Elevate Your Decor: Spring Flower Wagon Transformation Craft

Transform an old fall wagon into a beautiful spring floral decoration with this DIY project. Learn how to create a spring decoration for your home. 

If you've seen my fall wagon craft before, you know how I took a Dollar Tree wooden crate and made a mini fall wagon. Today, I'm going to show you how to transform that same wagon into a beautiful spring decoration by adding flowers and a few other simple touches.




Materials

One mini wooden wagon (You can check out the Autumn wagon post for more details) I used one wooden crate and wheels from wooden trucks purchased at Dollar Tree

Artificial flowers

Acrylic paint

Paintbrush

Foam block

Wooden bird

Spring decorations (mini birdhouse, fabric butterfly, and wooden bird)

Floral cutters

Applying paint to the wagon



To start, repaint your wagon in a light pink color. I mixed white and dark pink acrylic paint and applied two coats. Alternatively, you can sand down the previous color before applying the new one. I repainted the wheels in a celery color to match the new wagon design. 

Adding paint to the bird

I painted the wooden bird in a light yellow color to add a pop of color to the wagon.

Adding the foam block

Once you've painted everything, add a section of foam block to the wagon.

Adding flowers and other decorations



Using floral cutters, cut the flowers you want to use in the design. You can reuse spring flowers from other projects to save money and resources.
Insert your flowers into the foam block. After, adding your flowers, use hot glue to add any springtime embellishments. I added in a mini birdhouse decoration, my yellow birdie, and a pink fabric butterfly my youngest daughter gave me. 

That's it for this wagon transformation. I love projects where I can reuse materials and take an old craft and give it an entirely new look. We went from fall to spring wagon in no time!

Thank you so much for visiting and creating a spring flower wagon decoration with me.

Easy Floral Decoupage Idea for Faux Pumpkin Display

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to share a simple and easy floral pumpkin design you can create quickly. Today, we will make a faux floral pumpkin display using decoupage and a few additional designs. I'm reusing a foam pumpkin that I bought at Dollar Tree. If you’re ready, let’s begin creating an easy floral decoupage faux pumpkin display! Quick video tutorial **Materials needed:** - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Floral napkin - Faux pearls - Faux flowers - Craft knife - Scissors - Mod Podge Carefully remove the top of your pumpkin. I used my craft knife to go around the top section, creating a hole at the top. Using a paintbrush, apply acrylic paint to the pumpkin. I chose to paint mine black. Next, use scissors to cut out a few flowers from your napkin. Make sure to remove the second layer of the napkin before cutting out the designs.   Once you have your floral designs cut out, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge to the pumpkin. While the Mod Podge is wet, add the floral napkin c...

DIY Floral Wooden Jack‑O’‑Lanterns (Easy Fall Decor)

I’ve been having so much fun creating fall projects this year. These floral wooden jack‑o’‑lanterns  started as simple wooden pumpkins, but with a few pretty transfers and some soft paint colors, they turned into the sweetest little fall accents. I love how the florals give them a cozy, cottage‑style feel while still keeping that classic jack‑o’‑lantern charm. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and such a cute way to add a warm autumn touch to your home. Watch the video tutorial Materials Wooden pumpkin cutouts Floral transfers Acrylic paint (your chosen colors) Gold acrylic paint Green acrylic paint Mini dowels Hot glue gun + glue sticks Small wooden stands Brown acrylic paint Paintbrushes   Add the floral transfers I started by placing my floral transfers onto each wooden pumpkin, just arranging them until they felt right. Once they were where I wanted them, I used a little rubbing tool to press them down and transfer the design onto the wood. Take your time with this...
