the same as the she-shed there we go that fits perfectly yeah you want it to slide down a bit I'm really pleased with that that fits fine so just now you can really kind of spend time on there just making sure it's all really stuck down it all looks a bit messy with the glue at the moment but that all dries clear and we're going to be covering this just like we did with the base it's going to look lovely okay so I've covered everything apart from this one here and I'm going to show you how to do that to get the angles so for the top pieces I just adore this bunting and with the polka dot and the blue I just think it looks so sweet so these are just under nine by five all right or just under again you know do check yourself this is just the ones I've used and then you're going to want four pieces of six by three and one eighth and along the six inch side here just as we did to cut the grayboard for the the sides of the roof there just mark it three and then just draw a pencil down and then I actually used this one and just traced it around the other ones so you know you don't have to do that on every single one and then use your trimmer or your scissors and as you cut just remove the pencil line just so you don't have to rub it out like so and then I'm just going to add that glue on the back and stick it down on the last one so I am done for the minute I am now going to think about the wheels and the decoration the windows and everything but you can see now how that will sit on obviously it's laying down but it should mine comes down about a quarter of an inch inside there you can see it looks so cute I absolutely adore this can't wait to decorate it so yeah go take a break now and we'll start decorating it okay so now I want to add my picket fence so this is what I shared in one of my what did I get videos a while back now and you buy well I've cut that piece off there so that's you know the length that you get it's a good good length and what I done you can see it's really you know easy to move around and it's really easy to snip so I just used my pliers here and I'll just show you there but you can just well actually no I didn't I used my scissors and it cut really easily so let me just show you which is even better but look just cuts right through it's really it's kind of like a real soft wire so don't use your best scissors these are just old ones but um yeah you can see how easy it is to trim but what I found with this one is I've done five so one two three four five then bend and then I counted 21 and then bend and then I can't remember what was along there but you do five again from this end that was already folded so actually it's one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen on the back and then fold and then another twenty one fold and another five okay and then that will wrap perfectly around here it's not hugging the house because you don't want the building um but it comes up you want it to come up and it's hard to see I take the roof off actually I think we're going to work a bit easier yeah it comes up to the edge here we're not right to the edge it's about you've got about one quarter all the way around of this green my glue gun on nice and hot here and I'm going to start off with see you kind of once you've stuck one down you can't really like bend it up too much I probably don't need to add glue you know two in too many places so I'm just going to add a little bit on the bottom there and keep that nice and hot and a little bit on the corner too and then that's probably enough but you have to kind of be a hundred percent where you're sticking this so I think that keep everything nice and straight that's nice and secure there so what I'm going to do is because I can see I'm going to kind of follow this green line in the paper that's the line I'm going to follow so all I'm going to do is just every maybe every five is I'm just going to put a little bead of glue and then I can just kind of carefully lift it up over and just stick that down I'm just kind of holding place again you know be careful because obviously it's hot but when it's kind of a bit cooler you can push the kind of the glue and kind of flatten it a little bit so like now I'm going to just go in and just push that against the little fence there it just kind of disguises it even more so I'm going to go around like I said every five I'm just going to pop some glue under okay so there is the fence how adorable is that it's this that I just for me oh just totally transforms it and then if I pop that back on again you imagine once the doors in place and the windows on the side oh it's so cute okay so next I'm going to do the wheels now this again is completely optional but what I've gone ahead and done I think they're dry yeah might be a little bit I think they're okay so this is just the gray board and I actually drew around the bottom of my calow bottle okay you can use a die if you want but again I was being lazy and I couldn't be bothered to get up so this is a diameter of three and a quarter okay so I went and done that four times and then I've got two up here and I've got these two here which are just drying a little bit in the center and you can see what I've done now they're not perfect and to be honest again I'm not too worried but what you will want to do is I used a nail file and I just went around and just kind of you know smoothed out the sides and I just cut these with my Tim Holtz scissors you can use a cutting knife if you'd rather but because it's a circle you might obviously you know struggle a bit getting that angle but they're kind of they're all the same size but some of them are a little bit wobbly but it looks homemade and again you know if you've got the Cricut Maker that will cut through this then obviously use that but um this worked fine for me so I've done two already with the holes and I've got some dowling here this is again in terms of mill it's five mill and it's