| | Supplies are as follows White fabric. I got mine from a yard sale for 4 dollars for the whole bolt Arch way. cardboard Rope or thick yarn. Sissors You make a small coverd wagon. Phase one is being done. I will have step by step directions. Thought it would be fun on stage or in a room agianst the wall. I cut holes so this is a no sew project. Love those types of projects. My husband said it was a cool idea hope it will help all of you .

| Doreen are you planning on making a whole wagon? That would make a cool sitting area with a bench underneath too.

| | I am trying to find the other arches I have. I know I have a few more of them. Just not finding them . THe material isn't wide enough to make a whole wagon unless I sew the width together. The idea just hit me kinda like the water fall. More experiments to come. One arm makes it harder to make everything so it a family affair. Have my team players helping me out. I am trying to figure out if I should have one large and one small or just make more than one of the small wagons. any ideas run them past me still in creation mode. Also thank you so much on the comment on my Dad. He is doing such a wonderful job. I will relay the message to him. God bless

Doreen, if you don't find your arches, Big!Lots has them for $7 or $8.
Not my Big Lots! 
Would Orchard Supply have them?

| | I just hit the dollar store here in town and what a find and idea. cardboard formed around a hula hoop. for a wagon wheel. Wheels are turning. then I got five small cowboy hats. small but will work for the characters. Have to come up with color bands for them since they are all straw plain looking or spray paint them . God bless
