Reinventing The Wheel

The 3/4" wooden wheels I have are too large for the project I am working on. So I decided to try to make my own wheels.

I punched 1/4" circles in corrugated cardboard. Then I cut out 1/2" wheels and painted them black. I used a flower punch to make the spokes of the wheels. I painted some hole punch reinforcements and placed them on the outside of the wheels over the edges of the flowers.

Here are my little wheels with the project I am working on for the garden center. The frame is made with skinny sticks, matchsticks, 1/8" quarter round and spray painted window screen.

I still have more inventing and more work to do. Hopefully, my miniature garden cart will look something like this when finished?

Hope you have a good day! I'm going to go sew some screen now...