this cuts really easily and I've just basically cut this to the width of this bottom grayboard piece here which is well that would have been that must have been I thought that was hang on a minute let me just double check yeah it's seven and this is seven and a quarter okay so again with this one here because this is going to be now the reason I've done it on the doweling is just basically to give support underneath if I do put something heavier in and this is what I did use my pliers for but it's so soft it just cut like butter I just took it off like so and then just with a nail file just just clear up the bottom up you're not going to see any of this it's all going to be hidden underneath and then you'll see I'm going to stick it with hot glue just so it's flush with there so it's actually only in that two mil width of the grayboard and what I'm going to do is I'm going to go onto my Cricut and make a wheel you know and or look at some images and then I'm going to stick that on get it cut so you're not going to see all this I'm going to paint over that in white again in a minute as well all the whites really done I've just used this acrylic is just to cover the the edge really because I'm going to cover all of this and I'm probably going to have pink kind of like wood effect on on the wheels there so you'll see that one and that one is going to go in like so and then I'm going to attach them with hot glue underneath but it just means then that any pressure least this has gone through the card I mean if you want to have it sticking out more and make more of a feature then you can do but I wanted mine completely flush because I'm going to die cut something to go on the top and then I might put some hardware in the middle there so I'll get that one stuck down in a minute but to get the the kind of again I'm being really kind of lazy but just find the center and then I used my pokey tool or did I know I didn't I used some scissors and just in fact I think that can go that way a little bit I think that's better just kind of pop the scissors in to start it off and then I just put both ends in a really lazy way but you know I'm just trying to show you ways to do these things without having to go out and get you know special supplies so you'll see now that goes in there but I did trim grab my other ones because these are really pointy just trim off the excess there because you don't want any of that bolt and I said you know it doesn't matter what this looks like because it's all going to be covered and even if you don't have a cricket you know just die cut some circles and some pattern paper and you can just cover that so you know there's lots of ways to do this but now you just see it's in there so and then if I just lay that one down over that one and then just draw through and again probably just go straight in actually like that so again I'm not too worried about the paint coming off any of this it was the paint which really just a cover like I said the um the outside bit so with my hot glue I'm going to pop it just on the very end and then I can add a bit more and I'm going to just kind of push it not that far through it's probably covered now in bits of grey board but get it in place now it's already started to stick but what I'm going to do is put a blob on there and flatten it with my finger once it cools a little bit and then I'll put another piece just around inside there because you're not going to see any of that because it's all going to be hidden underneath okay so I've done these now and these are nice and they're solid so they're not going anywhere and I also covered the bottom with a piece of six and three quarters by 10 and three quarters now with these ones here I did squash down the glue you see I mean they don't look anything special in there but no one's going to see it but you don't you do want to push that glue down you don't want it too bulky because what's going to happen is you want the doweling to be able to rest on here so I mean mine's just on the ends there so you might want to go slightly longer with the doweling maybe seven and three eights but all that is is a support this isn't really kind of you know these aren't going to actually move so I'm going to be adding hot glue you know so they actually glue onto this side of this as well but what you want to do is work out where you want them positioned because you know it does change the look of the the wagon depending on you know if you've got them really far apart let's just pop this one in here just cut away some of the glue there because that was a bit bulky but let so you imagine let me grab the roof you've got a picture these with all the detail on I mean you would have seen it anywhere at the beginning with the photo so it all comes together but it doesn't look cute it just looks adorable so you need to yeah think about whether you want them further apart like right you know one on each end like that or closer together I mean that's not going to look right but I think I'm happy with having one there so I've just sorted that out in a minute and one kind of there so I've got about maybe an inch there showing at each end so I'm going to work with this one first of all I'm going to lay that back down I've just cut away some of the glue on the top half can you see there so now that can sit you want that to be flush if you want it to stick because that's what's going to really give this lots and lots of strength so again just make sure you've got it an inch down I mean this is the way I'm doing it like I said not everybody's going to even add the wheels so but I always like to do something a bit extra okay then all I'm going to do is just pop it just underneath there on both sides and just let that set I'm not going to touch you know play with it they are completely flush with the bottom and they are stuck really well that's solid that one's just ready it's just literally got a few more minutes and then