This Gypsy Wagon.
It was love at first sight.
I swooned. I 'oohed' and 'ahhhed'. Finally, I could resist no longer and had my way with it!
Isn't it darling?! AND I've got two videos to help you create this project. THIS ONE is me blabbing about how you shouldn't feel overwhelmed at all because it's pretty dang easy to put all those bits together. The second video is a walk though for decorating and embellishing this bad boy and can be found HERE.
You absolutely 100% do not need to decorate the wagon as I have, but I hope the walk-through gives you a few ideas and a bit of inspiration.
Now for my full-on gushing. There are plenty of opportunities for embellishment with this piece. You could go absolutely bonkers with fillagrees, frills and decorations. You could lose yourself in colour and trims. Really, this is one of those projects to pull out that 'something special' that you've been saving for just the right time. It's a crafty splurge.
Don't forget the insides! Even with the roof fixed into place it's fun to peek through the windows and see what the little people have been up to.
Now for the big fat supply list!
