Children's Crafts: Shoe Box Wagon Wheels

Video Transcript

"Now, we're going to prepare the wheels, for the wagon. We're going to be using old CD disks, and what we're going to do, is we're going to attach several of them together, and that will make up our wheels. You should use at least six CD's for each wheel, and you can use up to even eight, is also good for this project. You'll see that if you get any more than eight, it won't be as easy to put them on to the wooden stick, and attach it to the base of the wagon. So all we're doing is taking six disks, and we're putting them one on top of the other, with glue in between, and we're going to let them dry, and each one of these little packages of disks, will be a wheel. Now, it doesn't matter which side you glue, because both sides are just as adhesive, but for the wagon to look nice, you want the same color on the outside, so there's some disks, depending on what kind of disks they are. Some could be a little bit more of a silver color. Some can have more of a blue tint to them, so it's always better to try and find disks with the same color. In our case, we're using the silver color on the outside, and just to be consistent, so all the wheels will look the same. Now, that we've glued together our four piles of disks, we'll let them aside to dry for a few minutes, and this will be the wheels of our wagon, so I've shown you how to glue the packages of disks, to make up the wheels of the wagon."