that'd be completely solid but now look oh my gosh I mean ignore all of that because it looks rubbish at the minute but let's just pop this on oh my gosh it's adorable I can't wait so that is everything done in terms of the actual structure now is a fun part of just looking at stuff to decorate it so I'm going to get my door together my windows what I'm going to use to cover the wheels and then I'm going to have bunting I'm going to have little Easter signs and I'm thinking about having something I don't know maybe some steps or something there I may just leave that I'm not sure or I might have you know something to pull it um like a handle or something we'll see okay so now I have added on these really lovely wagon wheels this pink with the holographic cardstock I think looks fantastic now the file for this was just what I made on my Cricut machine so I will put the file in my blog post for this so if you would like to you know print it off or if you've got a cutting machine yourself then you'll be able to pop this file in and you'll be able to get your machine to cut it for you so I'll give you the measurements let me just grab my ruler here because the diameter of this one again depending on what size you've done your initial wheel you may want to shrink yours down or make it bigger but it's three inches okay so I've done them so I've stuck them on all four sides so I've just done a three inch die cut or you know cut a three inch circle in holographic cardstock and then put the cut file over the top so you get that cool effect what I've then gone and done which is now the fun part because it is just all down to that decoration is I have done all the little bits and pieces that I'm going to be adding so I've used the windows from the summer cottage that I shared and it's this set here from the simply made crafts sorry from card making magic and again I've you know I shared this it was the unboxing kind of thing when I just showed the new collection that was it sorry I was just thinking about something else at the same time I was talking I'm not very good at that yeah I showed you how to make these in the summer cottage tutorial so I will link that here somewhere go to that have a little look and you know you can make them up but they're really fun and again I've used the holographic no this is just silver card in the background there just to just to create a reflection really but the portion of these I think works really well sorry if I shook the camera there but it's going to go you imagine obviously the roof comes down a little bit now I won't put the you do get the planter the window planter with this as well but I'm not adding that so you'll see there that's going to sit about there the window planters just going to catch on the top of the the fence there so I'm going to add flowers just stick them onto it but you're going to have them like that and I'm not going to stick the shutters down I'm going to leave them so that they can be moved because I just think it's quite nice to have that so I've done those so they're going to go gosh they're going to go on both sides I think I'm just going to pop the roof there for the minute then I've made my door from scratch I did have it was a simply made crafts let me here it is I've still got it nearby this one here which is the small ornate milk box and I thought I might have been able to have made that door but the that door it just doesn't it gets lost on the front there so I've just made one with that as my kind of you know inspiration really with the panels and I'm going to print off a small little letterbox with letters or I might do something like eggs only or something a bit more or I might just have Easter on that I don't know but you'll see that later on but I'm just going to go onto the computer and type that and print that off but yeah this is really nice if you you know if you do have it then there are elements here that you can use because I've actually die cut this here which you'll see and I'm going to have that all stuck together and I'm going to pop it on the top here so that's the idea for that and then I have gone and grabbed the other car making magic die set and that's this one here which is the province collection and you have the trellis which I've done you've got bunting so I am going to add more bunting onto this I've done the milk churn I've done the plant or the trowel trough trowel no trough yeah and the basket there's little plant pots there there's loads of pieces and you'll see I've gone and cut all sorts I've got some from old collections in there as well but um I'm just going to be sticking them down I think there are the stamped pieces I've still got these left over I've got little flowers here from other stamps that I've done and they're going to look nice so you know kind of go away and just stamp and die cut and just raid what you have and yeah just throw anything you've got really at it and see how it comes together which is what I plan to do so I'm going to pop this all on high speed because I don't need to tell you you know stick that there and pop that there you'll see all that in the photos and when I kind of talk through it at the end I'm also going to add some Easter eggs and some more Easter themed pieces to it but uh yeah grab a cup of tea sit back and enjoy me putting it all together okay so I think I am where I want to be with this as always I do add little bits here and there so if I find something small and cute and Easter themed then I can always add it but I'm really really pleased with how this is all ended up so I've added my silver tinsel all around the roof I'm sure see there then I've used this happy happy birthday happy Easter this was from the hell's couple ditch some summer magazine that she'd done last year these were just some tulips from a Christina Griffiths quite a new set actually I just had them left over I've got a butterfly there so that was the roof kind of done