- Jar lids
- Adhesive glue

Directions:
Step 1
Apply 2 coats of crimson chalk paint all over the inside and outside of the brownie pan making sure to let it dry completely in between applications. Tie a jute string through the hole at the top of the spatula’s handle, then dap some hot glue at the tip, and coil the jute string around to cover the tip. Next, continue to wrap the jute string around the handle until half is completely covered, then apply some adhesive glue and hot glue all over the top scoop of the spatula, and adhere it underneath the side of the pan. Place some weight on top until it dries completely, and then apply 2 coats at the center of each jar lid with plaster chalk paint making sure to let it dry in between applications. Paint the outer edges as well as the sides with ink chalk paint and let dry completely.

Step 2
Place the wooden half beads on top of a paper-lined surface, then paint them with crimson chalk paint, and let dry completely before hot gluing them to the center of each painted jar lid. Flip the pan over, then measure the width, and cut 2 dowel sticks accordingly. Sand the edges of the dowels, then hot glue the jar lids on each side to complete the set of wheels, and then adhere them underneath the pan. Once completely dry and adhered, you can make the paint look rustic by dry brushing antique wax chalk paint all over the pan and the wheels, but if you don’t like this step, then skip it. Now, all you need to do is to decorate your wagon with season-themed embellishments and objects, and you’re done!
