Violet Wagon Gift BoxCompleted by Gail Pennycuick

Occasion
Birthday / Birthday Female

I printed the design onto quality matte cardstock and cut out the pieces. I followed most of the instructions, except for the lid. I turned it the opposite way, so that it showed the pattern when the roof came off.

I decoupaged the pansies for the window boxes and roof, attached the butterflies to the roof and the wheels as shown.

For the picket fence, I glued them back to back so that the colouring showed on both sides of the palings.

I left a small part unattached at the bottom of each paling and scored and folded them open to give me a base to glue them to the platform.

I added some glitter highlights here and there and propped the steps to the platform to complete this wagon. This makes up into a lovely little set; ideal for a gift box.