and then on the side you'll see I have added like the green kind of vines there all up this trellis I die cut the trellis in white again because I found the craft car just didn't quite go so I've put white over the top and then I've put all white roses which I've used with my glue gun there these are beautiful I'm going to say they're daisies they've got brads through the middle they were made by my friend Kimmy she sent them as some friend mail and I always liked it when I'm sent something it's nice to put it on something that I will keep forever and bring out year after year so they're a nice little kind of reminder of that then here I've just got these were just some little stamps that I'd done before and hadn't used them a little wooden bunny rabbit there so that's one side then if I come around to the front this just looks brilliant trying to hold the lid as I do this so I've got these over the top and oversized carrots but I really like them so yeah it's you know in terms of proportions it's completely wrong but hey I don't care then I have done the kind of the circle window there so it's just to kind of give the you know illusion that there's a little attic inside I've done the bunting in white just again it stands out better and then with the door sorry you saw me you know add all these pieces but then I also just used my circle punches and just cut a couple just a plain one and a scalloped one and then cut it in half and just stuck it behind just so it kind of finished it a little bit more that's just some Nuvo drops just a yellow I just done quite a big blob of it and now that's dry the letters I didn't print I just wrote it myself I thought I'm not you know I don't need to do that really I put number 12 just randomly don't know why I chose 12 but I have and then you'll see here again just trying to hold all that but I've got the milk chain and then I've done so it's got this plant growing out and these are just from all my dried flowers I just kind of had loads of little ones at the bottom so I put them out with some hot glue and then on this side here you'll see I've got a pile of Easter eggs which I love again just use my hot glue to build them up put little vine behind there and then I've also got a tea set that I have glued right down in there and that's just stuff I've had lying around I've used little bits of them in projects before that you may have seen and then on the very front there as well just use more little stamped flowers but all I want to do now to finish it is I'm going to add this kind of faux pulley just to again complete it and I think it kind of thing gives the idea that you can you know pull this along if you wanted to so I've gone and already stuck a lot of it down but you're again if you're doing everything because I've done it then this is a piece of one and a half by four which is the white and then the pink is one and a quarter by where it be three it was three and seven eighths but you but right up to this end leave a border on those three sides there and then along the longer side on both pieces just score it half an inch stick it on and then fold it over so I've got two lots of white and one of the pink okay and I'm going to stick that underneath here I mean it could be if you wanted to do stairs or something you can do see there how it's going to be but then I've got this which I've just done is a little handle and it's just using some rectangle dies and basically I've just used one size then the next size down and then the one that's smaller again I've die cut through both pieces just to create a little bit of a handle so what I'm going to do grab my glue is I'm just going to add put glue on the end of this one in fact you don't need to worry about the border at this end because you're not going to see it so it doesn't you know take it what it is you know you can lots of people would do different ones here but I'm just going to stick that so it's in the center so just make sure you've got you know the same amount overhanging here and it just looks like it's a little handle you know you put your fingers through there and pull it along but you might want to do circular one you might want to put some rope there like I said you might do some stairs so whatever will suit you know your style and then I'm going to add fat I'm going to use hot glue because I've still got my glue gun on so I'm just going to run just so this is really nice and secure and I'm going to sit that there we go so now if I bring it around here you can see you could pull it along with that so if you have major wheels so that they really turn and that's all stuck with hot glue I stuck that with hot glue as well I went back over it it's really really strong but I think it just finishes it off and I like that because with that score line there it just falls down you want it to to fall down so it yeah looks a bit like a slide but it I think it's what kind of really does make it look like a wagon and yeah I'm in love with it I think it's really over the top colorful happy it's going to look great as a centerpiece I'm going to have Easter eggs all around it I'm going to sit it on some either some green moss or some like fake grass and you know like astroturf kind of thing you can buy like rolls of it so I'm going to create a really nice scene and I'll update the photos near Easter so you can you know see what I ended up doing with it but yeah I am over the moon with it so I hope you've enjoyed this first tutorial for this year's Easter series and I look forward to seeing your versions of course it doesn't have to be Easter themed like I said you can do this as any kind of storage you might want to turn it into a Christmas project I know lots of you you know put your twist on it you could do Halloween all kinds of themes with this it will look fabulous yeah I look forward to seeing what you make so thank you for watching and I'll be back again very soon with another tutorial bye
