How to Make a Decorative Wagon Cart
- 1). Assemble an assortment of potted flowers and trailing plants to display. For a striking autumn display, choose fall mums in various colors and sizes, and vines to trail over the sides of the wagon.
- 2). Find large and small pumpkins and assorted sizes and colors of gourds. Determine which pumpkins and plants will be the focal point of the wagon.
- 3). Place a hay bale in the wagon as a base to raise some of the plants up. Spread some loose hay around the rest of the wagon.
- 4). Spread open the husks on dried corn and lay them across the length of the wagon.
- 5). Position the large plants and pumpkins in a pleasing arrangement. If the center of the wagon is the focal point, center these items. Place trailing vines so they will hang over the sides.
- 6). Tuck smaller plants in bare spots to fill them in. Lay small groupings of gourds around the plants and pumpkins. Use groups of three for best display.
- 7). Drape the garland around and through the plants, pumpkins and gourds, tucking it in to secure.
- 8). Scatter colorful dried or silk fall leaves over the entire display.
- 9). Stand a scarecrow or staked fall sign into the hay bale, if desired.
