Garden Cart Progress

I'm making progress on my little garden cart. I made new wheels out of fun foam. The corrugated cardboard ones just didn't look right from the side. I could have saved myself a whole lot of trouble if I had purchased BLACK fun foam! 


I'm making the wheel axles using a black coffee stir stick, a piece of 18 gauge wire and fun foam supports. I think the wheels may actually turn? Not that it makes much difference, but I like that.  :D

Sewing the screen to the frame didn't work. Super glue did.

Now I have black paint and super glue all over my fingers. I hope it will come off when I take my shower?  My co-workers always know when I've been making minis!

Hope you have good day!

It looks great Kathi and very realistic. I especially like the handle.
