How To Make A DIY Dollar Tree Wagon

Instead of using an ordinary tray for your small stuff or decorations, try creating this super cute DIY wagon tray by She So CraftDee on YouTube! This fun project is made using a couple of tumbling tower blocks and a few materials from the Dollar store. Try making a set or two of this now, you’ll surely love it.

Materials:

• 1 pack of tumbling tower blocks
• 3 Dollar Tree square signs or scrap lumber
• 2 Dollar Tree toy motorcycles
• 1 pack of 3-piece set Dollar Tree plastic buckets
• 3 bundles of Dollar Tree wildflowers
• Dollar Tree wooden dowels
• 16 pieces of small Dollar Tree craft sticks
• 4 pieces of #6 .75″ wood screws
• 1 piece of 1.5″ brad nail
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks
• Primer paint
• Metallic spray paint
• Wood stain

Directions:

Step 1

If you want to stain the blocks, then do it now and let them dry before you start assembling. Grab 2 blocks and glue them together on their shorter sides, then glue 2 blocks on each side of one short edge to form an inverted “T”, and add 2 more blocks on each side of the middle where the vertical blocks were joined. Next, add 7 more vertical pairs of blocks on the side with horizontal braces matching the first one, and add 2 more pairs of vertical blocks on each end but place them on their side. Once you’ve finished this set, create another one, then adhere to some craft sticks at the back as a brace to make them more sturdy. Glue the 2 picket fence together to build and complete your wagon basket.

Step 2

For the base of the wagon basket, you can either use 3 square signs from the Dollar tree or use some scrap wood instead. Dab hot glue on every tip of the wagon basket, then adhere them to the base with their tips facing down and the straight edges facing up. Use a piece of wooden dowel and 2 blocks to create the handle. Primer the basket with white, then stain or paint with any color of your choice, and paint the handle black. While waiting for them to dry, prime the 3-piece set bucket with white, then paint with a metallic spray, and let dry completely. Attach the handle to the bottom of the wagon basket, then remove the wheels from the toy motorcycles, and screw it to the bottom of the wagon basket. Place the bucket inside, then place some flowers or whatever you want inside.
